Dhigurah is a long, narrow inhabited island located in the Alif Dhaal Atoll in the central Maldives. Stretching for several kilometres, it is known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and relatively undeveloped, local-island atmosphere compared to nearby resort islands.

The island is surrounded by a vibrant coral reef system that lies just offshore, making it a popular destination for snorkelling and diving. One of its most notable features is its proximity to deep ocean channels where whale sharks are frequently sighted year-round. The calm lagoon on one side and the open ocean on the other create a striking contrast in water colour and marine environment.

Today, Dhigurah is valued for its balance of local Maldivian village life and marine tourism. Guesthouses line parts of the island, allowing visitors to experience everyday island culture while exploring its natural surroundings. With its long beaches, clear waters, and exceptional marine life encounters, it has become one of the most sought-after local islands for eco-tourism in the Maldives.
