Dhawa Ihuru
Top-Rated StayAbout Dhawa Ihuru
Dhawa Ihuru is a five-star resort on Ihuru Island in North Malé Atoll, close to Velana International Airport but still wrapped in a proper island calm. The house reef is the heart of the stay here, with snorkelling, diving, beach villas, and the Rannamaari shipwreck giving the island more character than a simple beach resort. It feels intimate, easygoing, and especially good if you want the sea to be part of your day without needing a long transfer.

Dining
Dhawa Ihuru has five dining options across the island, giving guests a nice mix of relaxed beachfront meals, casual drinks, villa dining and private Maldives dining experiences. It keeps the food side of the stay easy and flexible, with enough variety for slow mornings, sunny lunches, sunset drinks and quieter dinners by the water. Riveli Restaurant - This beachfront restaurant serves international, Asian, Mediterranean and Maldivian dishes throughout the day, with ocean views that make even a simple meal feel slower and more special. Velaavani Bar - This casual island bar is made for snacks, cocktails and easy drinks after a swim, with a relaxed setting close to the water. Nectar - In-Villa Dining - This service brings Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Maldivian and Western dishes to your villa or chosen spot around the island in bento-style boxes. Destination Dining - Guests can book private island meals such as lagoon breakfasts, seafood grills and beach dinners for a more intimate Maldives dining experience. All-Inclusive Dine-Around - The dine-around option lets guests enjoy additional dining at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, adding more variety to the Dhawa Ihuru stay.
Spa & Wellness
8lements Spa at Dhawa Ihuru gives guests a calm place to slow down between beach days, snorkelling and diving around the house reef.

The setting fits the island nicely, relaxed, natural and close to the rhythm of the sea without feeling too formal. It is a good match for couples, solo travellers and guests who want a proper Maldives spa experience after long hours in the sun or water. Dhawa Ihuru also supports wellness with Activa Gym, a 24-hour fitness centre with modern equipment and a yoga studio overlooking the Indian Ocean.
