Ifuru Island Resort Maldives - 24-Hours Premium All-Inclusive

This is a true review that comes straight from my heart and is not 1% sponsored. Ifuru Resort is a 5-star luxury resort rated 100 out of 100 that I highly recommend. The facilities, underwater environment, restaurant, bar, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and beauty of the island were all excellent. There are no water villas, but the beach villa is very close to the beach. As soon as you enter the water, you can see colorful corals and giant clams, and the house reef is close and great. We snorkeled every day and had long free swims with turtles, eagle rays, and black tip sharks. It's like this even if you just go out in front of the beach villa instead of taking a paid excursion. First of all, Ifuru Resort, newly opened in 2023! Located in Raa Atoll, Maldives, we traveled by seaplane + speedboat. Since it's a new resort, there aren't many reviews, so I was worried and decided to refer to the resort's official Instagram and YouTube introductions. Among Koreans, we seemed to be the first to visit. When I actually went there, it was a 5-star resort so great that I could give it 100 out of 100! Stylish and luxurious room conditions and facilities (even the hair dryer is Dyson), truly warm and friendly staff (I still really miss Ari, Rocky, angel, Juli, Nikki, Quineee, kuva, Rudy isuru, muni, RN Adhla) , Mode, a very kind female employee at the waterfront restaurant who always had her hair neatly braided (I suddenly can't remember her name), and Rochelle, a very kind and warm general manager, who remembered and looked after each and every resort customer, and cared for and loved the employees. We were impressed by the appearance, and the resort staff were very courteous and friendly, as if they were guests invited to their own home, and they did their best to take care of us. That's why we really want to go to Ifuru Resort again. I still look at videos and photos taken at Ifuru every day.

We have just arrived back from 10 days at Ifuru Island Resort. We had Villa 317 which had beach access to the most amazing views. Some days looked like we were the only ones there! The rooms are all placed on one side of the island as this island actually has a proper airport which takes up the other side. To be honest it really wasnt an issue. They maybe landed once/twice a day but mostly you were unaware, and it was completely hidden from the guests. The rooms were lovely and the most fabulous, comfy beds and pillows. Usual bathroom outside with 2 showers. One was a free fall outside which was great for getting the sand off you and your costumes. The other was enclosed. They even provided you a mozzie spray and a spray if needed for your room. The towels were unreal! Never seen towels the size of it before. More like duvets! Replaced daily and the room was expertly tided daily by Naveen (forgive me if I've spelt that wrong). Coffee/tea/mini bar/pringles/snickers topped up daily. Floaters for the beach provided. As for the food, exceptional. We started off with breakfast but then decided we'd skip that and go for late lunch. Could not fault the food choices at all. There were a couple of other a la carte restaurants to choose from our favourite was the Water Front. Great service from Diva, Rocky and fab cocktails overlooking the ocean with lights which attracted stingrays, sharks and the like. Great to watch while having a pre-dinner drink. We also had the Teppanyaki experience which was an additional $30 each but well worth it. Nipun did a great job of entertaining us with his knife skills and the food he produced at the end was delicious. Palm Grill was also a nice change. Most evenings we had an after dinner drink at the Hubba Hubba which is the bar attached to the main buffet restaurant. Every evening we had live singing, fire fighters, belly dancing there was always some form of entertainment. I'm not a very confident swimmer but was able to snorkel comfortably and swim with sharks and turtles. Flippers were free from the Dive Centre. Loads of snorkelling/diving trips on offer. We were worried about the weather mid March but all week it was 33 degrees and the sea was so crystal clear. Beautfiul. I would suggest (and this is not a criticism) but a full length mirror in the bedroom wouldnt go amiss and maybe some more drawers, there was only one small drawer betwee the 2 of us. We had the best time at Ifuru so thank you one and all.

From the moment we stepped onto the island, we were met with impeccable teamwork and warm hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Every detail, from the seamless arrival experience to the genuine smiles that greeted us daily, showcased the team’s commitment to excellence. If there was any stress behind the scenes, you’d never know it—because every single member of staff were warm, professional and dedicated to ensuring that we felt truly special. Fantastic Dining & Service Our first meal at The Waterfront Restaurant was outstanding! The food, service, and attention to detail were second to none. A special thank you to the team Hari, Yadeesh, and Diva—who were fantastic, their kindness and great recommendations. Their smiles, particularly Hari’s, showed how much she loved her work and gave the best food recommendations from the menu – so good we went back twice during our stay! At The Social Room/Chefs: Kuva, Manzoom, Aman, and Jumanji made every meal a pleasure, and Palm Grill was another highlight thanks to Julie and the rest of the team Drinks @ Hubba Bubba/ Beach Club: A huge thank you to Ida, Yuda, Queening, and Dhananjay - they made the best cocktails and created such a fun atmosphere! Incredible Staff & Service Throughout our stay, we were lucky to be looked after by some of the most attentive and caring individuals. Our buddy, Indri, was simply amazing. Nothing was ever too difficult for her—she handled every request with grace and efficiency, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of at all times. A huge shoutout to Pratheesh and Ramesh, the brilliant team who took care of our room. They ensured it was always spotless, paying attention to even the smallest details. Coming back to a beautifully prepared room every evening and the wonderfully decorated towels – a skill that I tried to replicate but failed! Unforgettable Experiences The dolphin excursion with Alham & team was a dream, and our spa treatments with Pramila, Jeanine, and Dharitree left us feeling completely relaxed. Exceptional Management A big thank you to Marcel and Raj, who checked in on us regularly and made sure everything was perfect. Their leadership shines through in the service and friendliness of the entire team. Lastly, we arrived feeling stressed and tired but left refreshed and recharged. The only problem? We enjoyed the food a little too much and came home a few pounds heavier—but that’s a good problem to have! Ifuru gave us exactly what we needed—an escape, a reset, and memories to cherish forever. If you ever see Ifuru advertised—don’t hesitate. Book it! It’s an experience you’ll never forget, and one I’ll absolutely be repeating.

The service was excellent! 😍 Special thanks to Chotey, Akil, Rocky, and Aigul—you went above and beyond to make our vacation unforgettable! Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a difference. The views were breathtaking, and waking up to such stunning scenery every day was a dream. Our room was always spotless, and the little touches made it feel extra special. From the warm hospitality to the relaxing atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again! Thank you for making our stay so memorable! ✨💙

Wow wow wow. Amazing. Excellent, beautiful. 5 star location, 5 star accommodation , 5 star service, 5 star food and beverage. Has to be one of the best holidays we have had. The staff, what can I say, beautiful people, the service they provided was exceptional. The water, the fish we saw straight off the beach, I can't say enough about Ifuru Resort, but I don't want to tell you cause I want to keep it all to myself.
