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.

Our stay at this paradise was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking overwater villa with its direct access to the turquoise lagoon to the exquisite dining experiences under the stars, every moment was perfection. The resort's design harmoniously blends luxury with the natural beauty of the islands. However, what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional staff, particularly Holly at the front desk. Her warm, genuine welcome set the tone for our entire holiday. She was incredibly attentive, professional, and her brilliant smile was a daily delight. Thank you, Holly, for making us feel so valued and for your unparalleled hospitality Read less

The staff on the island are all very enthusiastic. It's a very beautiful and pleasant small island. The snorkeling environment is excellent, and the instructors at the diving center are very responsible. The Chinese front desk staff, Holly, provided excellent service! It was a very pleasant journey. 🤩✌️✌️✌️
