Dhawa Ihuru

Dhawa Ihuru is a three-hectare island in North Malé Atoll, 20 to 25 minutes from Malé by speedboat. Its well-known house reef runs all the way round the island, and divers can visit the Ranamaari shipwreck. Every stay is all inclusive, with a premium all-inclusive option.

All 45 villas are on the beach, with the sand at the door. Beachfront Villas (57 m²) have a king bed and a sofa bed and sleep up to four adults; Beachfront Rainmist Villas (68 m²) add an outdoor misting lounge; and Beachfront Jet Pool Villas (68 m²) have a private jet pool.

Riveli is the all-day restaurant on the beach, with buffet and à la carte meals from Asian to Mediterranean and Maldivian, and Velaavani is the open-air bar beside it, looking over the lagoon and reef, where turtles and dolphins are sometimes seen. The Nest is a 24-hour lounge for drinks and snacks. There's also a spa, a gym, a kids' club, wakeboarding and snorkelling trips.
