The food was not so much of our liking and we did not find it up to standard. Furthermore, there is usually the possibility to visit the neighbor island (5 minutes far) of Banyan Tree but for the whole length of our stay it was completely reserved for a private occasion.

The resort (around 40 rooms) is simply beautiful and a little piece of paradise. The gardeners and housekeepers definitely stand out for keeping such a meticulously clean and pleasant environment and the level of professionalism can be seen in the details all around the island and inside your bedroom. All staff is kind and care about the guests from arrival/pick up until the very last moment at departure. You can see that they all try their best to make you have the best possible experience. We are travelling with two small kids and everyone was extremely kind also with them. The coral reef is the nicest we have seen in the last years and right in front of your room you’ll be able to see sharks, rays, colorful fishes and sea turtles. Even my non swimmer 2 years old daughter could see all this without going underwater! The island is located less than half an hour from Male which makes it very comfortable to reach. We loved our stay and would definitely come back and recommend it

I would not change a thing.

Beautiful island property, lovely beachfront villas, beautiful beach. The house reef that surrounds the island is very easy to snorkel and has a great variety of sea life. The staff is excellent. The spa services were very relaxing and convenient. The buffet-style restaurant has a great variety of food from various cultures and was excellent. The dive shop staff was very helpful. A perfect stay!!

Stayed in February 2025

As quite close to Male - there were quite a few ferries and large boats that went past - and views of other islands - but not necessarily a bad thing as we didn’t mind at all.

Beautiful villas. Amazing coral. Fantastic staff. Highly recommend.

Very small island, hence not much facilities like swimming pool, and only one restaurant

- near airport (20 mins by speedboat) and they transport guests right after we arrive , ie no need to wait for hrs while they are grouping guests arriving from different planes - house reef is prob one of the best, if not the best, for resorts which can be reached by speedboat in less than 30 mins - value for $ - food is very good

All was good

The villa was very nice and comfortable. Big room with direct access to the beach and water. Very good food and drinks. Staff very nice and helpful. You can walk around the island in 20-25 minutes. Close to Male airport by speed boat. The hotel provides snorkelling gear and you can spend hours around the island. Nice yoga class given on Monday.

Nothing - it was perfect!

Small Island with all the Facilities expected from a Maldivian resort. Spa was great especially Clara, dive centre was the stand out facility especially the dive team and the boat crew.

Stayed in December 2024

Not much atmosphere in the bar area, no entertainment, music was difficult to hear. On one night there was a staff party which affected the usual quality/availability of food at dinner and lack of service at the bar on a Friday night! Unfortunately it was a shame the food/service was poor on our final night in the Maldives

Location to the house reef. Generally good food and drink options. Staff really friendly. Good private accommodation with own garden/beach access.

Buffet might improve a notch. Good but not great, especially the meat.

Location and the access to the beach and an amazing reef to snorkel

Our stay at Dhawa Ihuru resort was fantastic in all aspects. After clearing the immigration formalities we were greeted by resort coordinator in front of the airport and half an hour speed boat ride later we were already drinking welcome cocktail on the island and listening to Elena about general information. We were two families on the speed boat and each was greeted individually making check-in pure pleasure with many woows. Villas are modern with room/garden service twice a day. The island is not big. Walking around takes around 10 min and swimming around the reef about an hour. There is a sister island 2 min boat ride away with a 7 times a day free boat ride back and forth. Both islands have a beautiful coral reef around them. There is no need for snorkeling trips. You can see big variety of marine life on the doorstep of your villa. Sharks (not dangerous), turtles, lobsters and more colorful fish that you can count. We were snorkeling at least twice a day. There is an in house marine lab. Marine biologist Henry told us many interesting things during his coral reef lecture and showed in person while snorkeling together. He even helped my daughter with her school project. There is a wide variety of activities. From massages in their spa centre to local music evenings and fishing trips. My son made life long memories while pulling big wahoos and a barracuda from the sea during big game fishing. Captain Matheen found the fish, made us feel comfortable and prepared tasty sunrise breakfast. Oh, and the food. Like dining in a Michelin star restaurant 3 times a day. Tropical fruit was amazing. Everyone from gardeners, waiters, cooks, bar-mans, receptionists to resort manager were honestly trying to make us happy. And they did.
