Dhigufaruvinagandu, Baa Atoll
Satellite imagery cannot be colour-graded or shot from a flattering angle, which makes it a better guide to an island than anything a resort will publish — the real beach, the real reef, and exactly how close that neighbour is: 5.3524, 72.9899
Island, atoll, rooms and operator from the Ministry of Tourism register (2026-08-17). Rooms are licensed capacity, not marketed villas. Coordinate from the LiteAPI hotel catalogue, checked against the register's atoll. Distances are straight-line, computed here; the journey is longer.
Nearest runway other than Velana is Dharavandhoo (DRV), 27 km away. Trans Maldivian Airways does not list a seaplane transfer here. They are the largest operator but not the only one, so that means we cannot show you a route, not that none exists.

From the booking-platform record, not the resort. A short list of the things that change a decision — confirm anything you are relying on.
Transfer
40-minute seaplane. Cost not published on the resort’s own site.
The resort's own fact sheet offers a choice: a direct ~40-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport, or a domestic flight to Baa Atoll Dharavandhoo Airport (~20 minutes) followed by a resort speedboat (~30 minutes, ~50 minutes total). No cost is published for either route. Seaplanes fly daylight only; the domestic-flight route is the only one workable after dark.

Room categories
Ten categories with published unit counts and sizes; the categories sum to 83 rooms against a registered 85, a small discrepancy in the source and not reconciled here. No all-inclusive package is published — dining runs à la carte across three restaurants plus in-villa dining, so mealPlan is correctly absent.

Children
Children accepted. The resort's own terms set tiered ages: 0–1.99 is "Infant" and stays free sharing a parent's bed (an extra bed costs a supplement); 2–11.99 is "Child" and a child rate applies; 12 and over counts as an adult. A dedicated kids' club (Baraveli) is also advertised.

Rates and reef condition are still unverified, and we have not read this resort's meal plan terms. What is shown above is either public-record arithmetic or the resort’s own published terms, never a review. How we source things.
