    We had a wonderful stay from May 27th to May 29th. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall experience was very pleasant. What truly made our stay special was the staff – they were extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout...

    Tu jeszcze jest klimat Malediwów. Cisza, spokój, natura. Niewielka wyspa z fajnymi lagunami i dżungla. A na niej klimatyczny guesthouse z niezwykłym gospodarzem.

Surrounded by powder-soft white sand, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life, this peaceful retreat is perfect for travelers seeking both relaxation and discovery. Whether you're here to snorkel with manta rays and whale sharks, soak up the sun on quiet beaches, or simply unwind in a setting that feels worlds away, Dhontakuru offers comfort, warmth, and genuine island hospitality.

Neighbourhood information

Nestled in the heart of South Ari Atoll, Dhidhdhoo offers a serene and authentic Maldivian experience, far from the bustling tourist hubs. This charming local island is a haven of tranquility, where life unfolds at a gentle pace amidst pristine white sands and the hypnotic turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. But what truly sets Dhidhdhoo apart is its unique connection to a world-renowned marine spectacle. Situated just a stone's throw away from the legendary Dhigurah, the islands share a common treasure: the world's most consistent year-round whale shark and manta ray sighting location. While Dhigurah has become famous as the "Whaleshark Island," Dhidhdhoo provides the perfect, peaceful base from which to embark on these unforgettable adventures. From our shores, you'll have easy and immediate access to the Marine Protected Area where these gentle giants congregate. Spend your days snorkeling or diving alongside these magnificent creatures, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Dhidhdhoo itself is a slice of paradise waiting to be explored. Immerse yourself in the local culture, stroll along the quiet village paths, and discover the genuine warmth of the islanders. Unwind on our secluded beaches, where the only sounds are the gentle lapping of waves and the rustling of palm trees. For those seeking an authentic and immersive Maldivian escape with a direct link to the marine wonders of South Ari Atoll, Dhidhdhoo is the ideal choice. Experience the best of both worlds: the peaceful charm of a hidden gem and the exhilarating thrill of swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, right at your doorstep.
