Boutique Beach All Inclusive Diving Hotel

The Dhigurah Boutique Beach Hotel is an amazing place : family style because it is small (6 to 8 rooms I think) and they treat you as family. Everything is well thought and organized for the guests to feel good. They take you to the boat in the morning where all the diving material is waiting for you. The diving is great (we saw mantas and whale sharks !!). Tea and coffee is served on the boat and the crew and diving team is especially nice to their guests. In the evenings there are presentations on the fish you've seen in the morning and every day they upload on YouTube a short movie of the dives of the day ! It's a very quiet and nice place to stay if you want a nice experience of real Maldives away from the big resorts. Dhigurah is an island with a village where Maldivian people live. The hotel is very comfortable and nicely decorated, all the staff is very friendly. Thanks again we had a great time 😍

This is our second time at Boutique Beach doing a dive/snorkel package. Last time (a year ago) we stayed at BB and then another resort on another local island. This year we again flew half way around the world, but elected to spend the entire 2 weeks at BB, because we loved it so much last time! There are a lot of reasons why Boutique Beach is a great choice, why it has so many 5 star reviews, and why so many of the guests are repeat customers: The staff: The staff really makes it here. Everybody is very friendly, efficient and easy going and everybody works well together. The entire staff was the exact same as the previous year except with one additional divemaster. Ease and transparency of booking. All you have to do is arrange your flights to the Maldives, and BB takes care of the rest - including booking your inter-island Seaplane, Island hopper flight, or speedboat, and the price gets included in your package. There are no hidden fees or upsells unless you sign up for a class or request special equipment beyond the ordinary - what you see on the package is what you pay. All aspects of the operation (Booking, room and facility services, food, and the dive operation) are run like a well oiled machine, yet handled with a laid back and friendly atmosphere. The dive crew is extremely safe and efficient, but also helpful and friendly. Some operations seem to either have an attitude of either drill seargeants or laisseze faire, but they have a great balance here. The dive equipment is in great shape and the dive crew takes care of everything that is left on the boat, including any personal dive skins/ wetsuits or other equipment left on the boat so you don’t have to bring back a bunch of wet stuff and try to dry it out in your room. They don’t always just go to the closest sites, they’ll spend the fuel to motor across the entire atoll if there is a possibility of seeing something that’s been rumored to have been seen in that area. Dives obviously aren’t planned a week ahead of time and put on a schedule, they seem to be planned only days or a day ahead of time based on weather and what other boats have reported so they are always mixed up with different things. The boat really is a perfect dive boat. It’s a large boat with tons of shade and cover for rain, wind, and splashing. It’s super stable and outfitted with everything needed for a long day, and there is tons of space even when full, so you don’t ever feel like you can’t wait to get back to shore. They really really really go out of their way to find mantas, dolphins, and whale sharks, so you never know when (before or after a day of diving) they’ll take the long way out or home to find our large spotty friends. The food is absolutely delicious, and served buffet style, so it’s not over the top fancy, just incredibly delicious and you get as much as you want. One of the things we were really looking forward to for this repeat trip was the delicious food and once again, C

This is an amazing dive resort. With top notch diving that is very safe and wonderful. The beds are exceptional here and the Chef Shanti made meals that we will be dreaming of for the rest of our lives. Saeed was very attentive and helpful and Lucinda was one of the best dive guides ever! Shout out to Dylan for assisting us when we had equipment trouble with our gear by loaning us gear from the resort. I cannot say how awesome Mette was with both video editing and ensuring our plans to and from the island went smoothly. Can was very educational on the local ocean life as well. Love that this is a small hotel that felt like a family to us in no time. Will be back here as soon as we can afford the airfare again from Ca. I love that this place is eco smart without sacrificing comfort of the guests. Shout out to Romney for this awesome place!
