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.

Ездили с семьей в январе 2025, муж, я и дети 6 и 9 лет. Перелет прямой Аэрофлот, затем Доместик-линии, вылет был в 11-45, перелет 30 минут - и мы на острове Ифуру. Жили в семейном номере на втором этаже домиков с номерами, весь второй этаж получается был наш. Одна комната была с большой кроватью, вторая с раздельными двумя, номера зеркальные. В номере мини-бар (пиво, вино красное, вино белое, спрайт, кола, сникерс и чипсы), кофе-машина с капсулами, чайные пакетики, но не было чайника. Попросили у своего батлера Дианы- и чайник принесли. Также в номере нет утюга и гладильной доски. По просьбе батлеру были дополнительно принесены. Если кто едет курящий - имейте ввиду, пепельниц в номере нет (да и по всей территории нет, купить негде), такая мелочь, а неприятно. Уборка в номере проводится 2 раза в день, в номере чисто. Не очень удачные ключи от номера - браслеты очень широкие, спадают, открывается номер только со сноровкой, с первого раза никогда, это очень расстраивает, когда возвращаешься с пляжа уставший и с вещами. На острове слышно самолеты, и гидросамолеты часто прилетают и садятся прямо перед главным пляжем и Доместик-линии также слышно прекрасно. В дайвинг центре выдают маски и трубки, ласты бесплатно, есть русскоговорящие люди, можно обсудить экскурсии свободно. Можно взять в прокат сапы и каяки, также бесплатно. По поводу рифа. Это не Красное море, рыбки есть, но немного, кто первый раз, тому понравится, кто искушен - вряд ли. Можно поплавать между дайвинг-центром и рестораном Ватерфронт, там даже стоять можно по глубине, также можно поплавать за рестораном Ватерфронт, риф основной достаточно далеко (ближе всего заход, где качели в конце острова), да и ничего особенного там не увидите. Можно сходить на причал, там плавают мелкие рифовые акулы и небольшой скат. Детский клуб очень маленький, многие мастер-классы платные. Водная зона включается по расписанию по паре часов в день. Питание. На острове питание по системе шведский стол 3 раза в день в главном ресторане перед бассейном, станция пиццы с 11 утра до 18-00, станция бургеров, картошки фри - возле ресепшена с 12-30, мороженое в розовом домике (3 вида, каждый день меняются). Есть 3 ресторана а-ля карт - 2 бесплатных по записи и 1 платный. Нам понравился ресторан Пальм-гриль, в платный не ходили. Также с 22-30 до 7-00 на острове есть услуга Ифуру-итс - звонишь по телефону и просишь привезти еду, выбора обычно нет, привозят какое-то одно блюдо, но накормить резко оголодавших детей можно. Напитки на острове хорошие, коктейли делают отлично, можно попросить смешать на ваш вкус. Вечером в баре Хуба-Хуба играет музыка, с 22-00 до 22-15 проводят мини-выступления (в наш заезд была девушка с восточными танцами и файер-шоу). Обработка от комаров ведется, но они все равно есть, мелкие, даже не заметите. В номерах стоят фумигаторы. По территории нет урн, что также неудобно, есть мешки сетчатые для мусора на пляже рядом с кустами, но и то не везде. Выбрасывать в такие также неприятно. Хочу отмети

A wonderful island where you can really spend time. You are pampered in the best possible way. The staff in all areas are very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed spending time at the beach bar with Sakshi (Miss Sunshine) and Sumit, who mixed us delicious cocktails. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

17 - 28 Jan 2025 From the beginning... Met at Male airport by the wonderful Nahil, who could not have done more to ease our transition to the domestic flight and onto Ifuru, where that service continued with Marcel (GM) and the welcoming party who provided a fabulous and traditional welcome to the island. From there we were made comfortable with a cold flannel, a drink and taken through the reception and arrival process by the team in very comfortable conditions. When that process was very efficiently completed, we were driven to our room where the incredible Ifuru experience began... with the appointment of a personal "buddy" who basically is on-hand at any time if you need anything throughout your stay. The lovely Nafiz was assigned to us and was very, very good at his job. Accommodation... Easily the nicest, cleanest, most well-equipped and beautifully situated villa you could hope for. Sunset-facing, it was a short step to the beach and that famous turquoise glow of the Indian Ocean... on our doorstep. Daily-stocked mini bar, fresh still water and basically anything else we needed! Superb. The room, including the outside area, was cleaned immaculately at various times throughout the day... cleaned and raked clear of leaves, even the sandy approaches to the rooms were maintained by diligent staff from early in the morning. Now to our assigned daily cleaner, helper and general nice guy, Isse (with me in one of the photos), who could not have done more to keep us clean, comfortable and well-equipped. A genuine, conscientious and lovely fella who represents the island so very well and, Marcel, is one of the many staff members doing you proud on a daily basis. Isse was so very intent on ensuring our stay was enhanced by doing everything he could in relation to the accommodation being the best it could be at all times... thank you sir, you are a hard-working, conscientious man who deserves recognition for your efforts. Restaurants & food... The 'Social House' buffet was actually our clear favourite by a long way. The food here throughout our stay was absolutely first-class, with a team of obviously well qualified and well-managed chefs and backroom staff producing the best food throughout our time at Ifuru. Live stations cooking food fresh to order daily and at ALL sessions... this general buffet was outstanding and did not falter throughout. There are a few other options, included in the holiday price, which we sampled and they were OK... but the freedom and quality of the main buffet made it our clear favourite. There is an ice cream hut available most of the day, every day, as indeed there is a little hut providing freshly baked pizza if, like us, you just wanted a drink and a snack instead of a full lunch some days. The trainee pizza chef, Ruveen, went out of his way to ensure there was always pizza available and promptly kept on top of the situation if he was cleared-out suddenly by certain guests, who had a knack of doing tha

We found paradise on this beautiful island and spent a wonderful 11 days here. The resort is stunning, the water is turquoise and the staff were all amazing. Everyone we encountered was helpful and kind and the service was always with a smile. The staff work hard to make sure you are looked after. Our buddy Monica was lovely and she tended to our every need from restaurant bookings to providing sea floats, organising buggies to take us to eat when it rained and everything in between. Nothing was too much trouble. The concept of having one person to contact anytime is great. We ate at all the restaurants and the food was excellent, with menus to suit all tastes. The tepanyaki was great and Nipum did a sterling job with his show cooking. Palm grill was our favourite but we were quite happy in the social house too. The castaway snorkelling trip was such an experience and we saw an abundance of sea life including manta rays, turtles, little sharks and hundreds of tropical fish. The staff on the boat looked after us so well and we felt very safe. The beach was stunning with soft white sand and we always managed to get sunbeds at any time of the day which meant no alarm clocks were needed. A big plus !! Our beach villa was simply the most beautiful room we’ve ever stayed in and the view of the ocean from our bed along with an outdoor bathroom made it all the more special. We liked to retire early (and cool off in the air conditioning) so having Netflix and Prime on Tv made sure we could watch a film some evenings. The only slight negative was that drinks service was slow in Hubba hubba early evening. Cocktails are great but they take time to make, and could probably do with a couple more staff. We are usually ready to come home after 10 days but we were so sad to leave. This really is a special place- heaven on earth- and we will definitely return. TIP- bring high factor sunscreen. The sun is very strong, even when it’s cloudy, and we had to buy factor 50.

Our stay at Ifuru is coming to an end, we have had a wonderful 10 days! The hotel staff are some of THE BEST we have experienced whilst travelling, very polite, attentive and accommodating. SPECIAL Mention and shout out to our room attendant ISSE what a lovely polite man and WOW he does an incredible job, the room has been spotless everyday - Thank you ISSE. ROODY at Huba Huba is a HUGE ASSET to the bar, excellent bar man, always happy and again very accommodating with requests. LONGEY at Palm Grill Restaurant excellent host and waiter service! JIMANGEE in the Buffet restaurant has recently just joined and is doing a fantastic job and looked after us. The island is beautiful, the beach and sea is stunning as well as the pool! The food and service at Palm Grill Restaurant has been excellent, The Waterfront on our 2nd visit was much better than our 1st visit where the food was disappointing. We found the Buffet restaurant choice also disappointing most days, and often the food was cold or just warm…. In summary we have had a wonderful holiday however we feel that Marcel and his team at IFURU have a lot to learn and implement in making this a true 5* experience.
