White Sand Dhigurah

very clean and well-kept, the rooms are properly equipped, the air conditioning is functional, the staff is friendly and willing to help in any problem. quite diverse food. the only minus would be the surrounding area which is under construction.

You get exactly what is advertised. Fantastic mid-range ($$) option. Had 5 nights at the White Sand on the first part of our Maldives trip. All the staff are fantastic & always willing to help. Our room was large & comfortable, air con worked fine, internet was good & breakfasts were perfect to fuel up for diving. Stunning beaches are just a short walk away. The island itself is small & easy to get around & the epitome of a tropical paradise. The associated dive operation (Oceanholic Divers) is also 1st class & provides briefings & the opportunity to sign up for dives each evening in the lounge. As a local island there is no alcohol - but the local flavour makes it a great stay. Verdict: Hope we get a chance to go back again one day! Tip: if you're on the top floor - get ready for a decent few set of stairs.

Everything was just perfect! Friendly, helpful people. Nice food and drinks. Good rooms and comfortable beds. Perfectly organized service. I 100% recommend this place. Just one little thing: I had a bathroom with an open roof, which is fantastic until it rains... I had to go to the bathroom in the rains several time :-)

I had a great stay at the White Sand Dhigurah. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. Highly recommend! The hotel also had a great location, with easy access to the beach side.

I went to White Sand in August with my family and everything was superlative. We really wanted to go to the Maldives and White Sand was an excellent choice. And here are some arguments that support this: the hotel is very clean, beautiful, the rooms are modern, the food is extremely tasty at all meals but also varied, the restaurant is nice and clean and the service is impeccable. The employees are very kind, smiling and hospitable. The owner of the hotel, Reehan, is also very kind and extremely responsive to the needs and wishes of tourists. If you need something, if you want something specific, you only have to tell him and he will help you. The beach is a 2-minute walk from the hotel and the water and the sand are absolutely wonderful, as if you were in paradise. And that is the beach where tourists are allowed to swim. So...a very good location, clean, beautiful, with extremely kind people. Surrley we will return at White Sand. I recommend with great confidence!

We booked our stay here through Holidays Link Maldives. I informed them we were on a budget. All meals were included and speed boat transfers from Male airport. I think it could have worked our cheaper if I booked independently but all good. We arrived late in the evening as bad weather forced out to take a plane to a nearby island Maamigili and then got picked up for a 20 minute speed boat ride. We were met by a tuk tuk who took us to the hotel. From the minute we got to the hotel we were greeted by friendly faces all of whom were welcoming. We were given refreshing towels and a welcome drink. We headed up to the terrace for dinner which was nice. Meals in general were simple and probably the only area I feel could be improved. There was always salad, veggies and then rice or noodles with a chicken or fish option for lunch/dinner. All dives were organised through the hotel with Oceanholic. I think they are managed or run in tandem. Every single team member was very helpful and friendly. Some stand outs for us were : Reehan, Sammi and Hussein but really everyone was friendly. We enjoyed the roughly 10km return walk till the end of the sand cay where the private resort begins. Dhigurah is simply stunning. My only peeve is the amount of waste which was thrown around. Beach clean ups are now a must and we hope every tourist visiting can do their bit and help being responsible, dispose of garbage responsibly and reduce single use. This was our first trip to the Maldives and we hope to return to this slice of paradise soon! Thanks again White Sands Dhigurah

Extremely friendly staff. Large comfortable and clean rooms and not every 5 mins walk from the beach (where isn’t on this lovely little island?). Plus, good connection to a fantastic dive centre, Oceanholic. A really good reasonably budget option for the Maldives.

The two times over the past year I have stayed at White Sand have been really amazing. The rooms are spacious and clean, especially the showers and beds. Staff came in every day to clean, making the rooms a pleasant place to stay, even when the weather is not so great. The breakfast has both local and international options, also offering an egg station. All staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Saamii for the organisation and care, making the stay on the island even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend choosing White Sand for your stay on Dhigurah if you like close proximity to the beach, a welcoming atmosphere and a high hospitality standard.

Different people, different preferences, different tastes. We loved our stay here. The rooms are clean and neat, the people are so nice, friendly and they do everything to make you fell home. Great hospitality from everyone here. White Sand is a 100% local experience and we will be back one day.
