Ifuru Island Maldives Officially Opens

Ifuru Island Maldives celebrated its official opening on 23 September 2023 with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the owners, the resort’s All-Star team and the very excited first official guests.

A lush natural island boasting a 1km white sandy beach with sunset views, the Ifuru Island concept brings unique, engaging experiences for guests seeking social connections and everything the Maldives has to offer in one place.

‘Island Vibe Boss’, Rochelle Kilgariff, commented: “Surprise! We’re absolutely thrilled to celebrate the resort’s opening and start sharing the fun and magic experiences of our island with guests. We are all-beach, all-sunset and all-inclusive, and everything we do is about creating a playful and social atmosphere for all – from being home to the Maldives’ first-ever permanent skydive dropzone, to our Xanadu spa, extensive dining offerings and exceptional experiences.”

Located in the Raa Atoll, this luxury premium all-inclusive resort offers 147 elegant beach suites and villas, including those with direct beach access and personal pools. Designed as a series of ‘Retreats’ and ‘Villages’, accommodation is arranged in small coteries that balance sociability and seclusion, making Ifuru Island an ideal destination for multigenerational and celebratory escapes.

Six restaurants and four bars create a culinary journey for guests to indulge in the resort’s 24-hour, premium all-inclusive, dine-around experience.

Ifuru Island offers a wealth of experiences – from skydiving over the Indian Ocean, diving with sharks and surfing, to spa treatments, island hopping, cultural immersions and extensive sports facilities.

Younger guests are kept entertained as they let their imaginations soar and immerse themselves in the wonders of the Maldives at the Coconut Kids Club and Little Explorers Club.

To make the most of its private airport, Ifuru Island has collaborated with 21k-jump World Champion skydiver Will Penny to create the Maldives’ first permanent skydiving dropzone.

Kilgariff adds: “We’re truly committed to infusing magic into every moment of a guest’s stay with us. By transcending expectations, elevating the beauty of the island and delivering warm hospitality always, we want to create an infinite range of possibilities for guests to discover their own perfect escape.”
