Dhigurah island is probably the most beautiful island you’ve never heard of in the Maldives. It’s a local island without the fancy overwater resorts that are famous in the Maldives, but instead it has a long and wonderful white sand beach.

If you’re wanting to see the Maldives on a budget, this is one of the best places to do it. Dhigurah has all of the amazing tropical scenery you’d expect from the Maldives, plus family-owned hotels that are as low as $70 USD per night!

We recently visited two local islands in the Maldives — Dhigurah and Fulidhoo — and couldn’t be happier with our choice. They were both nice and different.

This travel guide will explain how to get to Dhigurah island, what to do there, where to stay, and everything else you need to know before you go!

There’s no airport in Dhigurah, so you first have to fly into the capital of the Maldives at Male International Airport (MLE), which is about 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Dhigurah.

From Male, you can take a speedboat or ferry directly to Dhigurah, or you can take a seaplane or domestic flight to one of the nearby islands and then get a boat the rest of the way.

The main way to get to Dhigurah is by public speedboat, and that’s how we went. There are daily departures in the morning and afternoon from Male airport and the city.

The speedboat journey to Dhigurah takes 2 hours and costs about $50 USD per person one way. Kids above 3 years old pay full price.

The boat ride usually isn’t too bumpy (depending on weather), and they have a toilet and plenty of room for storing luggage. The boats are new and the seats are comfortable. They also give you free bottled water.

The boats from Male to Dhigurah depart at 11 AM and 4:30 PM (Fridays 10 AM). The return boats from Dhigurah to Male depart at 6:30 AM and 1:30 PM (Fridays 1:45 PM). There’s a brief stop in Dhangethi island on the way to Dhigurah.

However, keep in mind there are multiple speedboat companies operating this route and the timetable seems to change occasionally, so I’d double check the timetable with your hotel in Dhigurah before you go.
The world is a vast, diverse, and endlessly fascinating place, and the thrill of exploration is what drives many passionate travelers. Whether it's discovering a hidden coastal village, trekking through lush rainforests, or wandering the bustling streets of a foreign city, the experience of immersing oneself in new environments is unmatched. With an open mind and spirit of adventure, the opportunities to roam and uncover new wonders are limitless.
One of the joys of being a global explorer is the ability to experience radically different cultures, customs, and ways of life. From the high-tech modernity of cities like Tokyo or Singapore to the traditional tribal communities of the Amazon, every destination offers a unique window into how people live, work, and find meaning. Engaging with locals, sampling regional cuisines, and participating in cultural rituals can profoundly reshape one's perspective and foster a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.
Beyond the cultural enrichment, traveling to new places also allows us to witness the sheer natural beauty and diversity of our planet. Whether it's the ethereal glacial landscapes of Iceland, the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastlines, or the iconic landmarks of ancient civilizations, every corner of the world holds breathtaking vistas that inspire awe and wonder. Immersing oneself in these environments, whether by hiking, camping, or simply taking it all in, can be a deeply rejuvenating experience that reconnects us to the rhythms of the natural world.
Of course, the act of travel itself can also be a source of excitement and adventure. The unpredictability of wandering through unfamiliar surroundings, navigating through language and cultural barriers, and embracing the serendipity of chance encounters are all part of the thrill of the journey. Even when plans go awry or complications arise, the ability to adapt, problem-solve, and create memorable experiences from these challenges is what makes travel so rewarding.
Beyond the personal growth and enrichment that comes from exploration, the broader benefits of traveling the world are also profound. When we expose ourselves to diverse cultures and environments, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and wonder of the human experience. This, in turn, can foster greater empathy, tolerance, and global citizenship - qualities that are increasingly vital in our interconnected world.
Whether your passion is food, art, history, nature, or simply the joy of discovering the unknown, the world offers an endless array of opportunities to satiate your curiosity and wanderlust. By keeping an open mind, embracing the unexpected, and allowing ourselves to be transformed by the places we visit, we can create rich, meaningful, and transformative travel experiences that will stay with us long after we've returned home.
