Formed as a long and unusually shaped island, Dhigurah means 'long island' in Dhiveli. Considered one of the most spectacular islands in the archipelago this is also a haven for those seeking exhilarating water activities and that euphoric feeling of being able to swim with whale sharks and mantas.
This is a fast water activity making you seem to be walking on water, also enabling you to take your skills of balancing and manoeuvering yourself through the waves created by the boat you are attached to adroitly. Whilst it is exciting to watch it from afar, it is exhilarating to do it with frothy sprays of water across your body and is considered one of the best things to do in Maldives.
With such beauty all around you at Dhigurah, embrace the turquoise waters on a tour of sailing to re-discover the beauty of the emerald palms against the bright blue sky, the islands far away in the distance making you feel like being in the middle of the ocean and the serenity that envelopes you. Try this at dawn or dusk to witness the glory of the rising or the setting sun as discovered by visitors at The Residence Maldives Dhigurah
Are you craving that rush of adrenaline to make you feel alive and on top of things?, jet skiing in the Maldives is sure to give you that feeling of being on top of the world. Board the 250HP jet ski and skim across with the wind hitting your face at a tremendous speed, you can savour this with a guide or if you are experienced go solo and revel in the excitement.
These banana-shaped boats will fill your heart with excitement, with either two or four riders at a time on the boat, just harness yourself well and go with the advice of the guide and swing on the frothy turquoise waters of the ocean to your heart's content.
Being endowed with spectacular marine life, Dhigurah affords its visitors a vibrant world through Snorkelling expeditions. Even if you are not a swimmer, with masks and fins you are good to go covering a good depth and distance and feel awed by the array of colourful fish and other marine life.
The majestic reef Manta Rays are visible year-round in the Maldives. They love to feed in plankton-filled water and are visible during the period May to November. If you happen to visit during this period plan to indulge in this activity as Manta Rays love plankton-filled water and are used to human beings. Similarly swimming with whale sharks too can be experienced whilst you stay at Dhigurah.
Many visitors take on scuba diving to experience the diverse underwater world, some derive immense pleasure in doing wreck diving, and many resorts in the Maldives provide wreck diving opportunities for visitors.
