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.

A small but wonderful island surrounded by a coral reef full of amazing life, great variation of reef fish, sea turtles, reef sharks…perfect for snorkeling! Despite of being a small island you never have a feeling of getting crowded. The villas are discrete and have a feeling of privacy, all having garden facing the beach. The crew is just amazing!!! Restaurant a very good variation of the buffets, fresh sallads topped with grilled fresh local fish. Very friendly service, Moosa took very good care of us! Also the very nice bar crew served us so well with good espresso, tea and fruit drinks. The cleaning service was just perfect and discrete! But also the other teams were so friendly and helpful, diving, reception, spa etc. Read less
