Gaafu Alifu Atoll

The Residence Maldives Dhigurah

An elegant all-villa retreat where exceptional privacy, beautiful lagoons and authentic island charm create one of the Maldives’ most serene luxury escapes.

Located on Dhigurah Island in Gaafu Alifu Atoll (North Huvadhoo Atoll), The Residence Maldives Dhigurah occupies a spectacular private island surrounded by crystal-clear lagoons, powder-soft beaches and thriving coral reefs. Gaafu Alifu Atoll is one of the largest and least developed atolls in the Maldives, celebrated for its untouched reefs, remarkable marine biodiversity and sense of remoteness.

Guests arrive via a 55-minute domestic flight from Velana International Airport to Kooddoo Airport, followed by a short speedboat transfer of approximately 7 minutes. The island’s secluded setting, natural beauty and understated elegance create an atmosphere that feels peaceful, exclusive and deeply connected to the authentic Maldives.
