Boutique Beach All Inclusive Diving Hotel

We were delayed for a day arriving due to our Airline. From the word go, all the staff tried to make up for that day, even though it was nothing to do with them. The food is excellent and the staff extremely friendly and attentive. Mete, Dylan and Cam took excellent care of us under the water too. The hotel is right on to a lovely beach. They even gave us a candle light dinner on the beach for our last night. 10 out of 10 for service.

There are beautiful vacations, very beautiful and perfect ... the vacation at the Boutique Beach Hotel on Dhigurah was even better than perfect. Hostesses Romney, Mette and Afzah and the entire team in the kitchen, in service and the excellent diving team around Seb and Captain Ibrahim were far beyond all expectations. As a family, we successfully completed three PADI certifications and had wonderful diving experiences with whale sharks, manta rays, reef sharks, moray eels, dolphins and countless other creatures. The chance encounters with the other hotel guests were, without exception, exceptionally nice and very enriching. All in all, the perfect diving vacation with a super professional, very prudent and well-organized hotel and diving team with a very personal and familiar character.

This is an amazing dive resort. With top notch diving that is very safe and wonderful. The beds are exceptional here and the Chef Shanti made meals that we will be dreaming of for the rest of our lives. Saeed was very attentive and helpful and Lucinda was one of the best dive guides ever! Shout out to Dylan for assisting us when we had equipment trouble with our gear by loaning us gear from the resort. I cannot say how awesome Mette was with both video editing and ensuring our plans to and from the island went smoothly. Can was very educational on the local ocean life as well. Love that this is a small hotel that felt like a family to us in no time. Will be back here as soon as we can afford the airfare again from Ca. I love that this place is eco smart without sacrificing comfort of the guests. Shout out to Romney for this awesome place!

The Dhigurah Boutique Beach Hotel is an amazing place : family style because it is small (6 to 8 rooms I think) and they treat you as family. Everything is well thought and organized for the guests to feel good. They take you to the boat in the morning where all the diving material is waiting for you. The diving is great (we saw mantas and whale sharks !!). Tea and coffee is served on the boat and the crew and diving team is especially nice to their guests. In the evenings there are presentations on the fish you've seen in the morning and every day they upload on YouTube a short movie of the dives of the day ! It's a very quiet and nice place to stay if you want a nice experience of real Maldives away from the big resorts. Dhigurah is an island with a village where Maldivian people live. The hotel is very comfortable and nicely decorated, all the staff is very friendly. Thanks again we had a great time

This is our second time at Boutique Beach doing a dive/snorkel package. Last time (a year ago) we stayed at BB and then another resort on another local island. This year we again flew half way around the world, but elected to spend the entire 2 weeks at BB, because we loved it so much last time! There are a lot of reasons why Boutique Beach is a great choice, why it has so many 5 star reviews, and why so many of the guests are repeat customers: The staff: The staff really makes it here. Everybody is very friendly, efficient and easy going and everybody works well together. The entire staff was the exact same as the previous year except with one additional divemaster. Ease and transparency of booking. All you have to do is arrange your flights to the Maldives, and BB takes care of the rest - including booking your inter-island Seaplane, Island hopper flight, or speedboat, and the price gets included in your package. There are no hidden fees or upsells unless you sign up for a class or request special equipment beyond the ordinary - what you see on the package is what you pay. All aspects of the operation (Booking, room and facility services, food, and the dive operation) are run like a well oiled machine, yet handled with a laid back and friendly atmosphere. The dive crew is extremely safe and efficient, but also helpful and friendly. Some operations seem to either have an attitude of either drill seargeants or laisseze faire, but they have a great balance here. The dive equipment is in great shape and the dive crew takes care of everything that is left on the boat, including any personal dive skins/ wetsuits or other equipment left on the boat so you don’t have to bring back a bunch of wet stuff and try to dry it out in your room. They don’t always just go to the closest sites, they’ll spend the fuel to motor across the entire atoll if there is a possibility of seeing something that’s been rumored to have been seen in that area. Dives obviously aren’t planned a week ahead of time and put on a schedule, they seem to be planned only days or a day ahead of time based on weather and what other boats have reported so they are always mixed up with different things. The boat really is a perfect dive boat. It’s a large boat with tons of shade and cover for rain, wind, and splashing. It’s super stable and outfitted with everything needed for a long day, and there is tons of space even when full, so you don’t ever feel like you can’t wait to get back to shore. They really really really go out of their way to find mantas, dolphins, and whale sharks, so you never know when (before or after a day of diving) they’ll take the long way out or home to find our large spotty friends. The food is absolutely delicious, and served buffet style, so it’s not over the top fancy, just incredibly delicious and you get as much as you want. One of the things we were really looking forward to for this repeat trip was the delicious food and once again, C

If you're a diver, or want to learn to dive and you're thinking of booking Boutique Beach hotel... stop looking and book it. Every part of our experience here was outstanding, and our only regret is that we had to leave! The entire team feels like a giant family, and for a little while you get to be part of the magic of it all. As inexperienced divers, we both completed our open water certification and cannot possibly think of a better place to have done this. The hotel (and even the building design) has been set up by Romney, who is a diver herself, which so clearly shows in the vision for the whole experience. Each day there are 2 or 3 dives to different dive sites on offer. With so many different dive sites in the area, locations are chosen by the expert dive team based on conditions and what you would like to hopefully see or experience. Each night before dinner you get together for a talk on different local marine life and to watch a video edited together of the dives from that day (take a look at their YouTube!) - it's such a brilliant set-up! The dive sites themselves are beautiful, teaming with life and we saw both Manta Rays and Whale sharks during our stay, along with so much mstine life! The rooms are spotless and very comfortable, with extra well thought out amenities like beach bags and yoga mats. The food is delicious and prepared fresh, onsite, from their incredible chef. The dive boat is spacious and very comfortable, with an excellent team on board and snorkeling available to those who don't want to dive. The island and the beach just meters from the front of the hotel are also pure paradise. Thank you to the entire Boutique Beach team for making the whole experience so incredible. Special mention to Lucinda, our fabulous dive instructor - who took an anxious diving newbie and turned him into a fish - to Mette, who took a restless control freak and made her actually relax and to Saeed, for being so much fun and always keeping us guessing with the morning juice.
