Dhigu Island beach
Maldives is a secluded paradise on the edge of the world, where no one will disturb you. Someone goes here for drive and adrenaline (the Islands have excellent conditions for diving), and someone come here for peace and tranquility. You can hardly live like a savage here, as there is usually only one resort on one island. And all the territory of the island belongs to this resort. In particular, such a hotel is Anantara Dhiguon Dhigu Island, with a well-equipped beach, surface bungalows and coconut trees, it's like a Bounty bumper.

Beach description
The resort is located on Kaafu atoll, just a 35-minute boat ride from Male airport. It's the perfect place for a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. There are swimming pools, smoothly passing into the open ocean, and excellent surf, suitable for surfers of different levels. Dolphins splash near the shore. You can rent a yacht to see them or even swim with them.
In general, the weather favors vacationers, except for the rainy season. Ocean is calm and warm. There are no strong winds and rains. There is a lush vegetation and a exhilarating tropical air with the incomparable aroma.
As for the beach conditions, they are like in a fairy tale: the gentle sandy beach, which goes deep into the ocean for hundreds of meters, crystal clear water and warm rays of the sun, the absence of strong waves and currents in the lagoon. All this contributed to the fact that Dhigu Island has become one of the most popular Islands of the Maldives.
When is the best time to go?
Maldives – is an equatorial country with a tropical climate, where the weather is always warm at + 27-30ºС. But the islands have some seasonal features. From mid-April to the end of October it often rains here. The dry season lasts from November till April. At this time, the initially clear sea becomes completely transparent, and the sun illuminates in the sky 12 hours a day.
Important: A large amount of plankton is collected in October and November off the coast, which is why the ocean takes on a slightly unclear hue. On the other side – plankton illuminates the sea at night, creating an indescribable picture. At this time, coastal waters are filled with stingrays – fabulously fascinating creatures that are in no way inferior to the dolphins.

Infrastructure
All infrastructure on the island belongs to a 5-star resort Anantara Dhigu. Interestingly, its territory occupies not one, but three Islands. There are Anantara Digu, Anantara Veli and the private island of Naladhu, which are located in the same lagoon. Each guest of the hotel has its own villa with a bath inside the house, as well as on the outdoor. It is a mini-pool for two, where you can see off the sunset to the sound of glasses of champagne. Guests can also take an outdoor shower overlooking the ocean to the singing of tropical birds.
You can go kayaking by choosing a boat for two, one or a group of people. And if you want to get the most emotions - order a glass kayak with a transparent bottom! Bring a snorkel, so you can explore the lagoon under the water. Passing shoals of colorful tropical fish and even small sharks is a kind of cliche for the Maldives, but how beautiful it is!
There is a dive center Aquafanatics on the island, which offers services for divers with different levels of training. Anantara is also one of the place in the Maldives for tropical surfing, so the guru team will be happy to take you to the waves, even if it is your first time on a surfboard.
