Anantara Dhigu is located in South Malé Atoll, Maldives, opened on August 1, 2006. Anantara has 3 islands: Dhigu, Veli, and Naladhu Private Island. Dhigu is the largest island, with garden view, ocean view, and overwater villas. Veli Island does not allow children, so it is called Honeymoon Island, with only water villas. Naladhu Private Island is for the rich and beautiful, with high prices. Chinese make up 20%~30% of the island; Europeans, Americans, and Arabs are more numerous. It does not accept group tours, only individual tourists, and controls the proportion of Chinese.
Three islands of the same group (Dhigu, Veli, Naladhu) are together; Dhigu and Veli guests can visit each other. Hotel facilities are first-class; SPA is one of the features. The island level is five-star. The island has rich activities; few Chinese choose this island. The most amazing thing is the island's super lagoon scenery, absolutely top-level in the Maldives; friends who like lagoons should not miss it.
Guests from Veli and Dhigu can visit each other's islands. The beaches, service, and room facilities are all quite good. Of course, as a Thai hotel group, SPA is also a feature.
Prices are relatively high when there are no promotions; water activities are also slightly expensive.
