My wife and I had an unforgettable stay at Dhawa Ihuru. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the clear, turquoise waters and the beautiful weather—it felt like paradise. The staff's warm and hospitable service truly elevated our experience; they made us feel right at home from day one. One of our highlights was a wonderful dining experience at the Hadi Miyaa restaurant at Banyan Tree, a nearby sister resort. But the true gem of our stay was the spa at Dhawa Ihuru. The massage left us feeling completely rejuvenated, and we were genuinely reluctant to leave! Thank you to the entire Dhawa Ihuru team for making our experience so memorable. We can’t wait to return.

Perfect place for great vacation
Nov 1, 2024Diana L
Our time in this hotel was amazing: friendly and welcoming staff, delicious drinks and food, and territory is so beautiful and clean.
What we liked most of all is direct access to the beach from the room, and house reef around the island. Great place for snorkeling. There a lot to see and enjoy.
Simply perfect

Dhawa Ihuru review
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 and 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.
