Resort · Baa Atoll
The resort
Dhigufaru Island Resort sits on the protected UNESCO Biosphere reserve of Baa Atoll, near the famous manta ray and whale shark feeding grounds of Hanifaru Bay, its villas arranged along the perimeter of a long, reef-fringed island.
Dhigufaru's seven villa categories — from beachfront Sunrise and Sunset Beach Villas to the semi-water Sangu Suite — showcase the island's distinctive natural features. Guests dine at Dhandifulhu's globally-inspired buffets, the beachfront Athiri Grill, and the overwater Muraka Fine Dining Restaurant, then unwind at the 241 square metre Funa Spa or dive with Ocean Dimensions Dive School into the marine-rich waters surrounding Hanifaru Bay.
