This was our 8th visit to the Maldives but the first to Dhawa. We were welcomed on the island personally by the manager and after a refreshing drink, taken to our room. The room was large, clean and a lovely "Happy Birthday" welcome on the bed with leaves and flowers plus a really tasty cake 🎂 The island is small and perfectly formed! You can walk all the way round in less than 10 minutes. Some evenings were buffet restaurant and some were set menus to choose a 4 course meal from. The alcoholic drinks were amazing. No slushy fake cocktails like you get at some islands and there was plenty of choice. Rooms were cleaned twice a day and the towels provided were of a good quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful and made you feel very welcome. If im being VERY picky, I would say that although the jacuzzi worked well, there were plastic bits broken and no light. The food was of a high quality most nights but a couple of meals were lacking in choice I felt. There is a free speedboat to and from the neighbouring Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru island every 2hrs or so. We went across to have a look around but honestly much preferred Dhawa. We had already booked up for next year to come back to Dhawa and are really looking forward to returning. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that make a visit to Dhawa truly amazing. Read less
