The Residence Dhigurah

Dual Island at The Residence

The Residence Dhigurah opened it doors to the public in June 2019. It is about 55mins domestic flight from Maldives’ international airport. It is situated at almost the end of Maldives; you can imagine the domestic flight to be very scenic. There will be a short wait at the airport lounge before embarking on the domestic flight. The Residence Dhigurah has a sister island and its situated at Gaafu Atoll too – The Residence Falhumaafushi. In fact the two resorts are linked via a bridge forming one of the biggest island offering in Maldives. As a customer, you can stay in both island (split island stay) and take advantage of the facilities in the 2 islands.

Pool, pool pool

The Residence Dhigurah is a “all private pool” villas resort. The whole island spans about 2km long and gives privacy to all guests on the island. It has 173 beautiful villas and each of them are crafted from the finest material. Design of the villas are with modern feel and luxurious look. We have the chance to visit The Residence Dhigurah in June 2019. We were in awe of the design. It is modern and sleek. Villas are reasonably spacious and all the villas comes with a private pool. The private pools are huge ! Dhigurah shares the same housereef with its sister island and its is beautiful. We saw baby sharks and even turtles.

There are many array of dining option in The Residence Maldives. A notable mention is Li Bai restaurant. The resort go to the extent to invite the chef from Singapore’s Li Bai’s resturant to take the helm at The Residence island. It serves refined Cantonese cuisine. The Dining Room (present in both island) is a more relaxed, all-day affair. There are other specialty restaurants like Cafe del sol in the beach club, long island etc that serve light snacks, drinks etc.
