Eating & Drinking: Breakfast and dinner buffet, à la carte restaurants
Guests at the Anantara Dighu Resort are spoiled every morning and evening by a rich buffet. Half- or full-board can be booked à la carte or buffet-style as desired. Previous guests recommend the dine-around option, where a visit to each restaurant in the resort is included in the room rate. In addition to the Fushi Café breakfast restaurant, a buffet breakfast and dinner are served in 73 Degrees, a typical Maldivian thatched-roof pavilion. The three other main restaurants include: the Fuddan Fusions Grill, with delicious fish and seafood dishes; Baan Huura, which serves Thai specialities on the small neighbouring island of Veli; and Terrazo, an Italian restaurant. The Aqua bar, right by the sea, offers delicious cocktails and snacks. The resort can also arrange a banquet on the beach or at a location of your choice on the island for a special occasion.
Sport & Leisure: Swimming, snorkelling, diving and water skiing
Children can safely wade out into the lagoon on Dighufinolhu, as the water is very shallow and warm. Experienced swimmers can not only practice their strokes in the hotel’s infinity pool, but also swim out to the lagoon’s house reef. Snorkelling and diving are possible all around the island. Rays, baby sharks and parrot fish are among the marine life to be spotted. Guests can enjoy dolphin watching tours, and the hotel’s water sports centre offers kayaking, surfing, sailing and water skiing. Bicycles are available, and a tennis court and beach volleyball offer exercise.
