The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay at Anantara Dhigu, the dining options exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed the dinner at Sea Fire Salt, which allowed us to savor delicious meals while watching the fish and reef sharks swim by. The Italian restaurant was also a highlight, with excellent service and a fantastic atmosphere. The breakfast buffet at Fushi Cafe was excellent, featuring a wide array of options that catered to every palate.

Relaxing Spa Retreat

I had a rejuvenating experience at the spa during my visit. The treatments were really good, and I particularly enjoyed the combination of a Thai massage while overlooking the stunning lagoon. What made it even better was that they welcomed families, allowing my child to enjoy a chocolate massage at the same time. The whole experience felt luxurious and unique.

Very nice Overwater Villa

Our overwater villa was splendid! Spacious with an outdoor bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub, the villa provided an lovely stay. The view of the ocean was amazing, and the thoughtful touches, including intricately folded towels and fresh flowers, made it feel like a true paradise. It was our very own piece of heaven over the water.

Kid-Friendly Activities Galore

Traveling with my children was a breeze thanks to Anantara Dhigu's excellent children's amenities. The kids club had numerous engaging activities that kept them entertained, allowing my husband and me some much-needed relaxation time. They loved the beach activities and the creative sessions like t-shirt painting, and it was good to see them enjoying their holiday.

Our stay at the resort was mostly delightful, featuring beautiful beach villas and exceptional service that made our family vacation memorable. The views from our sunrise side villa were stunning, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. However, the breakfast options fell short of expectations and some facilities showed signs of wear. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a family getaway, but there's room for improvement, especially regarding dining choices and facility upkeep.

A few minor disappointments included the tennis court being on a different island and the limited dining options that didn't quite meet the expectations for a resort of this caliber.
