Best Island reef in the Maldives
This island is a gem when it comes to marine life; some of the best snorkelling I've ever had worldwide, period, and I snorkelled and scuba dive in a lot of places. Half of the reef is in excellent condition, and for a Maldivian island this is pretty spectacular. This was my 5th time in the Maldives, I first came in 1997, and this is the best island I stayed. No water bungalows, motorized sports, or useless luxuries, absolutely great. this is what a Maldivian island should be. Great Spa, very good beach Bungalows, excellent service, and overall decent food (just a bit repetitive at times). Take your snorkelling gears (or get it on the island free of charge) and you will enjoy Turtles, Black / White tips and Nurse Sharks, sting and eagle rays, and of course all the usual suspects to be found in the Maldives. We stayed in Angsana for 7 days, and didn't even feel the need to scuba dive. Thanks to all the staff, we had a great week, and I can assure you that if I travel back to the Maldives, I will stay at Angsana Ihuru.

We booked 2 villas with whirpools for a 3 night stay for 4 adults and 1 child. The rooms are old and hence a bit worn out and dated. Fairly basic amenities and not certainly 5 star by any standard. The jacuzzi didnt work the first night so we called someone to fix it which they did. It worked for a day and then again broke down.... and this time we just left it alone. The staff are good though and do their best to accommodate you. its a very small resort so there is only one restaurant and a bar and the food choices are fairly limited with just a few types of cuisines. The reef is cool and snorkeling around the reef is great! Other water sports activities are fairly limited . Scuba is only for certified divers and after a couple of days you run out of things to do and also for cuisine choices for food....

Good resort close to Male.
Angsana is an older resort, so the rooms are a bit dated, but they are very clean and everything was still functional. Food is very good and staff are exceptional. A lot of fish on the local reef. Best rooms 38-28 for great sunset view. 1 is next to the restaurant, the garden of 46 has not much privacy and 40 to 46 have less beach in front of the room. WiFi is slow.

Amazing resort. Beach is very quiet and private given the small size of the resort and the fact that each villa has its own beach area. Good activities for free (snorkeling, kayaking, yoga, etc) and also a good assortment of reasonably priced guided activities offered by the resort. Food at the resort and the neighboring Banyan Tree island is very good. Service is outstanding and people really go out of their way to make sure you are happy and well taken care of.

Excellent 7 days in the first week of December
Overall excellent. Our objective is to relax for one week and enjoy the sunshine and the white sand beach. We chose this hotel because of 5 reasons : 1. house reef 2. cosy accommodation (room size 57 sq. metre with ocean view, and very clean) 3. transport to Male airport via speedboat 4. food choice includes Asian choice 5. total spending be within US$6000, including all meals and drinks, accommodation, air ticket, speedboat. Angsana Ihuru has met all our needs. We do snorkelling (snorkel mask and flipper are free for rent), relaxing under trees while listening to music (the hotel provides an USB MP3 player), island hopping (free hop to the next island every day), table tennis and playing chess.

Fabulous snorkelling steps away from lovel villa.
Fabulous service from friendly staff from the moment we were greeted at the airport and whisked away to our speedboat transfer. The great design of the villas, especially the outdoor space means that you really do get your own secluded piece of paradise. Excellent house reef so easy to access and also opportunity to use the 2 hourly ferry service to the sister resort 5 mins away with daily stingray and turtle feeding. Weather not so good while we were there but plenty of indoor space too.

Great Resort
The staff provided excellent service. They promptly replied all my inquiries and questions through emails. The resort is remarkable and the view is very beautiful. They provided everything for us in our room and we did not have to worry about a thing. As we were on our honeymoon trip, they gave us a bottle of red wine in our room and a special honeymoon dinner at the beach. The portion of food was big and the taste was good. The only bad thing is, it was raining on our last day at the resort, so not much to do on that day. Overall it was a great experience to stay at this resort. Definitely considering to come back here some time in the future.

Maldivian idyll with excellent snorkeling
Short (5 day) trip to the Maldives with the objectives of relaxation and snorkelling. Angsana Ihuru did not let us down on either of these .. From the warm welcome upon arrival to final departure (with the exception of a rather rushed "farewell drink" everything about this stay was simply fantastic. The arrangements in terms of island transfer were very efficient, and even though we arrived early in Male, we were able to check-in early and be in the water already by midday on the day we arrived. On the island the staff were super friendly and helpful at all times. I will echo also comments by others that the dinner arrangements - in terms of mixing things up between buffet-style meals and a set-menu - is a great idea, and made dining in the restaurant a fresh experience each day. We chose this island on account of the good snorkeling and were not disappointed. Not quite as many large shoals of fish as seen on our previous stay, but a great variety of fish, and daily encounters with both sea turtles and reef sharks.

Simply wonderful!
We had a wonderful stay at Angsana Ihuru. It's our 3rd time here and we were impressed with the improvements made to the villas. The room has been expanded and is very comfortable. You have a private garden with deck chairs, your own swing, and a lounge bed! The house reef is within easy reach from the beach and the snorkeling is great. The spa is excellent and makes this resort a wonderful place to relax and chill out. The food has improved from our first trip more than a decade ago and caters to a more international mix now. You can watch sting rays and turtles being fed on the neighbouring island resort which is 5 mins away by boat. A reminder for us to treat the marine environment with respect and care. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. We will be back!

Amazing location, amazing team, wonderful stay
We had an amazing experience at Angsana Ihuru. We loved the place and would absolutely recommend it. We were (are) a couple looking for a romantic, relaxing get-away. Angsana Ihuru was perfect. The facilities were very clean. The rooms were right on the water and provided privacy; the standards were high. The "house reef" was amazing - we could go snorkeling and see sharks, turtles, so so many beautiful fish and live coral. This is a truly special place. They offered lots of activities and it was easy to book them. The staff/team were amazingly helpful and went out of their way to notice our needs and help to make our stay special. We did the sandbank dining which was a truly incredible experience, to eat a fancy meal on a beautiful, isolated sandbank in the middle of the ocean. The food, in general, was very good.

Tropical paradise
This is without doubt the ideal tropical retreat, no motorised vehicles just 46 beachside bungalows spread out around the perimeter of the island, which means that you can walk completely around the island on the beach in 15 minutes! This is the place to come if you want nothing more than water activities, sunbathing,eating,drinking and catching up on your favourite novels. The ratio of staff to guests is one to one although you may never see the majority as they are working behind the scenes to maintain the essential services. Those front of house staff that you meet are very good at remembering your likes and dislikes and have a great sense of humour. There is an abundance of fish on the reef, and you will probably see some black or white tipped reef sharks (they are harmless).do not miss the daily sting ray feeding on the sister island.. Do not worry about mosquitos as the island is fumigated twice a week.

Memorable Stay
Wow. Thanks to Angsana Ihuru and Banyan Tree team for making our stay truly memorable. We spent 4 nights at Angsana Ihuru from 22 to 26 Sep and are taking with us lovely memories. Pristine resort, fanatic devotion to environment and genuine efforts by one and all characterizes the twin resorts. They live up to the legacy of Banyan Tree and Angsana resorts worldwide. Ultimately it is the people who make a resort so very special. Right from Room Service Manager Jihad to guest relations Laila, Apple and F&B team Husham, Alvin and not to forget the exceptional Marine center team Hamdan, Thuthu and Dr. Steve everyone went out of the way to ensure that we had a memorable holiday. Jihad showed us the staff facilities and the services facilities and it is really impressive. Thuthu in particular was so patient and supremely confident in letting us have our first snorkeling experience of life ( both of us don't know swimming). We will wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone who wishes to experience Paradise and exceptional hospitality. Well done team Angsana! Keep it up.

Nearly perfect snorkeling vacation
My wife and I chose this hotel/resort because multiple guidebooks said it had the best house reef in the Maldives, and the reef lived up to our hopes and expectations. We snorkeled off the beach twice each day (even when it rained on our final full day) and had wonderful experiences each time. The reef was in great shape, and we viewed abundant fish and other sea life (including 3 species of rays and two of sea turtles), Access through the house reef to the outer reef wall was easy, and the dive shop staff provided good information on tides and currents. Dining room and other staff were very friendly and helpful, and included a good mix of native Maldivians and other nationalities. We chose their full meal plan and found the food plentiful, fresh, and tasty, particularly the salads, omelets, fresh fruit, and grilled meats & fish, and menu selections at non-buffet dinners. The beachfront villas were spacious, well-maintained, and lovely accommodations, with secluded and well-shaded decks and sand back yards opening onto the beach. All in all, our 7-night stay provided a great escape from the cold Chicago winter.

We really enjoyed our one-week stay at Angsana Ihuru. In particular we found two things that stood out. The first were coral reefs surrounding the island. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and the hotel makes a great effort to maintain its health. (We saw the staff diving and cleaning.) And it literally starts right at the beach just outside of your villa, so you don’t really have to go far to see all those colourful fish inhabiting them. The second is its staff. They were so friendly and helpful. They would take time to listen to you, and do everything to answer your needs, which undoubtedly added a sense of this holiday being something special. We also used the spa which offers several packages, and the treatment done by Atika was very good. Before I go, I want to share what I think is a important piece of information with future guests. One of the staff took us a tour of the facility inside the hotel, and there we learned that the hotel derives all the water they use (not only bottled drinking water in the room, but also tap water in the bathroom) by filtering sea water. Likewise, all the electricity is generated from diesel fuel on the island. Needless to say, it means they cost a lot to both the hotel and the environment, so I think we all should play our parts to conserve them. Thank you.
