A Wonderful Experience on Dhigali Resort Island! Dhigali Resort is a true paradise on earth in every way, but what truly made this place special for me was the scuba diving. I must admit, I had never dived before, but this trip gave me a once-in-a-lifetime experience, thanks to Greg, the fantastic leader of the Dive Center, and of course, my wife, Alexandra. Greg and his team introduced me to this new world with incredible professionalism and endless patience. They paid attention to every detail to ensure I felt safe and confident underwater. Greg, the heart of the Dive Center, is an incredibly inspiring person, and his passion for the sea instantly rubbed off on me. My wife, Alexandra, also enthusiastically encouraged me to try diving – without her support and enthusiasm, I might never have dared to dive in. The underwater world I was able to explore around Dhigali exceeded all my expectations. In the crystal-clear waters, I saw colorful coral reefs, schools of exotic fish, and breathtaking marine creatures. It was both moving and magical to witness this untouched beauty – an experience I will never forget. I’d also like to highlight the friendliness and expertise of the dive center staff. They answered all my questions with patience and made sure I enjoyed every moment of the dive. Dhigali Resort is not just a beautiful island; it’s a place where you can discover new passions and create lifelong memories. If you’ve ever considered trying scuba diving, don’t hesitate – Greg and his team will guarantee you an unforgettable experience. Thank you for this amazing trip – I’m sure we’ll be back! 🌊🐠 Thank you for the Buggy service guys, for the bartenders-waiters/waitress, for the housekeeping staff! Read less

Well what can I say about this beautiful little Atol if a island. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and brilliant in all ways. The beach villas are brilliant place to stay, clean, bright, airy and loving the outside showers. Food is plentiful and lots to choose from no matter what your tastes. The swimming pools are amazing , there is a pool for everyones needs. The Sri Lankan band who play in the afternoon & evening are amazing playing music from all era's. The kids club team are absolutely superb and are naturally gifted in what they do, can't praise them enough Samu, Anna & Layley. Overall the island caters for everyone from bars, pizzeria and the coffee shop gives Starbucks &Costa a run for its money with friendly staff there too especially Lana whom makes a good Gingerbread latte/Americano in which she greets you like your a every day customer, amazing. The whole team there really know how to give you a good holiday. Would soooooo love to go back again. Read less
