Welcome to White Sand Dhigurah, a modern guest house on the beautiful local island of Dhigurah in South Ari Atoll, Maldives. Just a short walk from a stretch of soft white sand beach, this welcoming retreat blends authentic island life with comfortable stays, warm hospitality and easy access to some of the best diving in the Maldives. Guests enjoy air conditioned rooms, free WiFi, complimentary breakfast, a rooftop terrace restaurant with sunset views and a 24 hour front desk. With whale sharks, manta rays and vibrant reefs right on the doorstep, and a PADI dive centre within walking distance, it is a perfect base for divers, snorkellers, couples and families looking to experience the Maldives at its most genuine.
White Sand Dhigurah sits on Mageedhy Magu in the heart of Dhigurah, a laid back local island in South Ari Atoll (Alif Dhaal Atoll), famed for its long ribbon of white sand beach and some of the most reliable whale shark encounters in the Maldives. Guests are just a two minute stroll from the beach, close to the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme and within walking distance of a PADI 5 Star dive centre. The nearest airport is Maamigili, with easy boat transfers to the island, and airport shuttle assistance can be arranged on request. Set among swaying palms and quiet village lanes, it is a peaceful, authentic base with reefs, dive sites and turquoise lagoons all within easy reach.
Dining at White Sand Dhigurah is a highlight of every stay. The rooftop restaurant serves a flavourful mix of Western, Eastern, Asian and locally inspired dishes, made with fresh local vegetables, tropical fruit and sustainably caught seafood. Mornings begin with a generous buffet breakfast, complete with a live egg station, fresh juices, coffee and tea. Lunch is relaxed on the breezy rooftop, with favourites like beef burgers, seafood pizza and spaghetti lobster. Evenings bring the signature Dinner Under the Stars, a different buffet every night with live cooking stations where chefs prepare your meal to order. Fresh coconuts and mocktails keep you refreshed all day long.
