New Maldives resort to become region’s first permanent skydiving dropzone

The independently owned, private resort in the Raa Atoll offers sunset views from all of the 147 beach suites and villas, and the Sunset Beach Suites and Sunset Beach Villas offer direct access to the beach.

Ifuru Island Maldives has its own private airport, and the resort has teamed up with world champion skydiver Will Penny to create the Maldives’ first permanent skydiving dropzone. Between the beginning of November and the end of March guests can take to the sky before enjoying a skydive over the Indian Ocean. Other excursions and experiences include dolphin watching, sunset cruises, island hopping, cultural immersions, stargazing and snorkelling. 

Facilities include six restaurants and four bars. The resort offers its Exclusively Yours premium 24-hour all-inclusive offering, and guests can dine at two a la carte restaurants. The Waterfront serves “Asian dishes with an infusion of Mediterranean flavours and South American notes”, while Palm Grill is a rustic grill steakhouse which also serves locally caught fresh fish and vegan creations. There’s also the Xanadu Spa, night tennis and multi-court, a fitness centre and kids’ club.

To celebrate the launch, guests can save 50% on stays until 23 December 2023.
