Dhigali's encompassing house reef encircles the island, extending approximately four metres from the beach and descending to depths of around 35 metres. Diving enthusiasts can expect encounters with diverse marine life, including vast schools of fish and a vibrant array of corals. The reef is frequented by tuna, eagle rays, and black tip reef sharks, offering an exciting underwater experience. Divers also have the opportunity to embark on boat excursions to explore small caves, where sightings of turtles, lionfish, manta rays, and sharks await.

Avoiding traditionally thatched Maldivian villas in favour of something altogether more modern, the rooms at Dhigali were designed to be more environmentally friendly - they're well insulated and require less energy to cool. Style-wise, the bungalows and villas have the feel of contemporary residential apartments but with the bonus of sensational views. Beach Bungalows and Beach Villas are just steps from the shore while Water Villas sit on stilts close to the colourful house reef. Lagoon Villas with Pool are also on stilts with views across the calm lagoon
