About Angsana Ihuru

Angsana Ihuru is Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru's sister island in North Malé Atoll, about 25 minutes from Velana International Airport by speedboat — we reach it by boat from our base. Tiny and beautifully kept, it is famous for one of the best house reefs near Malé, with coral just metres off a beach that circles the entire island. Villas are beachfront, low, and thatched, with palms leaning over the sand. Its intimacy suits couples and small families who want quiet beaches and easy reef access.

Where we shoot

Beaches & photo spots on Angsana Ihuru

House reef shallows

Reef meets beach within a short swim — turtle and coral frames, clearest in the morning.

Wrap-around beach

Sand circles the island, so we always have a sunrise and a sunset shore to choose from.

Beach villa frontage

Thatched villas open directly onto the sand for lazy, barefoot portraits.

Arrival jetty

A short timber jetty with open lagoon behind — a simple, bright arrival frame.
