Ihuru Island beach
Discover the quintessential Maldivian retreat at Angsana Ihuru Maldives, where comfortable villas nestle amidst lush greenery, pristine white sands, and the azure waters of the lagoon. Just a stone's throw away lies a vibrant coral reef, teeming with an array of oceanic flora and fauna. The island's thatched roofs and spacious terraces are hallmarks of Maldivian resorts, yet Angsana Ihuru holds a special allure for newlyweds. Many choose to celebrate their nuptials and honeymoon here, perhaps drawn by the exceptional "wedding" service. We invite you to experience it for yourself.

Beach description
Ihuru Island, part of the North Malé Atoll, lies 17 km from Velana International Airport (Malé city). A speedboat service operates around the clock from there. The journey takes approximately 20 minutes from the Malé capital and 35 minutes from the airport. A 45-minute boat ride will transport you to Kuda Haa, a renowned scuba diving site. The hotel's dive center arranges transfers and diving excursions to this location.
For those seeking to break free from the hustle of civilization and immerse themselves in unspoiled nature, Ihuru Island is the perfect retreat! With coconuts and bananas dangling from palm trees, the presence of monkeys and turtles, and the absence of brand boutiques and traffic, you are guaranteed to leave behind thoughts of work and daily troubles. It's easy to forget that a world exists beyond the ocean's horizon.
The beaches and lagoon of Ihuru are unmatched in their picturesque beauty and cleanliness. Visitors can revel in the fine white sand that stretches at least a hundred meters into the ocean. The shallow waters, visible even from an airplane, ensure the shoreline is safe for young children and non-swimmers. The lagoon's surface is serene and undisturbed, devoid of waves. Those craving the thrill of foamy crests and splashing waves can venture out by boat to surf-friendly spots. During the tourist season, the island is spared from strong winds, with only a warm, gentle Maldivian breeze caressing your skin as you sip sparkling wine and witness the vibrant hues of the sunset.
When is the best time to visit?
The Maldives, with its idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters, is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit for a beach vacation is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. This period is characterized by lower humidity, less rainfall, and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for sunbathing, snorkeling, and diving.
- November to April: This is the peak tourist season, with perfect weather conditions for beach activities. The sea is calm, offering excellent visibility for underwater adventures.
- May to October: Known as the monsoon season, this period sees more rain and stronger winds. However, it's also a time when the islands are less crowded, and resorts may offer lower rates.
For those seeking the ultimate beach vacation, timing your visit during the dry season ensures the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, if you're looking to avoid crowds and don't mind occasional showers, the off-peak months can also be a great time to explore the Maldives' natural beauty.
