The hotel

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.

Beautiful island, with idyllic white sand and coral reef within meters of the beach! Food options at breakfast, lunch and dinner fantastic! Our children, loved the snorkeling, swimming and playing in the sea. Saw turtles, rays, shark, dolphin and octupus alongside an amazing array of fish! Really calm and chilled atmosphere over our 10 night stay. The staff were superb, made us all feel at home. Emi, welcomed us and spoke to us by name at every meal - little things that make a huge difference! The twinned island was a great morning trip where we saw a Ray close to the beach. Would definitely go back! Mark, Lia, Freya and Molly Read less
