Innahura Maldives Resort WEATHER

There are seventy-eight bungalows, all 79 square meters, and placed along the beach. Guests can choose from three styles of bungalows: the sunset beach bungalows, the sunrise beach bungalows, and the interconnecting beach bungalows. The sunset and sunrise beach bungalows are the same, only differing due to their locations. The sunset beach bungalow is more popular due to its setting on the inside of the atoll, which is where the ocean is the calmest. It is also located close to the restaurant, bar, and pool. The sunrise beach bungalows directly face the ocean. The interconnecting beach bungalows are for guests traveling in groups as it includes four bungalows in total. All bungalows include queen-sized beds, a sundeck, a semi-outdoor bathroom, minibar, living space, and a beachfront location. Each bungalow can accommodate up to two adults and two children or three adults. Guests 15 years of age and up are considered to be adults.

Guests can enjoy all of their meals at the resort’s main buffet restaurant, Dhoni. The menu consists of international, regional, and local cuisines. There are two bars on the resort as well. The resort also offers a spa, game room, sunset cruises, island hopping, beach volleyball, badminton, and water sports.

Innahura is partnered with Prodivers Scuba Centre where divers can go on guided diving and snorkeling boat trips, buy or rent gear, get repairs, and participate in PADI courses. Half-day and full-day dive trips are offered, and sights often include sharks in the channels, turtles, and more in the colorful coral reefs.

Dive Conditions

The conditions are generally good all the year around Maldives. Air temperature is 26°C to 32°C year-round. The average water temperature ranges from 27°C to 30°C year-round. Divers can expect visibility from 15m to 40m depending on the season and location. The visibility is not as good during the rainy season, May to August. Currents depend a lot on tide and location, and ranges from none in the lagoon to very strong in the channels. Dive depths range from 5m to 40m. The coral reefs are shallow and most of the dive sites are between 10 and 20 meters deep.

Due to the medium to strong currents, drift dives are common. Often divers have to do a negative entry, which means the moment you enter the water, you must descend to the bottom. The Maldives is recommended for the intermediate level or experienced diver. Because of the depths and currents, dives in the Maldives are usually 45 - 50 minutes for many divers. There are many dives sites which are suitable for novice divers as well which are protected from the currents, and novice divers can do drift dives on the long reefs not affected by tricky currents.
