Lovely place, helpful staff, wonderful views and crystal water

Where to even begin… our stay at Whale Shark Beach is one we will not forget. The staff were so accommodating and friendly for our entire stay. They always welcomed us back from our excursions or just afternoons out on the beach and always wanted to know what we had done that day. The food was immaculate and we ended up eating at the hotel every night so we could keep trying things off the menu. The rooftop dining area is especially lovely, it’s nice to be able to see the stars during the evening. The excursions team were absolutely incredible. We saw dolphins, turtles, various reefs and had an unforgettable experience swimming with manta rays. The team were also incredibly generous and allowed us to join two additional manta ray and whale shark trips for no additional cost after we had not seen them initially. The boat was well equipped and the team were incredibly focussed on guest safety in the water as well as enjoyment. Another key thing that we applaud the excursions team on is ensuring the safety and well being of the wild animals we saw whilst out on the sea. The boat engine was immediately turned off as soon as we saw dolphins and they kept a good distance away instead of chasing and harassing the animals. Additionally, prior to one of our whale shark tours we were briefed on how to swim with the animal safely and were reminded that if anyone tried to touch or swim to close to the animal they would be removed from the water. As someone who works in marine animal conservation, I applaud the team at Whale Shark Beach for putting the animals first and ensuring that both them and the guests could have a safe and enjoyable experience. The room was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’d ever slept in and very spacious. The television also had smart options available to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime which was a big bonus.

EVERYTHING. The stuff is extremely polite and friendly, helped us a lot with every question. We enjoyed the stay. The rooms are simple but very very clean. The ISLAND IS GORGEOUS. We were choosing it among all and it is one of the rarest that has all plusses together: long sand bank, beautiful snorkeling, diving with the whale sharks (we saw them) and with mantas (we were lack of time to do both). The island has some constructions, but it doesn't bother much). To reach the island was easy coz everything was very organized. So, we are very happy with our choice. Went after this to the Resort (Centara Ras Fushi), was also good. The best is to combine local island and resort to fulfill the whole trip with great and various emotions. For Dhigura island I would make 3 days (we had only 2) and for resort 3 would be also enough.

We stayed for 7 nights with all meals included. Food, friendly and helpful staff Many thanks to Shaheen, Fairuz, the chef, Abdullah and Ahmed for their kindness. Shaheen, the manager, was very helpful in giving us tips for exploring the island. Fairuz also helped us to discover the Maldivian culture, to talk about football and other rich and constructive conversations. The food was very delicious thanks to the chef and Fairuz. The room is clean, the bathroom is large and clean.

Oh it was really perfect stay. Great location to just relax. Guys there are truly amazing and helpful. Eager to help. While I was staying the hotel was new and alive. I certainly can recommend to stay here.

Areef was super helpful with everything and he made sure everything was perfect. Rooms and everything looked exactly like in the photos and everything is in good condition including the shower AC and everything else. I only wanted to eat passionfruit and watermelon in the mornings because I went diving everyday early in the morning and had to leave around 6.50. I extended my stay here by 2 more nights and I would definitely recommend going here, even though it's not the cheapest on the island, you will get the quality in return.

Wonderful hotel the rooms are sparkly clean and comfortable the restaurant food was delicious and the staff is amazing! they organized all the tours with Mr Ali and we had the time of our life! The pool after a long day of exploring is definitely a bonus! We felt very welcome and I definitely recommend to stay at this hotel in this beautiful island!

It’s a brand new hotel with excellent facilities. The welcome-coconut is a very nice treat. The room was spotless, the bed is very, very comfy. Excellent WiFi. I really enjoyed the maldivian breakfast. The manager Ahusan and Mifzaal were always attentive, helpful and answered all my questions. They organized trips and transportation, also everything what I was asking for. It’s a short walk or bike ride to the excellent beach. Restaurants are also nearby. I spent a very relaxing time there. I also learned a lot of Maldivian culture. The complementary snorkeling tour plus the maldivian culture-afternoon was one of the highlights in dhigurah.

The traditional Maldivian breakfast was so good and staffs were very helpful.Thank you for your kind assistance and see you again.
