Anantara Dighu is a gorgeous resort on what may be one of the most serene beaches in the world. The over-water villas are better than a dream. Every morning, I couldn't believe my eyes at the gorgeous view. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They responded instantly to any issues and were very generous with their time. The rooms were cleaned regularly and the housekeeping even made up a lovely bath for us several times when we came back from breakfast. Speaking of which, the options for breakfast are terrific. Perhaps our fave meal because you get so many options and the fresh fruit and juice each morning was something we really looked forward to. The cooking class was excellent and the results even better. Shout out to Dinesh (manager of F&B), Arai and Modjo as being the most helpful (even though every single staff member is friendly and helpful). In particular, Andy Nightingale (marketing manager for all hotels) was the absolute BEST. We wouldn't have been able to come during COVID if it wasn't for him. He made it happen, especially with all the airline changes we had to endure, he really wanted to be sure we got to experience this trip. I would highly recommend working with Andy. Also, during COVID, this felt like the safest place in the world. Literally.

maldives is our favourite destination and we visit it every couple of years- and our stay at Anantara was hands down the best experience ever!
The entire staff ensured that our stay was more than just comfortable and went out of their way to ensure it, right from the moment we arrived.
Special mention to Fayaz, who paved the way for our elderly parents to enjoy delicious simple home cooked Indian- Asian meals every single day. Chef Mohammed at the poolside, Chef Sandeep at 73 degrees effortlessly whipped up meals outside the menus that were absolutely sublime! Nang, York, Mr Z, Ali and
The entire staff needs to be acknowledged- every department excels and makes your stay in this paradise truly memorable and special!
