Tucked away on the southern fringe of the Maldives, where the map fades into mystery, lies a sanctuary that feels personally crafted just for you from the moment you arrive.
The Residence Maldives Dhigurah isn’t just another luxury resort.
Unlike the typical one-island Maldivian retreats, this resort offers seamless two-island experience, connected by a picturesque one-kilometer bridge to its sister property, The Residence Falhumaafushi.
Set in the remote Gaafu Alifu Atoll—one of the world’s largest and deepest atolls—The Residence Dhigurah redefines privacy, even by Maldivian standards.
What truly sets this resort apart from other Maldivian retreats is its pristine beaches and coral reefs, which are remarkably untouched. The Residence Maldives Dhigurah offers one of the largest resort experiences in the country, with guests enjoying access to two stunning islands, doubling the dining, activities, and exploration opportunities.
The Rooms
Fusing traditional Maldivian aesthetics with modern motifs, the resort offers 173 sun-kissed beachfront and overwater villas, each with a private pool, a spacious outdoor deck, and direct access to the beach.
Detailed with thatched roof and organic furnishings, the interiors reflect soothing natural tones with open living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outdoors in, while the sound of waves provides a constant soundtrack of tranquility.
Food and Drink
The Residence Maldives Dhigurah offers diverse culinary offerings spread across multiple restaurants and bars. Guests enjoy the added advantage of dining at both Dhigurah and neighboring Falhumaafushi, with seamless access to all venues.
While ‘The Dining Room’ serves Asian and Indian Ocean flavours all day, at ‘Li Bai’ you can enjoy the authentic Cantonese cuisine inspired by the famed Singaporean restaurant.
For a romantic fine dining experience, Falhumaa at the Falhumaafushi is a must visit. The fine dining over water restaurant serves authentic French flavors with the breathtaking views of the ocean.
However, if you are looking for bespoke experiences, the resort organises private dinners on the beach, sandbank picnics, and breakfast served on a floating tray in the villa’s pool as the sun rises.
