Summary

Boutique Beach is designed, built and run by Romney Drury, a British diver, who loved this area so much, she gave up her job in the UK to be able to offer divers a wonderful experience for a much more economical price than previously possible in resort diving.

The hotel offers 6 spacious, private rooms, 1 main restaurant and 1 roof top restaurant along with a very own Diving centre with NITROX and whole range of excursions and opportunities to enjoy the natural Maldivian environment.

Boutique Beach is located on Dhigurah which is in the famous whale shark area in the South Ari Atoll. Our hotel is located just 2 minutes from the beach of Dhigurah. It’s a marine protected area from the government, where whale sharks & manta rays are seen every day.

Boutique Beach’s main focus is to give guests opportunities to experience the wonderful marine wildlife available in South Ari Atoll and also to experience the "Real Maldives", amongst friendly local people who are happy to share their island and their way of life. Meet the locals and experience the local life style while enjoying the beauty of Maldives.

Guests can transfer on a 20 minute domestic flight from the international airport at Male’ to the domestic airport Maamigili. The traditional local ferry and speed boat options are also available between Male’ and the local island.

Dhigurah
Dhigurah, (meaning long island) is in South Ari Atoll, about 20 minutes by plane from the capital, Male’. The island is 3 km in length which is considered to be a reasonably long island in the Maldives. With more than 3 km of natural white sandy beach, it is also considered to a beautiful inhabited island.

With a population of about 600, Dhigurah has all the necessary facilities for human habitation, a school, medical centre and a generous harbour. The population is concentrated on a small area in the north of the island and the rest is mostly for fruit and vegetable gardening and natural vegetation.
