Maafushi vs Dhigurah Maldives | Which Is BEST For YOU! & Why

We compare the 2 most popular local islands in the Maldives. Dhigurah and Maafushi local islands. These local islands are very different and depending on what you are looking for is the reason you would want to visit them.

[@klaudiaparulska232]

I looooved my stay in Dhigurah. I stayed in Maafushi too, but the two don’t compare. Also scuba diving…. Both are just as beautiful, but when we go back we’re going back to Dhigurah and diving with oceanholics again. Honestly such a great gang and they made us feel at home ❤

Çok güzel bir karşılaştırma olmuş gerçekten. Teşekkürler! Temmuz'un ortasında bir hafta Dhigura'ya gidiyoruz ailecek..İyi ki Dhigura'yı seçmişiz. Sessizlik Huzur tertemiz deniz ince beyaz kum. Daha ne olsun? Umarım hava güzel olur temmuzda. Saygılar!

I really enjoyed your video. You really explained what each Island has to offer, the culture and cost. Thank you for sharing all of this information with us.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@miruliana]

Thank you for your video. I was in Dhigurah two years ago for diving Sure the diving part it’s great, it is a beautiful island but I felt it is mostly for couples (Maldives most probably is for couples 😂 ), not very much to do around the island than diving, take photos, sunbathing and walks. So I was looking for something that is closer to Male because after 20 hours of travelling by car and plane it is really hard and also something more entertaining. Now being in a couple, this video helps as it highlighted all the pros and cons

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you for watching 💕

[@Google_tv]

As a Maldivian and With Experience. Dhigurah is better than Maafushi, Cause Dhigurah is silence and many People don’t visit there, cause dhigurah is located in South Ari Atoll which is people have to Cross the Channel is Called (Ali huras Kandu) is a Second Largest sea in the Maldives. Many people chose to go from Aeroplane to Ari Atoll. To Go Maafushi you don’t need to Cross Large Sea Channel, it is more cheaper and Faster. Also Maafushi has 2 Private Company which is giving Ferry Service 6 Times a Day. Means 60 to 45 People in a Round from Male - Maafushi. According to My research Maafushi has more than 60 Guest House/Hotels unlike Dhigurah. 😢

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you for sharing

[@dominikmauer1853]

Hi. Very good options for travelling the Maldives on a budget are Thoddoo and Omadhoo and Hangnamedhoo. In some cases you can take the local ferry from one island to another. Maldives means Home of the tuna by the way. Greetings, Dominik.

Wry interesting, thank you!

Thank you

Thank you

[@Skeete1]

You guys are the best. Was debating between these two. Think I’ll go with Maafushi and take an overnight or day trip to Dhigura.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Day trip might be tight because there are only 2 speed boats per day. Best to stay overnight

[@Skeete1]

@@Livingtheglobe Honestly you guys have been amazing. Just been watching through your Maldives videos and now my holiday is completely set up as a result. 3 Days in Male, 5 days in Maafushi, 3 days in Dhighura. Planned transfers and everything thanks to your playlist so really appreciate your breakdowns. Subscribed and very happy :)

[@veraanneta4485]

Finally🎉🎉🎉

[@WiseFamin]

Another super useful video--thanks! I wonder if the reason they gave you a hot dog when the menu said "sausage" is because the Maldives is an Islamic nation and therefore doesn't serve pork or alcohol on the local islands?

[@Livingtheglobe]

good point haha

[@test-dg6db]

Thanks for giving great insight for prospective tourists through your vlog. Kindly let us know the right way to book to Dhiguru, either from Male or from home country before taking flight to Maldives

[@Livingtheglobe]

Reach out to your hotel or guest house on Dhigurah and ask them to book the ferry for you. Locals get discounts. But yes book in advance

[@jcj68]

Looks like I’d prefer Dhigurah as well.

[@lynalyna8965]

With you’re amazing video you helped me to take a final decision , my husband and I are going to Maldives in April and we were hesitating between the two islands but now no hesitation we are choosing dhigurah 😊 thank you for your precious informations, I have a question,do you recommend bliss hotel or can we found something better ?

[@Livingtheglobe]

We are excited about your vacation. Bliss is good but it depends what you like. The rooms are really small, no room to keep your luggage open. Maybe the have bigger rooms. Their breakfast is really good. Wifi was bad but they were looking to fix it. The saff & location are excellent. Keep in mind they are tours are limited to specific days and get cancelled if not enough people go. If tours are important to you, i would look for a bigger place with more staible tours. Or book a private tour

[@lynalyna8965]

[@andreabui85]

Hi!! Thanks for your video! I read, in a post on tripadvisor, that the bikini beach, in Dhigurah, has been greatly reduced by the Maldivians and that the sandbank is not bikini free, this is true or not? and i've another question, December is a good month for whale shark and manta? Thnaks so much

[@Livingtheglobe]

There is only a small area for the locals where it says no bikini. Everone on the sandbank was in the bikini in March 2023 not sure if anything changed now. Yes, December is perfect for both. Whaleshakes are there all year around but during monsoon season it might not be safe to go. Anyway, it is never a guarantee to see a whaleshark

[@banhmichay-ngonbachay9231]

wow, you help me so much to make right decision. Thank you so much

[@hliyaj1220]

Thank you. Does Maldives allow drone?

[@Livingtheglobe]

Great question. When we flew our drone We ran it through the manager 1st that was why we were able to fly. They said people fly drone and look into other ppls over water villa so they stop it. However I still see many people flying their drone and I'm sure they dont ask they just fly.

[@Livingtheglobe]

This was at LUX private island but as far as public islands its ok to fly

Rather go to Boracay Island 🏝️ Maafushi lacks the charm you get in Balis Gili T or the Phillipines .

You kidding me? No comparison. I’ve been to boracay many times and it’s so over saturated

We’ve never been to Boracay. Oversaturated with what?

Hey we are in Dhigurah just now and the experience is just the way you described. Also it was raining all the time mostly so the water did not looked like the Maldivian blue you see. Will upload my travel vidoes on my channel soon
