Amazing Food! Tasty, simple but sophisticated at the same time, light and refined. Tuna Steak on a bed of crunchy potato salad and mango chutney is a masterpiece.. ..Buttered Calamari ... Prawn Pad Thai...local snacks like Samosas
Starting from the Breakfast. Every day something new - homemade products of excellent quality an enjoyable experience I would say ! Maldivian disk mashuni (coconut and tuna flakes) or French toast with fresh fruit or pancake stacks....
Dinner can be served on the rooftop which is quite magical ...soft light ... sea breeze ... romantic vibe.
We were there for New Years eve... Dinner was served on the beach.... we found in our room a gift from the Hotel.. bottle of alcohol free wine....( that was so nice ... an unexpected beautiful surprised)
Yes alcohol free cause its good to know that in some Maldivian Island Alcohol consumption is forbidden.
Not a big deal when you can have all the following...:
Choosing to spend a journey on a Fisherman Island implies experiencing the true, wild spirit nature of the Maldivian world.
Untouched nature, white talco sand, the most crystal clear sea ever, you can spend each day, hours and hours snorkelling surrounded by colourful fishes, corals, turtles, manta and shark whales (go to the reception and look for Simona she will guide you through some of the most unforgettable sea experiences you can imagine), endless sunsets and friendly hermit crab...
The real way to relax, to get back to your inner peace, to re-harmonise your heart and soul....
My last suggestion: Bring with you a very small luggage .. all you need a pair of flip flop (we end up walking bare foot everywhere) t-shirts and a sarong, bathing suits and sun lotion 50....
We'll be back... ! Deeply grateful Simona Batistelli and Roberto Rongioletti More

  My stay at Bliss was brilliant. The staff is very professional and very friendly. They do everything to make your stay phenomenal. I stayed in a deluxe room, it was... read more big enough, the hammock on the balcony was very comfortable and the housekeeping will clean your room every morning, great service. The food in the hotel was delicious! If you’re staying in Bliss, you definitely need to try the Calamari, Tuna steak and don’t forget the homemade coconut ice cream. You can’t leave the hotel without trying these dishes. Absolutely delicious. I have done a couple of excursions, the boat trips were amazing and the staff on the boat are very helpfull. My stay at Bliss Dhigurah was amazing, I loved it. More

Room
The room was quite small but comfortable, towels changed everyday, morning service everyday and change of linens every second day. The room had a balcony with hammock, we didn’t use it but some other travellers will appreciate it. In the room I would have appreciated a bit more wall hangers for wet towels or simply to dry out wet clothes from the beach, but aside from that it was very much up to the expectations. The bathroom is spacious enough and amenities are provided, I am not a fan of the open shower and would have appreciated a curtain to separate it from the rest as everything gets wet, but it’s a very common thing in Maldives and it’s just my personal preference.

Excursions and water sports
As for the excursions the guest house offers everything you need to see in Maldives, Dhigurah is just right next to all year round whaleshark spotting area and mantas can be seen around as well, we joined the manta search which was successful and memorable, morning and sunset fishing are also available. To schedule the trips they write on a white board in the lobby a three days program and guests can sign up directly writing their room number on the board which is very convenient and simple. They also have a variety of non motorised water sports and jet ski to enjoy in the lagoon 30 seconds walk from the guest house. We hired the stand up paddle on a superb day, the lagoon is just breath taking, highly recommended.

Restaurant
Bliss has an in-house restaurant, Hermit’s, that doesn’t offer the usual Maldivian menu, they do have Maldivian dishes to experience but have also more healthy options. The included breakfast was a set breakfast each day different. The staff did their outmost to attend my requests as I am allergic to gluten and the choices were quite limited as they are in most places in local islands. They brought gluten free flour just for me and chef prepared delicious bread and pizza, this is beyond the service you would expect from a guest house and very much appreciated. Please do have the coconut icecream, best one I’ve ever tasted. Do not miss the traditional toddy as well! We also tried another local restaurant one evening, there are some other options around, but ended up in going to Hermit’s for basically every meal as staff was so caring and food very tasty.
One evening walking on the beach we saw a beautiful beach dinner set up that Bliss staff prepared for a couple that had nothing less than what you get in a resort, next time we’ll enjoy it for sure.

Special thanks to Shahin who attended our requests and guided us on the mantra trip, always happy to have a chat and tell us about the island and some insights about the guest house.
Maldha (hope is spelled correctly) in reception was very helpful and we appreciated a lot her kindness and her professional service. Marlou and her husband are always checking on the guests making sure we all had a great experience.

We’ve been to many luxury resorts in Maldives and have experienced 5 star service, but the guest house on a local island brings you the real flavour of Maldives, it has been probably our favourite stay so far.
In a local island you do have some restrictions such as a conservative dress code and a designated bikini beach, but Dhigurah especially is such a big island and walking around we felt we were the only guests, so private and quiet and naturally beautiful. The sand bank at one end is stunning, the walk to get there is just so relaxing, not many other islands have this kind of feature.

Overall our experience at Bliss was 10 out of 10 and we definitely want to come back and stay longer. More
