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."

10/10 Excellent
"An exceptional experience! My wife and I visited for an 8 night stay. Due to my member status, we were upgraded to a sunset overwater villa. A dream location within the property! Exquisite breakfast, excellent water activities (we went scuba diving everyday), attentive staff, well kept grounds, efficient buggy service (this was a great amenity as walking to/from the villas under the sun can be daunting), peaceful environment, and much more. I would say it’s rather expensive, but the logistics of being in a remote island justifies the premium one pays. Loved the happy hour. This was an anniversary celebration and we were received with a bottle of wine and thoughtful event details in our bungalow. Seaplane transfers were less expensive than other hotel options. We already booked another stay for next year. A beautiful memory to cherish."

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!"
