Lovely people , lovely island

Oct 28, 2026 Diane m South Wales, United Kingdom

A beautiful island if you're looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday. It's a 10 min walk around the island , plenty of space and never felt crowded . Snorkelling was wonderful and saw a turtle and sharks from the first time snorkelling with the reef being close to beach. Everyone was welcoming , friendly and genuinely wanted you to have the loveliest of holidays. The reception lady Ailida was standout in her welcoming manner and professionalism Food was of a very high standard with the whole team from waiter to chef ensuring every meal was enjoyed . A special mention to Waris and Ani who greeted us nearly every day and were always professional , caring and happy to engage in conversation about the Maldives , the culture and the Maldivians themselves and have a bit of banter ! The bar was a lovely relaxing area with Akash and Don and the team giving a great service with ready smiles The room was of a high standard and had a great outside shower ! It was cleaned daily by Majid , he was a lovely man and kept the room exceptionally clean . The outside was equally maintained well , with the sand being swept and loungers etc being put away , we had rattan lounger, beachside ones and a swinging garden seat; it felt special The gym facilities were outstanding for an island this size and it had a yoga room with sea views. I used daily . The marine centre had activities available, Laura from the Marine Lab was lovely to do the citizen snorkel with and shared her knowledge easily , a real asset to the island ! She obviously cared hugely about the reef and marine life. All in all a beautiful island with a team who I feel were united in ensuring that everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable time . They are a real credit to the island and made the holiday a beautiful and memorable one ! Thank you 🙏 Read less

Beautiful anniversary trip

Oct 27, 2026 Maximilian M

It was a lovely stay. The hotel is on a small island with a beautiful house reef to snorkel and dive. The rooms are very nice and the room service and cleaning works perfect. Especially Areef is doing a very good job. Also the service in the beautiful restaurant, located directly at the beach, is outstanding and works perfectly with the good… Read more

Absolutely stunning

This island is absolutely amazing, the best coral reef all the way around the island, absolutely stunning, I have never been so looked after and our room with the most stunning views, and what a pleasure to be looked after by Shareef.

I love Dhawa Ihuru!

Oct 18, 2026 travel_chimp_2026 Hornchurch, United Kingdom

After an amazing safari in Sri Lanka I stopped at Dhawa Ihuru for the second time for a short stay to unwind on the reef before travelling back to London. I was made to feel so welcome - it was like coming back home to family. I was warmly greeted at the airport by Liu, and then welcomed beautifully by the lovely Aidai on reception, who along with Shadhoon looked after me brilliantly throughout my stay. In the restaurant I was delighted to be reunited with amazing Eni, Iyadh and Waris. These guys are simply amazing and they made every meal time so special. So lovely to see you all 🫶 Special mention to Fazleen, my housekeeper who was simply fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he’s such a lovely guy. And special mentions to Sindy and Clara in the spa, for the lovely treatments. As always the snorkelling was fabulous. All day every day, the reef is alive with life. Hawksbill Turtles, Green Sea Turtles, Blacktip Sharks, White Tip Sharks and fish of every color. I had so many memorable moments, including a Ribbontail Ray. The food was fantastic morning noon and night - big thanks to Yoga for the banging omelettes powering me on the reef! I think Dhawa Ihuru is the perfect ‘easy’ Maldives Island. Small and intimate, first class service, easy to get to and back to the airport with no faffing about with sea planes or internal flights, us a world class reef straight out of your door. But what really makes it are the people. Thanks guys, big love. Mr Lee 🫶🦈🐢 Read less

Lovely resort with great beach access

Oct 16, 2026 archibalddale Coltishall, United Kingdom

This was our first visit to Ihuru having previously stayed at the sister resort the Banyan Tree a few years ago. Excellent transfer from airport to resort with only a short wait. We had a sunset villa which was lovely and so close to the beach so easy access to the ocean. Fazleen did an excellent job looking after us. In fact all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. My only issue was with the food. It lacked variety - lunch and dinner almost the same. No light lunchtime options. We stayed 4 nights and three of these were buffet nights. The 4th was à la carte with options to pay for certain foods. All drinks included in the all inclusive deal were acceptable. The snorkelling was good. Many thanks to Angelfish Travel for coordinating our two island stay. All transfers worked really well. Read less
