Hotels in Nalaguraidhoo

"This is a rare find and we felt very privileged to stay here. The island is a locals island and felt like a real Maldivian experience. As advertised, you can dive 3 times each day which is amazing. The staff are all incredibly lovely and kind. The rooms are perfect for what you need with air con and good Wi-Fi. The food was plentiful and really tasty. If you’re up for an adventure and don’t feel the need for a polished version of the Maldives then this is the place to be. Cultural appropriation is important here and you won’t be sipping beers in the evening but you definitely won’t be disappointed. My 14yr old daughter was taught to dive and given the opportunity to do her PADI course whilst there with the very experienced Midhoo who was was awesome. We are truly grateful. Take some local currency and mosquito repellent !"

"Excellent resort"

"Great location for a truly quite vacation "

"One of the best "

"Lux* South Ari is a great choice for a vacation in the Maldives. The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. "

"really nice place for my honeymoon"

"Excellent snorkling and scuba diving in the house reef."

"Modern, beautiful property designed with intention for detail. Located in a quiet, yet central area. Outstanding breakfast and solid dinner/lunch options, on par with the best restaurants on the island. Stellar staff that provide great service throughout. Laundry service, bike/scooter rental & snorkling gear is available aswell. Hotel also arranged transfers and trips including drop off and pickup from the Harbor. Rooms were always perfectly clean. Only complaint we had during our entire stay, was the absolutely awful dessert in the restaurant, but if you stay away from that you will have the best possible stay on Dhigurah."

"Our stay had highs and lows. The best part was the incredible staff - always friendly and helpful. The hotel was also spotless, thanks to the amazing cleaner. Another highlight was its location, just steps from Bikini Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful shoreline. However, there were several issues. We booked a room with a balcony and sea view but got a small window facing a brick wall. Management first denied the mistake, then blamed Expedia, despite Expedia confirming the hotel controlled the listing. The hotel refused to take responsibility or offer compensation. The bathroom had a persistent drain smell, which returned every time we used the shower. With no balcony or large window, airing it out was impossible. Breakfast was meant to be European-style but was a strange mix of foods—though you could order an omelette. Many excursions were cancelled due to low sign-ups. The whale shark trip, advertised as exclusive for hotel guests, was shared with 16 others from different hotels, some of whom paid less than we did. It lasted seven hours instead of four, with no proper food provided. The house reef excursion was lovely, but guides seemed more focused on filming for social media than helping guests. While the staff were fantastic, management lacked accountability. With better organisation, this hotel could be amazing."

"What a lovely guesthouse in Dhigurah. We spent 6 nights here and tbh we could stay here forever. Felt right at home from the start. Haseef and his crew were so friendly and Abel to organise trips and rides for us. I enjoyed the traditional Maldivian brekkie but only had it once because my wife don't eat eggs or tuna so we tended to have coffee and biscuits in the room. The area is very safe, it's close to the local Mosque so you will hear the prayers daily but we didn't mind that as it's part of their culture and we found it quite grounding. The guesthouse is in the village part so lots of locals living around you but everyone just goes on about their own business anyway. The room was always clean and although simple ie no TV, we didn't mind as spent more time either on the beach (2 mins walk right as you leave the guesthouse), on excursions or asleep. Highly recommend this place and absolutely would love to come.back. Maldivians are extremely laid-back so don't expect lots of contact beforehand to arrange transfers, I have OCD and must of sent a dozen emails and text messages lol."

"Beautiful property but the staff and service was excellent, Jerry looked after us and will give him 5 stars, when we were not happy with pictures the photographer took, Jerry to us to some beautiful place and took excellent pictures all on his own, Jerry 👏👏👏💯"

"Our place for a complete vacation. We thank the entire team for the exceptional service and amenities provided We will miss you!!"

"My wife had an amazing stay, we can highly suggest this hotel. The staff are great, location is perfect with a "Tourist/Bikini" beach just nearby along with some nice reefs to snorkel. They also have loungers at the beach for you. Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear is available for free as well. We did the Whale Shark excursion and the pricing was good. The whale sharks were amazing to see but be ready for some crowds. If you plan to stay on Fenfushi this is the best and only place you should look to stay at. If I had to give any negatives it would be the wifi and kitchen. Wifi in the rooms is iffy but in the lobby it was great. The kitchen staff is a bit slow even though you set a specific time to eat, but the food was great when it came out. Bring snacks as the island only has 1 little local shop and they dont have much. And the only place to eat is at the hotel so snacks are nice to have."

"Ok property"
