01:00 Islands in the Maldives have taken thousands of years to evolve and grow. And we made a conscious effort to preserve and retain as much as 80% of the original vegetation of the island.
01:54 Jungle Walk experience. Feel yourself in a real jungle …
07:14 Sand loss and sand gain is a continuous natural phenomenon for all islands in Maldives. With the increasing intensity of climate change, we have seen a great impact of erosion in the last few years.
08:12 Modern environment friendly design of our guest rooms. They are better insulated; thus requires less power to cool and provide lighting. Use of LED lights throughout the island.
08:55 Let us take you to the heart of the house, this is usually hidden from the guests view. We will show you a lot of things that you do not usually get to see. Here at Dhigali we have a number of measures in place to reduce the impact to the environment.
