Ihuru
is a picturesque island surrounded by exquisite beauty that
lies in the rich marine life that exists in the depths of
the clear lagoon that surrounds it. Everything on the island
is in harmony with the beauty of nature - in fact, Ihuru is
one of the most environment-conscious island resorts in the
Maldives. Everything that is done on Ihuru is done with protection
of the fragile beauty of the environment in mind.
The island
is formed like a perfect circle, and its soft white sandy
beach and the clear blue lagoon that surrounds it follow the
lines of the same circle, making the island simply perfect
to look at. It takes 25 minutes from the Male' International
Airport by speedboat to reach Ihuru. There are a total of
45 rooms on the island and all are identical. None of them
are air-conditioned, but all are spacious and well ventilated
allowing the sea breeze to cool the room at all times.
Dining
on the island is always a pleasure, the standard of food being
infallibly first class. Ihuru is a quiet island, a place where
you can spend time appreciating the marvellous beauty that
makes Maldives so special a place. The island's housereef
is rich in all kinds of marine life and the best thing is
that it's only a few metres from the beach. Simply snorkelling
the day away would provide you with unceasing wonder and awe.
Diving from the island is another pleasure not to be forsaken.
The pace
on Ihuru is definitely not fast - but the time flies unbelievably
fast when you surrender yourself to the tranquil beauty that
has so wholly embraced this island.
