Dhoni Mighili Island

"Wherever and Whenever" is our philosophy on this enchanting island. Your stay at Dhoni Mighili is all about you.

Dhoni Mighili is in the Ari Atoll of the Maldives, to the south west of the capital, Malé. Your Maldives experience begins with a breathtakingly beautiful journey to Dhoni Mighili, two hours by luxury speedboat,or a 30-minute seaplane flight over a necklace of atolls. Of course, the most pleasant and decadent way to arrive would be aboard your own private Dhoni.

You will have a dedicated Maldivian butler - a ‘Thakuru’ - on call 24 hours a day throughout your entire stay on Dhoni Mighili. Whatever you want or need, he is there to ensure that everything is taken care of right down to the smallest detail.

Prior to your arrival, your Thakuru will inquire about any special indulgences you may want or need while visiting us –maybe a personalized dive lesson, assistance with creating the perfect moment for a proposal or even how you like your martini – shaken or stirred. At Dhoni Mighili you will find unsurpassed levels of dedicated service and attention to detail.

Dhoni Slumber There are only six luxuriously appointed fully air-conditioned Dhonis, each partnered with its own intimate beach bungalow with outdoor bathroom and waterfall showers.

The 65 foot traditionally handcrafted Maldivian sailboats are the epitome of simplistic elegance. The Dhonis have both the traditional ivory sail and a motor; sail or cruise – the choice is yours. The bow of the Dhoni is inviting with its comfy daybeds overflowing with cushions to laze on in the sunshine. At night your Thakuru will transform this area into a sensual setting for dining under the stars while out at sea. An inviting king size bed with Frette Linen and a goosedown duvet graces the beautifully decorated cabins. The boats also boast SMEG kitchen appliances, Philippe Starck bathroom fittings, plush rugs, and silk cushions in an array of earthy tones.

In-cabin entertainment – 20� LCD screen with Bose DVD Surround Theatre - is discreetly enclosed behind a wooden panel.
