Paradise Found is a welcoming hotel on Dhigurah, the "Long Island" of South Ari Atoll, just a short stroll from Dhigurah North West Beach. Guests are greeted by warm island hospitality, attentive staff and a relaxed bar, all wrapped in the easy charm of local Maldivian life. Praised by families and couples alike for its friendly service and delicious food, it is a comfortable base for exploring one of the Maldives' most beautiful islands. Dhigurah's powdery white beaches, glassy lagoon and long sandbank sit right on the doorstep, alongside year round chances to swim with whale sharks and manta rays. Paradise Found offers a genuine, affordable Maldivian escape without compromising on comfort or care.
Paradise Found sits in the village on the northern end of Dhigurah, a long, slender island in South Ari Atoll, about 96 km from Velana International Airport. The hotel is only a few steps from Dhigurah North West Beach, and the island's cafés, shops and dive centres are all within easy reach. Stretching around 3 km in length and only a few hundred metres wide, Dhigurah is home to roughly 600 friendly islanders and is famed for beaches that were named among the world's 50 best in 2017. Its turquoise lagoon, dramatic southern sandbank and vibrant house reef make it one of the top places in the Maldives to swim with whale sharks and manta rays.
Dining at Paradise Found is a warm, homely affair, with a chef whose cooking guests love to praise. Start your mornings with a complimentary breakfast before heading out for a day of island adventures, then return to freshly prepared meals with a taste of authentic Maldivian flavours.
