Dhawa Ihuru, part of Banyan Group

Angsana Ihuru is everything previous reviewers have described and more than met our expectations. A beautiful island, cosy accommodation, excellent snorkelling, exclusive and quiet, attentive and friendly staff, devious food. We did a night snorkel and cookery class. Magical! Really sorry to leave after 5 perfect days. Thank you to everyone there for making this such a special holiday.

We really enjoyed our one-week stay at Angsana Ihuru. In particular we found two things that stood out. The first were coral reefs surrounding the island. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the hotel makes a great effort to maintain its health. (We saw the staff diving and cleaning.) And it literally starts right at the beach just outside of your villa, so you don’t really have to go far to see all those colourful fish inhabiting them. The second is its staff. They were so friendly and helpful. They would take time to listen to you, and do everything to answer your needs, which undoubtedly added a sense of this holiday being something special. We also used the spa which offers several packages, and the treatment done by Atika was very good. Before I go, I want to share what I think is a important piece of information with future guests. One of the staff took us a tour of the facility inside the hotel, and there we learned that the hotel derives all the water they use (not only bottled drinking water in the room, but also tap water in the bathroom) by filtering sea water. Likewise, all the electricity is generated from diesel fuel on the island. Needless to say, it means they cost a lot to both the hotel and the environment, so I think we all should play our parts to conserve them. Thank you.

We travelled as a family and were a bit apprehensive about the rooms because the online photos were not too impressive given the price. But thankfully, we were all pleasantly surprised with the condition and aesthetics of the rooms. We were very happy with almost everything and the staff. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and felt sad to leave such a beautiful island, resort, fantastic house reef, friendly staff, good service and high standards. It was a wonderful experience & we look forward to returning.

This resort is so wonderful, comfortable villa on the beach .. Staff is so helpful , food was great , it has the best reef for diving and snorkeling , you dont have to pay the $400 for the plane ride to get to the island , they bring you out by speedboat ... Loved it

The island is absolutely amazing. It's small with few rooms, so it doesn't feel too crowded. The reef is incredible and there are a number of wonderful opportunities to see the Maldives (offered by the hotel).

We liked the boutique style set up, beautiful reef and close location to the Male airport.

I will keep this review short because what I experienced on Angsana Ihuru was perfection. I travelled alone, as a woman. I was given a warm welcome. My villa was truly beautiful. The waters and the beach are pristine and the fish life below was fabulous. Great diving. Food was fine. My every need was catered for. It broke my heart to leave my intimate, beautiful island in the sun.

Friendly staff. Nice rooms with easy access to beach. Great housekeeping that constantly keep the room clean and sand free! Superb snorkeling experience. Food ok, but better at Banyan Tree.

We were very happy to have chosen Angsana Ihuru, as the service was exceptional and every one of the Angsana associates (staff) had got out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. Ihuru offers the best snorkeling place…. from mere meters from your villa. My kids age 3, 11, 15 all enjoyed snorkeling at Ihuru, great visibility, sighted black tip sharks, turtles, rays, clown fishes, GT's, wrasses etc. We are very pleased that Angsana have a reef preservation program as well. Food was great, from the breakfast buffet to the a la carte menu. As Angsana is associated with the Banyan Tree and it is also a stone throw away from the Banyan Tree, we felt that we were not stuck on the island, we alternate our activities between Angsana and the Banyan Tree… great location There is an hourly free shuttle service between the two island). The villa was comfortable for all of us and we had additional beds for the kids, the outdoor furniture ( the swing and the round day bed) just outside our villa was where we spend most days relaxing, listening to the soft waves splashing into the beach and the gentle wind breezing through the trees… paradise. We will definitely go back, already planning our next trip. Thank You to all at Angsana.

Angsana Ihuru is an amazing place with professional staf and a location wich is fantastic. Rooms are superclean and all located right on your own beachstrip!!
