As we continue to enhance the guest experience, we would like to inform you that work will begin on converting a selection of our sunrise & sunset beach villas into pool villas.

This short term project will commence from 1 October and will be completed by 15 December. The project will be undertaken in specific sections so as to minimize any disruption to our guests and will involve light excavation work.

Once completed, we look forward to being able to offer our guests a wider choice of room selection as we add a new 5.8m pool.

For more information and reservations, please do not hesitate to contact us at tel +960 664 4111 or email reservations.maldives@anantara.com.

Ocean Transition

For something a little more challenging, nearby break “Nonyas” offers long peeling, rides with easy, mellow take-offs. This is the perfect spot to hone your newfound skills and is considered by many surfers to be their nirvana.

Ticket to Ride

Further afield, “Boatyards”, a surf break just ten minutes away from Anantara Dhigu, is a perfect left that is extremely hollow, providing some of the best waves in the Maldives. Pick one with a nice roll in section and set up your line for what could be the wave of your life.

Surfing Season

Surfing Season

Tropicsurf operates at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort year round. However, April to October is considered the surf season in the Maldives. Swell size in the off-season months may vary and won’t be ideal for a serious surfing vacation. As surf season starts, the swell direction changes and swell size and consistency normally increases. Waves are usually chest-high and may reach to a little overhead.
