Dhawa Ihuru, part of Banyan Group is a resort in North Malé Atoll, set on its own resort island rather than on an inhabited local island. Like most Maldives resort islands, the island is given over to a single resort, so your room, the restaurants and the beach are all in one place.
Best for
Dhawa Ihuru, part of Banyan Group suits travellers who want a self-contained island holiday, with the beach, meals and activities a short walk from the room, and who are happy to stay put once they arrive. The listed spa adds an option for slower days.
It suits less well travellers on a tight budget or anyone who wants to see everyday island life, because meals, drinks and excursions are bought from the resort, and leaving the island means a boat trip.
