Dhawa Ihuru Maldives: Serene Island Escape with Excellent Snorkeling， Twin Island Exploration to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

Dhawa Ihuru Maldives, a sister island to the renowned 5 Star Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, is a tranquil retreat nestled in the North Male Atoll. Under the esteemed Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts group, the resort underwent a refurbishment in 2012, ensuring a modern and stylish ambiance. Guests can conveniently access Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru via a complimentary Dhoni boat, departing every 15 minutes. Alternatively, a luxurious speedboat ride of just 20 minutes transports visitors directly to the island.

With a total of only 45 beach villas, Dhawa Ihuru embraces a minimalist and refreshing design. While there are no water villas, the island's snorkeling environment is exceptional. The resort features a single restaurant and bar, offering buffet-style dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The on-site scuba diving center boasts excellent instructors who conduct English-language courses and guide guests through five dedicated snorkeling channels surrounding the island.

Overall, Dhawa Ihuru offers a reasonably priced escape without excessive luxury. The island, surrounded by coral reefs, provides a fantastic snorkeling experience, while its pristine beaches add to the allure. For travelers seeking a serene and immersive getaway, Dhawa Ihuru Maldives is a perfect choice.

Pros of Dhawa Ihuru Maldives:

1Effortless Dual-Island Experience: Enjoy the ease of exploring two islands for the price of one. Hop on a complimentary dhoni boat to the neighboring Vabbinfaru Island, Banyan Tree's sister resort. Discover the wonders of Vabbinfaru while enjoying the cost-effective benefits of Ihuru.
2Snorkeling Paradise: Embrace the underwater marvels of this aptly named snorkeling haven. Surrounded by coral reefs, the compact island offers exceptional snorkeling opportunities, complemented by beautiful beaches.

Cons of Dhawa Ihuru Maldives:

1Absence of Private Pools: While the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean provides ample swimming opportunities, the lack of private pools and a public pool may be a consideration for some guests.
2Limited Activities: Due to its smaller size and quieter atmosphere, Ihuru offers a more relaxed and secluded experience, which may translate to fewer organized activities compared to larger resorts.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.

Dining Options: The Maldives resorts typically operate on one of four meal plans: BB (bed & breakfast), half board (breakfast and dinner included), full board (breakfast lunch, and dinner included), or a all-inclusive (all meals and beverages included). Consider your dining preferences and whether you'd like to explore different cuisine options within the resort.

A blissful getaway in true Paradise

This little island is a true tropical paradise with lush vegetation, tasty cuisine, and a truly spectacular coral reef just a few steps away from your villa. The staff goes out of their way to see to your every wish, their kindness really adds to the experience. I would mention Elena and Hannah from reception in particular, who were our wonderful hostesses during our stay, but the whole staff was very attentive. I hope to return here one day.

Wonderful holiday!

We loved this hotel. Truly authentic, friendly and very beautiful. Our room was spacious and our private garden and beach was stunning. The staff were so friendly - I guess that’s what made it so special. We’ve been to Maldives many times and this was undoubtedly our best trip ever. Thank you!!!
