Every thing was 5 stars. Thanks for all the team. Very rarely to find two islands visit in same time. All activities, private celebration was free. I enjoyed diving into the process of simplification and presenting the final product. It turned out beautifully and exceeded expectations!

What a wonderful end to our trip. The island is wonderfully setup with happy friendly staff, an amazing house reef and fantastic service. Sugina and the team were always so welcoming for our meals. We have visited many islands in the Maldives and this one feels special. Having Banya Tree 5 mins away by boat is great for a new reef and restaurants.… Read more

Amazing experience here. The coral reef and the fish are some of the best we have ever seen. The staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. We just did the parasailing which was amazing! Thank you Yamin and Thootte. We will definitely rerun

Dhawa Ihuru ticks all our checklists for: 1) Comfort - mattress is of a semi hard (not the type of resort bed where the bed sinks in when you lie on the bed) 2) Prompt housekeeping - the room was cleaned almost 2 times a day due to the sand that gets into the room each time we stepped out either for breakfast, lunch or snorkel. We did not have to call for housekeeping to clean up the room. 3) Well thought out activities for young children and adults - we could leave our 2 children in the kids club while I scuba dived and my husband went to the gym. 4) Great service - the staff were knowledgeable in most of our queries and without fail tried their best to help us in our requests. 5) Warmth and Friendly environment - every staff you meet from the housekeeping, technicians and porter will greet you. 6) Glass bottled cleaned drinking water supplied everyday in the room - I had initially planned to bring a few bottled mineral water for my young daughter who requires formula milk but there is really no need for it. 7) Beautiful view with corals and reefs just few steps away from the shore. 8) Good breakfast and dinner, however for more variety I would suggest to travel to the other Banyan tree island for a la carte lunch as this resort only has 1 restaurant option.
