Dhoni Mighili

Hotel Overview

Dhoni Mighili's personalised philosophy caters to elite guests' desires, whether midnight champagne of a special vintage, an afternoon of spa treatments, diving with sea turtles, sunset fishing, or deserted island snorkelling.

For ultimate privacy, the entire island can be booked for exclusive use.

Location

Dhoni Mighili is in the Ari Atoll of the Maldives, to the southwest of the capital, Malé. Your Maldives experience can begin with a breathtakingly gorgeous journey to Dhoni Mighili on a 30-minute seaplane flight over the necklace of atolls glistening in the Indian Ocean. Or, of course, the most decadent way to arrive would be aboard your own private Dhoni where you can revel in sunshine and the sensation of the sea gently spraying against your skin to get you straight into the holiday mode that you have been longing for.

Rooms

Dhoni Slamber There are only six luxuriously appointed, air-conditioned Dhonis, each partnered with its own intimate Beach Bungalow featuring outdoor bathroom and waterfall showers.

Embodying the grace and romance of the Maldives, these 65-feet Maldivian sailboats, handcrafted by local artisans, have both the traditional ivory sail and a motor. Sail or cruise – the choice is yours. The bow of the Dhoni is inviting with comfortable day beds overflowing with cushions to laze in the Maldivian sunshine.

At night your Thakuru will transform the deck into a sensual setting for dining under the stars while out at sea. A king size bed with Frette Linen and goose-down duvet graces the cabins.

The Dhonis also boast SMEG kitchen appliances, Philippe Starck bathroom fittings, a sunbathing deck and silk cushions. In-cabin entertainment includes a 20” LCD screen with Bose DVD surround sound theatre.

2 Luxury Dhonis with Beach Bungalow With their elegant simplicity, these thatched bungalows are set amongst luxuriant tropical foliage facing the pristine ocean to engage all of the senses. The bungalows are air-conditioned, have an overhead fan, espresso machine, private bar, outdoor dining setting and Bose sound system with an ‘Apple iPod'. The bathroom is graced with L'Occitane en Provence products. A deep bath leads to a secluded courtyard with a tropical shower open to the sun and stars.

4 Luxury Dhonis with Beach Bungalow and Plunge Pool While similar to the Beach Bungalows and with the same features, these four individual beach bungalows offer a much larger private courtyard with your very own private freshwater plunge pool.
