Honeymoon at Hyatt Hadahaa
After years of debating our honeymoon destination, Hyatt Hadahaa exceeded every expectation. My husband chose it for its world-class house reef, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.
From the moment we booked, the staff was incredibly attentive—collecting our preferences, travel details, and allergies. When our international flight was delayed, they seamlessly rebooked our domestic flights, adjusted our stay, and handled everything before we even arrived.
Once in Malé, we were treated like royalty: escorted from the gate, helped with luggage and boarding passes, and taken to a private lounge with food and drinks. After a smooth boat transfer, our bags were already waiting in our room.
At the resort, we were welcomed with coconuts, handmade gifts, and our personal valet, Diyor—who was phenomenal. He somehow always knew where we wanted to eat, had reservations ready, and was available instantly whenever we needed anything.
Our overwater bungalow was stunning, private, and comfortable. The plunge pool was refreshingly cool, the room stayed perfectly climate-controlled, and housekeeping went above and beyond. We even got to experience bioluminescence right from our cabana, and the night sky—free of light pollution—was unforgettable.
The food was absolutely sublime. Chef Manuel is extraordinary. Every dish was exceptional, from simple noodles to custom requests like mole that brought me to tears. The daily-caught seafood—especially the tuna—was the best we’ve ever had.
We had some initial concerns about alcohol and dress, but none were an issue. Alcohol was freely available, and guests wore everything from modest to more revealing—whatever felt comfortable.
The house reef was the highlight. It was the best snorkeling we’ve ever experienced: turtles, countless fish, multiple shark species, and the healthiest coral we’ve ever seen. We spent hours in the water daily. While the snorkeling flag system felt conservative at times, the staff always offered safe alternatives.
A few minor cons came down to misunderstandings: room service and minibar weren’t included in the all-inclusive plan, and our bungalow was a longer walk—but transportation was always available. We also visited at the end of off-season, which brought some wind and rain, but we actually preferred the cooler weather and calmer atmosphere.
Overall, we would recommend Hyatt Hadahaa again and again. The staff, food, reef, and resort were all exceptional. We highly recommend an overwater bungalow with a pool and the all-inclusive package. It was the perfect honeymoon—and one we’ll be talking about forever. 🤍🤍
