Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort provides the perfect setting for your once-in-a-lifetime romantic escape to the Maldives. The endless turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean surround this island paradise, where you can relax and unwind in luxurious surroundings. Eco-conscious honeymooners can join the resort’s coral reef adoption program, to help regenerate and preserve the surrounding underwater tropical wonderland.
Guest rooms and villas have views of the open water or the lagoon, and you can take your pick of a sunrise or sunset view. You can live out your tropical island dreams in a thatched-roof villa built on stilts over the water, with a private sun terrace and your own ladder leading to the crystal clear waters below. Hardwood and rattan decor highlight the luxurious feel, and floor to ceiling glass windows let you enjoy the view any time of the day or night. Rain showers and outdoor baths are both practical and luxurious ways to cool down and refresh.
Dining choices include a variety of local and international cuisines. Poolside bars serve drinks, snacks and small meals all day, and all meals can be served in-suite or in-villa. Wine tastings and pairings add to the sophisticated ambience.
For a special romantic dinner, ask for a setting on the beach or take a sailing trip to a deserted island. If you want to take home the flavors, join the cooking classes at Spice Spoons. You’ll learn to make spicy Thai and Maldivian dishes like tuna curry and tom yum goong.
Onsite, you can enjoy water sports like surfing, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving. Bicycles are provided to get around and explore the island. The spa offers a full range of treatments and massage, as well as a sauna and yoga and fitness classes. Island hopping is a Maldives tradition and you can make a day trip to a private island, or head out for dinner to nearby resorts or the capital, Male.
