Location: Dhoni Mighili is in the Ari Atoll (Alifu) of the Maldives, to the south west of the capital, Male. Your Maldives experience begins with a breathtakingly beautiful journey to Dhoni Mighili, a 30-minute seaplane flight over the necklace of atolls. Of course, the most pleasant and decadent way to arrive would be aboard your own private Dhoni. Ultimate privacy from the paparazzi is assured whilst on the island; not a single long lens or flashgun in sight.
Surroundings and Philosophy:
Privacy and your sanctuary. An expanse of the whitest coral sand, which turns a pinky coral shade at sunset. The price includes your own private boat (Dhonis), your beach bungalow and you will have a dedicated Maldivian butler, a "Thakuru", on call 24 hours a day throughout your entire stay at Dhoni Mighili. Your Thakuru will take you to specially selected snorkelling spots, bring you the freshest local papaya or place flowers on your bed. 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 seek information of any special indulgences you may want or need whilst visiting us. At Dhoni Mighili you will find unsurpassed levels of dedicated service and attention to detail.

Accommodations Island Bungalow plus Private Boat (Dhonis) There are a total of 6 bungalows and the island and 6 boats (dhonis).
With their rustic charm, these thatched bungalows are set amongst luxuriant tropical foliage, facing the pristine lagoon. Natural materials are used for furnishings that have been sourced throughout Asia and beyond. The Bungalows are fully air-conditioned, have an overhead fan, Espresso machine, private bar, outdoor dining setting and Sound System. The luxury bathroom is graced with L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE amenities and a deep bath leads to a secluded, private walled courtyard, with its own tropical shower open to the sun and stars. Two of the 6 Beach Bungalows include a Plunge Pool. While similar to the other 4 Beach Bungalows, and with the same amenities, these two Beach Bungalows with Plunge Pool offer a much larger private courtyard with your very own private freshwater Plunge Pool.
Private Boats (Dhonis). There are six luxuriously appointed fully air-conditioned Dhonis (traditional Maldivian boat), each partnered with its own intimate Beach Bungalow with outdoor bathroom and waterfall showers. These 65 ft 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 whilst out at sea. An inviting King Size bed with Frette Linen and goose down duvet graces the beautifully decorated cabins. They also boast SMEG kitchen appliances, Philippe Starck bathroom fittings, plush rugs, and silk cushions in an array of earthy tones. In-cabin entertainment - 30" LCD screen with Bose DVD Surround Theatre – is discreetly enclosed behind a wooden panel.
