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.

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.
