Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives

We stayed at the beautiful Cinnamon Harukaa Huraa Resort, and our experience was exceptional from start to finish. We stayed in a water villa, which was spotless, perfectly maintained, and offered unforgettable views. Every morning, we could watch the sunrise right from our bed, and throughout the day we enjoyed the stunning underwater world - colorful fish, reef sharks, and even rays passing right beneath us. The resort staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help. The service was truly first-class. I would especially like to highlight our wonderful waiter Layaan, who was absolutely fantastic and amazingly helpful. Our SPA therapists Opina and Putri were also outstanding - very skilled, welcoming, and professional. The excursions were magical, too. We particularly recommend the shark-snorkeling experience, which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. During our stay, we also enjoyed special dinner - Sandbank Date on a nearby island. It was a beautiful, romantic evening - perfectly arranged with delicious dinner, lovely music, soft lights, and refreshing drinks. Here we would like to praise our private butler Nandana, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the entire evening even more special. Thanks to him, it became an unforgettable memory for us. We are deeply grateful to the entire resort team for the amazing stay and the exceptional service. We truly appreciate everything and look forward to returning again in the future.

What an amazing experience. It's hard to say somewhere is paradise, but this was our little slice of paradise for the week we stayed here. We stayed in a premium waterfront beach villa on the private island and everything felt special from when we arrived. Greeted at the dock by a traditional (I think) drummer and taken to the reception for a smooth check in experience. We were then taken by buggy to get lunch whilst out luggage was taken to the room, and from there on it felt so special. All the staff on the private island (most whose names I wasn't able to catch as our last day was their day off and I didn't think to earlier) were fantastic especially the restaurant staff and cooks Charuna, Kelum, Anjali and the other chef. The food was fantastic and varied, every night a different theme in the buffet (my favourite was middle east night with falafel and fresh shawarma but shout out to the fresh pasta too). The barmen including meneka, where also great, and we had a free meal at the crab restaurant whose staff were very fun (including dragging us over to see the large mass of crabs we'd been asking about). It was my friends birthday and they made her feel special (including a hug from Anjali my fave from the restaurant who everyday was excited about what earrings I'd wear) and a lovely birthday spread in our room. Room was comfortable and just a few steps from the crystal blue water, with all the amenities you could need. The spa was great, we had a free taster massage and a 1 hour Bali massage and the girls were so lovely and friendly (and perform a lovely traditional Balinese dance show). You will see sharks, rays, plenty of fish, lots of crabs (and unimaginable amount tbh) and some bunnies on the private island! My only con from the whole trip is the entertainment is a bit lacking, often only at the main bar and for 30-45 mins, it could do with slightly more variety but appreciate the difficulty on an island 2.5hrs away from the capital.

Not sure what to say other than WOW. Amazing place, fantastic staff, picturesque location and our own aquarium under the floor in the room. Would recommend and would love to come back. Had a sunset cocktail cruise while here. Was brilliant. Nandana and his crew were brilliant. Attentive, happy, efficient. Loved every second of it. Well worth the money. Update. When we checked out at 1200, had to wait until 2pm-3pm for seaplane transfer. We were surprised to find they wanted $25 per person for lunch!! Was not worth the money especially for lunch. Be warned.

We had an unforgettable stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, and we would like to highlight how this resort exceeded all our expectations. The Private Island was an absolute delight 🥰🙏🏻The atmosphere there is perfect for anyone seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and complete relaxation. The white sandy beaches, incredibly clear turquoise water, and gentle ocean breeze make you feel as if you’ve stepped into your own private paradise. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire hotel team. The staff truly care about the guests, always attentive, friendly, and ready to help with anything. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality create a feeling of home away from home. Our special thanks go to Nandana. His professionalism, kindness, and exceptional attention to detail made our stay even more comfortable and memorable ❤️

Our stay at the resort was absolutely wonderful. The surroundings were stunning and peaceful, and we loved spotting so many different kinds of fish. They also offer loads of activities. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially our waiter, Layaan, who made us feel truly taken care of. I also want to mention the dive centre is amazing! Highly recommended!
