About the island

Located in North Male Atoll, Ihuru Island is secluded and quiet but elegant and luxurious, only a 20-minute speedboat ride from the airport in the capital Male. Ihuru means "ancient palm tree" in Dhivehi (the national language of the Maldives). All year round, staying at Ihuru Resort you can enjoy the gentle sea breeze. Ihuru悦苑度假村 has been renovated to better cater to the needs of the younger generation of tourists, with interiors using fashionable Maldivian-style decor, bright main colors paired with dark wooden furniture. In 2022, Ihuru renovated and upgraded its hardware again, and upgraded to an all-inclusive island, further improving cost performance.
