Dhawa Ihuru | Maldives, Indian Ocean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Maldives, Indian Ocean

5 stars

Dhawa Ihuru Maldives is a boutique resort nestled in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives. Located on the tiny, picturesque island of Ihuru, this eco-friendly retreat offers a secluded and intimate experience surrounded by white sandy beaches and vibrant coral reefs. Home to one of the best house reefs in the Maldives, Dhawa Ihuru is a dream for snorkellers and divers alike. The vibrant coral gardens and thriving marine life are easily accessible straight from the beach — and even include a shipwreck -Raanamaari to explore just offshore. With a focus on sustainability, Dhawa Ihuru provides a unique blend of modern comforts and environmentally conscious practices, making it an ideal destination if you're seeking both relaxation and responsible travel. For an extra dimension to your stay, take advantage of the complimentary speedboat transfer to sister island Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. Just minutes away, this luxurious barefoot paradise invites you to explore a second island — with its own spectacular reef, alternative dining options, and serene beaches. With full access to both resorts, you'll enjoy two distinct island experiences in one unforgettable holiday.

“Paradise somewhere in the Indian Ocean”

Nov 13, 2025Nimrod L

I had a great stay at Dhawa Ihuru. The total experience was truly beyond expectations. The pristine beach and calm environment made every moment feel extra special. This is a complete opposite to my regular hustle and bustle life. On top of that, as a Freediver, the underwater world was spectacular. The marine life was very abundant and it was a privilege to see sting rays, sharks, manta rays and other marine creatures up close and personal. I consider this experience as one of my core memories. A special shoutout also to the wonderful Dhawa Ihuru crew who made this stay even more memorable: Simaad (Hotel Manager), Habeeb, Viyaam, Moosah, Afraah, Holly, Leila and most importantly Hannah, for her warm welcome. I will surely comeback to this paradise.

“A Piece of Paradise that is Dhawa”

Our stay at Dhawa Ihuru Maldives was nothing short of exceptional. The island itself is a literal paradise! A perfect combination of turquoise waters and powdery white sand, one of the best that I have seen! Our villa is just steps away from the beach with its vibrant marine life waiting right at your doorstep. What a beautiful place! 😍 Also, their people made the place even more special. Special thanks to Habeeb and Hannah who made us feel right at home, making everything perfect from arrival to departure. To Holly and Leila, who were always welcoming and efficient. The food was excellent, something we look forward to during our stay, made even better by the attentive and cheerful service of Moosa and Afra. Moosa was genuinely warm and engaging, always serving with a smile! And oh, they are talented photographers! (Thank you Afra, for the pics! Your shots are amazing!) Above all, our deepest appreciation goes to Simad, who went out of his way to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish, even checking on our colleague during a brief emergency. We appreciate his kindness and sincerity, and we’re deeply grateful for his care. Thank you to the entire team for the unforgettable experience! We left with full hearts and memories, making us wanting to comeback! Would definitely recommend to those wanting to go to the Maldives!
