Limited-time exclusive Eid Package for locals and expats to rediscover Dhawa Ihuru

In celebration of Eid al-Adha, Dhawa Ihuru, formerly known as Angsana Ihuru launches a limited-time Exclusive Eid Package for Maldivians and work permit holders to experience an amazing island getaway, and rediscover the picturesque resort.
Set on an idyllic private island in North Male,’ approximately 20-minute speedboat ride away from Velana International Airport, this charming paradise with one of the best house reefs in the Maldives offers a “beachfront life”. The package includes stay in a Beachfront Villa for two adults with three meal plans to choose from – Half Board, Full Board or All-Inclusive. It also includes complimentary return speedboat transfers.
The Beachfront Villa is a modern accommodation with ample outdoor living spaces, separate dining room, direct access to the beach and close to the house reef. It comes with a king size bed, and can fit up to two additional sofa beds. The villa also features an island-style breezy sitting on the veranda with sweeping views of the magnificent Indian Ocean.
Embracing the joyous spirit of Eid, and inspiring families to bond on this occasion, two children below 12 years old can stay and dine with their parents without additional supplements. Various indoor and outdoor activities await them at the Kids Club – from building sandcastles to T-shirt painting, treasure hunts, and beach games. While they are under the care of well-trained attendants, couples can indulge in a rejuvenating signature body massage at 8lements Spa, or kayak across the turquoise waters, and appreciate the abundant and magical marine life beneath.
For the thalassophiles, they will be thrilled to join the guided snorkelling trips or snorkelling safari. They can also attend interesting talks conducted by the Marine Biologist that covers the diverse underwater life and marine conservation topics, which Dhawa Ihuru is actively promoting and supporting.
Sumptuous culinary treats await guests, including international cuisine and the freshest catch of the day at the Riveli Restaurant, local bites and cocktails at the Velaavani Bar and Nectar, the Japanese bento box-style in-villa dining. Furthermore, the new Twin-Island concept allows them to explore premium dining at its nearby sister resort, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru.
Owned and managed by the Banyan Tree Group, Dhawa Ihuru is a distinct island retreat of its own, where abundant nature, local culture and warm hospitality meet with stylish comfort and modern design – ideal for independent travellers. It is home to the signature dive spot, Rannamaari Wreck, which lies 26-metre deep a few metres off the house reef, offering diverse marine species to discover. Its casual, contemporary, and relaxed ambience makes it an ideal destination for a blissful and memorable Eid escape.
This Exclusive Eid Package is valid for reservations made by 15 July 2023 and stays until 30 September 2023.
