Amazing host, amazing diving

Reviewed By 522lisatye

We had the best time staying with Mazin at Noovilu Suites. Noovilu means blue lagoon and there are lots of those right near by. The ocean activities were magical. One of the best places in the world for diving. Mazin is a host who truly wants you to leave loving his island as much as he does. He really cares that you would want to return. I very highly recommend Noovilu.

Amazing guest house and excellent service

Reviewed By iset_87

We booked directly with the guest house the accommodation, meals and diving package. They organised the transport from the airport as well which is was great. Our suitcases were lost on arrival but they helped us a lot to make sure we could get everything we needed to enjoy our holidays which it is not easy in an island that has limited shops. Thanks to them our suitcases were finally delivered to the guest house. The room had everything we needed

Boutique Beach All-inclusive Diving Hotel

Boutique Beach is designed, built and run by Romney Drury, a British diver, who loved this area so much, she gave up her job in the UK to be able to offer divers a wonderful experience for a much more economical price than previously possible in resort diving. The hotel offers 6 spacious, private rooms, 1 main restaurant and 1 roof top restaurant along with a very own Diving center with NITROX and whole range of excursions and opportunities to enjoy the natural Maldivian environment. Boutique Beach is located on Dhigurah which is in the famous whale shark area in the south Ari Atoll. The British Whale Shark conservation group, who are also based on Dhigurah, have recorded 268 whale sharks in our area, of which only 8 are female. Average length is 5.92m which makes them "teenagers." The whale sharks are there all year around, but some weather conditions makes them harder to spot. Mantas regularly feed in our lagoon as well as the famous cleaning station at Rangali which within easy reach. There are 15 deep reefs or Thilas in between Dhigurah and the next island. The famous Kudarah Thila is just 10 minutes away. Our PADI Dive Team will be happy to show you the best diving in the Maldives. We have a PADI instructor and a dive guide available on board together with a speedboat for smaller groups and further dive destinations. Our Dive center is the only place on the island where we have NITROX available.

Awesome Honeymoon Dive Trip! Once in a lifetime experience!

Reviewed By D5938HVjustinl

My wife and I went to Maldives a few weeks ago for our Honeymoon and stayed at Boutique Beach All Inclusive Dive hotel.  This place is awesome and perfectly caters to divers.  As other reviews suggest, the staff was very friendly and accommodating.  The facilities were small compared to other resorts, but very well maintained.  It almost felt like a small apartment, but fully furnished with dining area on the first floor.   All meals are prepared for the guests and lunch is prepared for the boat if dive schedule doesn’t allow a return back to hotel for lunch.  All gears are handled by the staff from the time you check in until you check out.  Gears are setup for you in the boat each day and rinsed/dried by your checkout date.  The dive boat is very big and you can spread out comfortably without having to sit too close to other.  The dive sites are picked out the day before and divers are briefed the night before.  The staff also puts together a video from the clips gathered from each divers during the dives, which is a nice treat.   The rooms seem a little small at first, but you only use it to sleep after a full day of dives so a non issue.  The restroom has no ceiling and opens up for you to see the clouds.  The setup is really nice except for the mosquitoes that will prey on you during your stay.   The island (Dhigurah) the hotel I son is one of the farthest from Male so it’s an extra long trip, but well worth it.  The cost is reasonable and the dive sites around the island are amazing.  We were fortunate enough to see multiple whale sharks, manata rays, along with other marine life we don’t’ get to see back home (Los Angeles).   Lastly, I can’t say enough great things about the entire staff.  Every single staff made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and memerable.  Special thanks for Seb (instructor) for making all the dives enjoyable, Saeed (Dining Staff) for always greeting us with smile and fresh juice at every meal, and Shoag (Boat Hand), who’s playful gestures made our boat rides more enjoyable.

Great holiday in a great location

Reviewed By Kenga98

We were lucky enough to spend part of our holiday in the Maldives at this hotel. The location of the hotel is very good: its own beach with a convenient entrance to the water, there is a beautiful reef close to the shore. The hotel has a small but well-groomed territory with an excellent layout, a restaurant with a view not only of the ocean, but also with a view of sharks, rays and other marine life that regularly swim up to the shore in the evenings. Snorkeling on the reef deserves special words of admiration. We were able to observe the life of the reef in all its diversity both during the day and at night. The hotel also organizes trips to various excursions. We took snorkeling with manta rays and are still impressed by this trip. The hotel restaurant has very good food. They cook here professionally and with attention to the hotel guests. In general, the most important advantage of the hotel is its highly professional staff, ready to provide the hotel guests with an excellent, hassle-free vacation.

Dhiguveli Maldives

We are located in Dhigurah (meaning The Long Island) in South Ari Atoll, famous for it's lovely frequent visitors; whale sharks, mantas and sea turtles through out the year. Dhiguveli Maldives is a place you come to relax and experience meaningful moments somewhere you feel welcomed and truly belong.

An unforgettable trip

Reviewed By AndreafromPrague007

Dhiguveli Maldives is a comfortable, clean, and low-key accommodation on the beautiful island of Dhigurah. Located only a few meters from the 3 km long beach, it takes no more than 3 minutes to get to the bikini part of the beach where you can swim, relax, and take in the gorgeous view. There are several spots on the island where the coral is very nice - we saw many turtles and fish. One of the main things the island is famous for are whale shark excursions, but sadly we didn't see one. Instead, we did some snorkeling. A must-see is the island's long sandbank where our family spent the afternoons. The hotel has an amazing rooftop restaurant with great food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Overall, it is the perfect place to travel to as you won't ever forget about it.
