One of the most picturesque islands in the Indian Ocean, Ihuru is an exquisite tropical paradise waiting to be discovered. Blessed with palm-fringed beaches, crystal clear waters and pristine house reefs, the eco and guest-friendly retreat is located on the North Malé Atoll, just 20 minutes by speedboat from Malé. Step onto an island where nature beckons and plush comforts await. Let your eye wander across the endless stretch of the deep blue sea, rich with dazzling marine life. Feel the excitement in the air seep into your veins and flow through your being. Ease back and rock in your private garden's Maldivian swing. Gently kick the crystalline waters and watch them ripple out toward the Indian Ocean. Dive the famed Rannamaari wreck and sip cocktails at our oceanfront bar in the company of graceful dolphins. At Angsana Ihuru Island resort, the island is yours.

It's fantastic

Conveniently, the rooms have direct access to the beach. And there are a lot of fish in the sea, so it's good for snorkeling. Especially 'The Sandbank Dining' was the best. Dining on an island in the middle of the ocean, where there is literally nothing but sand, is a truly dreamy experience. ALLATH, who served us there, was very kind and took great photos and videos to make memories that will last a lifetime.

The best honeymoon we could have hoped for !

We visited Ihuru for our honeymoon for ten wonderful nights. This was my second time to Ihuru; my last stay was 15 years ago. I am so so pleased I decided to come back, our stay was absolutely wonderful. The island is tiny and intimate, with no water bungalows and a very close, lovely house reef - one of the main reasons we chose the island. The rooms are very large, with a feeling of luxury without being pretentious. There has been a shift in sand on the island since my last visit, so if you want a room with a large beach in front of it rooms 1-20 are the best. We were in room 9 which was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the kind team who accommodated our request to be in a room with a good width of beach for sunbathing! The food and service was one of the best things about our holiday. There is a fresh fruit stand at breakfast where a kind gentleman makes you fresh juice or chopped fruit of your choice- very luxurious! No chopped fruit on platters here ! The curry’s were absolutely delicious, the chefs are all so talented. We were served by the wonderful Liuoo, who went above and beyond for us, making special cocktails, remembering our favourite foods and bringing us little extras. A really nice thing that Ihuru does is make sure the same waitress/ waiter serves you throughout your stay. We ended up getting to know Liuoo really well, playing cards in the evening together and have made a friend for life. She made our holiday so special, and she is a credit to the Ihuru team. The next best thing about Ihuru is definitely the house reef. Even though there has been a bit of damage to the coral since my last stay 15 years ago, the marine life is out of this world. Its busier with exotic fish than if you’d paid for a trip to an aquarium ! There are loads of reef sharks , which are wonderful to swim with and very safe. We also were lucky enough to see several turtles, stingrays, eagle rays, octopus, and tonnes of beautiful fish. The best part of the reef is certainly the western side - which is the furthest swim away where the reef goes out a bit (right of the jetty as you look out from the island) - but is well worth the swim. The new gym is really lovely too, and made working off the all inclusive meals a pleasure! We also each treated ourselves to a massage at the spa, which was really lovely. My husband also had a mini diving course too which he said was fantastic- thank you to the lovely team at the dive centre for being so helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the all inclusive dine package, it is really comprehensive; the alcohol included is of a high standard and the mini bar in the rooms is really well stocked. We really appreciated the large amount of bottled water left in the room for us too. The only thing I would change about the island is the rooms were identical to when I stayed 15 years ago, not necessarily a bad thing as they are very beautiful and luxurious, but are perhaps starting to look a little dated and don’t quite give the same ‘wow’ factor as when I previously visited. This was honestly the best honeymoon we could have ever hoped for; totally magical. We can’t thank the team at Angsana Ihuru enough, you were all fantastic and your island & resort really is perfect paradise!…

Perfect tropical sunshine island

We have just returned (sadly) from 10 glorious days on Angsana Ihuru. We had a fabulous time not only because it is a beautiful place to be, with sunny warm days and turquoise seas, but because of the people. From the moment we landed and were met at the airport we were looked after by friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and it was the people that made our holiday. Our villa (36) was great, with lots of space and was well kept by Majid who did a good job of removing all the sand we traipsed in! We would start our evenings in the bar looking out onto the jetty drinking prosecco and not quite believing how lucky we were to be there. The restaurant was our happy place with such a great choice of food which was always fresh and tasty. We were well looked after by our waiiter who was attentive and always remembered whay we wanted to drink! As we are divers we made full use of the Marine Centre and the staff there are magnificent. Eveyone of them was kind, calm and obviously care about what they do. We did 10 dives while on the island and enjoyed every single one. It was great to see the coral growing back after seeing it decimated a few years ago by bleaching. If you don't dive, the snorkelling is top notch too. We loved our time on Angsana Ihuru abd really hope we will be back in the not too distant future. Thanks to everyone on the island. Gill and Jez…

Peaceful little paradise with excellent hospitality

After spending the first part of our holiday at one of the larger Siyam resorts where things were impersonal, arriving at Angsana Ihuru was like arriving home. We immediately felt very welcome and were so well taken care of throughout our eight-night stay. Although the island is very small, they are offering many activities if you happen to get tired of the gorgeous beach life. We spent endless hours snorkelling around the house reef with a lot of colourful fish, sharks and occasional turtles, but also went for a dolphin cruise, night fishing and stingray feeding sessions at their other close-by hotel Banyan Treen Vabbinfaru. And then there was the heavenly Angsana Ihuru Spa that we finished up visiting almost daily as it was just out of this world. A big shout out to all the ladies working at the spa for taking care of us so well and making every treatment an experience to remember. I have to follow a gluten-free diet and the Chef often checked in to see if I had enough choice and if they could prepare anything else for me. During the first breakfast they had already prepared gluten-free dough for pancakes, so I could have more options. Also, desserts often had gluten, so they offered me ice cream or a plate of fruits instead. On two evenings we opted for a seafood dinner on the beach, ocean waves being the music and stars being the light for the night. Thank you for our Chef for the most delicious food including lobster and for Allath for the outstanding service and taking the time to tell us about life in the Maldives. Last but not least, the room service was one of the best we've ever experienced. The moment we put up the sign "make the room", someone miraculously appeared like they didn't have another 30-40 rooms to take care of. They always left us extra towels as we asked for them on our first day, mini bar was always filled, everything was cleaned both in the room and our beautiful garden. Thank you again to everyone at Angsana Ihuru for going above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We had a truly fabulous time and are already dreaming of another holiday at your little paradise.…
