Dhigali Maldives to reopen in Oct with new Premium All-Inclusive experience

Published

on

Dhigali Maldives is introducing a new Premium All-Inclusive experience.

Guests staying at Dhigali after its reopening in October will be able to experience the Premium All-Inclusive package — the ultimate way to experience everything the verdant paradise has to offer.

Unlike most all-inclusive packages, at Dhigali your entitlements start from the moment you arrive until the moment you depart. No more frustrating limits! The instant you touch down at Velana International Airport, your every need is taken care of. The package includes a personal meet and greet service plus escorted transfer as well as complimentary VIP lounge access.

Once you have set foot on the island resort, renowned for its luscious jungle and translucent waters, the toughest decision you will need to make is what order to take it all in.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner is included in the premium all-inclusive offering. A selection of premium wines and spirits is also available as part of the package. Minibar is also covered.

Little details, from complimentary cake for those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries to free Kids Club access for children aged four to 12, will make your stay even more tranquil.

A breath-taking array of activities are available to those on the premium all-inclusive package, from snorkelling to non-motorised boat trips to group yoga sessions to access to the Fitness Centre and more. Guests can even enjoy one dolphin cruise excursion and one glass bottom boat trip during their stay at no extra cost.

“Guests will actively relish every second of their stay at Dhigali. The all-inclusive premium experience means every element of the holiday has been carefully crafted to ensure it is as fun and stress-free as possible,” an announcement read.

Dhigali sits in the remote Raa atoll and can be reached by a scenic seaplane journey of just 45 minutes from the main Velana International Airport. Alternatively, guests can take a domestic flight to either Ifuru or Dharavandhoo airport, followed by a speedboat ride to the resort — a journey of about 70 minutes.

The island itself is corralled by 20 Beach Bungalows and 33 Deluxe Beach Bungalows to the south, and 62 Beach Villas which line the north and southwestern beaches. Nestled under a canopy of palms, these beach front sanctuaries provide luxurious intimacy, effortlessly marrying the interior and exterior. Outside, guests can spend their days relaxing in the private deck’s day-bed or opt for one of the 21 Beach Villas with Pool which include a private plunge pool overlooking the sparkling Indian Ocean.

Dhigali’s overwater bungalows dot the island’s azure perimeter. Extending from the southeastern side of the island is a jetty hosting 24 Water Villas, each one rising out of the lagoon on stilts. Similarly, from the southeast of the island snakes a further jetty housing 16 larger Lagoon Villas with Pools.

The singular Dhigali Suite is the pride of the island, featuring an opulent master bedroom, open-air bathroom, beachfront infinity pool and wide sundeck. With sublime ocean views and intuitive luxuries, the Dhigali Suite comes with its own bar and personal butler service, offering pure tropical peace.

Dining experiences at Dhigali are innovative and authentic, with the style and atmosphere of each restaurant reflecting the cuisine. There is a particular focus on fresh Asian dishes, including the specialist Asian restaurant Battuta. Capers is the main restaurant, whilst there is also an upscale Deli, all-day dining at Jade, and freshly grilled meats and fish at Faru. At sunset, guests can make their own way to the upper level of Haali sunset bar with a cocktail in hand.

The Dhigali Spa is a green retreat in the middle of the island, featuring daybeds, an outdoor pool and 12 modern, minimalist treatment rooms that cocoon guests in absolute stillness. Therapies offered by the spa draw on indigenous traditions to heal and reenergise the body and mind, while guests have the opportunity to prolong their visit in the steam room and relaxation lounge, or pamper with a pedicure and a manicure.

In addition to PADI-certified diving, snorkelling and a range of water sports, Dhigali offers island hopping adventures to nearby islands to explore local culture. Access to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Hanifaru Bay in the nearby Baa atoll is available, allowing guests to discover the largest seasonal groupings of manta rays, a variety of stunning corals and huge schools of tropical marine life, as well as the opportunity to spot whale sharks.
