The Maldives is renowned for its luxury resorts and private islands, but for a more authentic experience, staying on a local island offers a unique insight into Maldivian life, culture, and stunning natural beauty.
Authentic Cultural Experience
Local islands provide the chance to immerse yourself in the everyday lives of Maldivians. From sampling traditional cuisine to engaging in local festivals, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the country’s rich cultural heritage.

Many local guesthouses and beach villas in the Maldives still provide luxurious amenities at a fraction of the price, giving you the perfect balance of comfort and affordability.
Sustainable Travel
If you stay on a local island, you will be contributing to the local economy and promoting eco-friendly tourism too. Many islands are committed to sustainable practices, offering eco-tours and activities like snorkelling and reef conservation, ensuring you enjoy the natural beauty while supporting the environment.
Proximity to Private Resorts
Staying on a local island means that luxurious experiences are presented in the most scenic of circumstances. The Residence Maldives Dhigurah and other private resorts are easily accessible for day trips, allowing you to explore private luxury while still enjoying the charm of local island life.
