"Booked with South Ari Dive, who were a fantastic dive centre with everything needed for a perfect diving holiday. Great friendly service, superb value and local dive site knowledge. They took us snorkelling with Mantas during our surface intervals which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience The accommodation is in a local guest house (not at the dive centre but 2 mins walk away). We stayed at Manta which was basic but pleasant and comfortable. Recommend B&B basis as the restaurants on Dhangethi...

Villa Park Sun Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Maldives can’t get better this resort exceeded out expectations and they made our honeymoon stay unbothered and unforgettable, starting from so many activities we spend 7 days couldn’t do everything, we changed 3 room types and they made the transfer extremely useful, one thing we have noticed by the end of out trip that they have there own farm for meet, fruits and vegetables food we very clean and have so many varieties, water villas was nice but out dated and need some care, beach villa with private pool right on the ocean was incredible amazing and highly recommended, thank you Villa park."

Lonuhiri at Dhigurah

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional hotel with the friendliest of staff from the ones that greet you initially with a cool towel and a drink all the way to the staff on reception and those who clean the rooms. The hotel is ran fantastically. The rooms were beautiful especially the sea view deluxe triple with a bath! The hotel couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. If you are going to Dhigurah stay here."

LUX* South Ari Atoll

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel. Staff are always amazing and attentive. Very friendly. So helpful. There nothing they won’t do if it’s possible. So child friendly. Rooms are lovely. Spacious and clean. Activities and food are great."

Angaga Island Resort & Spa

"Very small island. Not much variety in food choices. Almost same menu everyday. Mostly German tourists come here. Good diving and snorkeling spots all around. Difficult to get hot water for shower. Would not visit again."

Dive and Sleep - All Inclusive Diving Guesthouse - 3 Dives per day

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Dive and Sleep and would highly recommend it to all divers. Nothing was too much trouble for Jarda and the team and they made it a stress free and memorable trip. The rooms were clean, modern, had great bathrooms and cold air con. The chefs cooked 3 delicious and healthy meals a day with enough food to fuel and sustain the 3 dives a day. Self serve access to as much water, soft drink, tea and coffee as you please. The covered communal / dining area was a great space to relax and chat with other divers. There is also sunscreen and insect spray (a few mosquitoes but not too bad). The local island feels really safe and the locals are very friendly. It a very sleepy island with limited facilities (there is a small shop and pharmacy). The island has amazing sunset spots and a great house reef for snorkeling. Finally, the diving was fantastic with a diverse range of dive sites and marine life. 3 dives a day (2 morning, 1 afternoon) with enough time to relax and recover afterwards. Water temperature was warm enough in February that we could dive in shorts and a rashie (28-29 Celsius). All equipment we hired was in good condition. It’s great value for money and Jarda is a fantastic host. We will definitely return!"
