Guest Reviews

• Mosby (9/5): I would love to bring my wife back as soon as we have to time and money! I would highly reccomend anyone to come enjoy a - We loved the ability to go snorkeling when ever we wanted because the water was just the right depth. We loved how nice and accommodating the staff were. We also loved how amazing the room was! The only issue(if any) might just be the food being a bit over cooked(steak was well done instead of medium)and some things were smaller portions for price(it’s a resort so I get it)
• Cornelia (10/5): Traumhaft - gerne wieder - Die Größe der Insel, die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter, Sauberkeit, das 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, leckeres Essen Nichts
• Poornima Kasbekar (10/5): - Very well managed and organized, staff was courteous and helpful. Food variety and quality met expectations. No complaints

• nathalie (10/5): Le paradis - Tout, le service personnalisé pour commencer. Tout le monde est aux petits soins pour nous servir au mieux . Tout est dans le détail , nous sommes reconnus et chouchouter, merci Anas❤️ Le calme de cet établissement, la qualité de la nourriture, excellente. Jusqu’aux viennoiseries au petit déjeuner, des croissants meilleurs qu’en France ! Les fonds marins sont exceptionnels, avec requins tortues , raies à quelques coups de palmes des logements. La villa pilotis avec piscine est magnifique. Rien

• Daniele (10/5): Amazing - Overall, our stay at the hotel was excellent: the food was fantastic, the room was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly attentive—especially Shaa, who helped us extend our stay and book activities, and Haskoo, who always took great care of us at breakfast and dinner and even took us snorkeling, where we saw a turtle, a shark, and beautiful fish and corals on the hotel’s own reef. 🌊🐢🦈 Everything was good 😊

• 699angusk (10/5): Spectacular Resort and Service - We spent a short time on Hurawahli but loved every minute. A secluded island with a level of service that ensured that we were always happy. The sunset cruise, accompanied by dolphins, was great and the underwater restaurant was spectacular with a five course meal (with the wine flight) surrounded by tropical fish was just a bucket list dream turned into reality. We were always greeted with smiles from the staff and Kashmir in the Coco Bar was a stand out but everyone was helpful and courteous. Special mention must be given to Yum, our personal rep. She always ensured that anything we might need was supplied and promptly too. Thank you Yum for making our special trip - just that.
• Traveler10419799825 (10/5): Almost everything was perfect, and it is a place I would love to visit again. - HURAWALHI enjoyed truly perfect weather during my visit, and it was impressive to see the general manager actively present and attentive throughout the resort. Almost everything was perfect, and it is a place I would love to visit again. Almost everything was perfect, and it is a place I would love to visit again.
• JING WEN (9/5): -
• rasuoleb (10/5): Best place in Maldives - It was our 4th time at Hurawalhi. We come back every year because that’s how good it is. The reef is awesome for snorkeling — sharks, manta rays, octopus and millions of fish. The villas, the restaurant and the bar are super cozy. The staff truly makes you feel welcome. Thank you, Yum — she’s been our island hostess every time, and she’s such a wonderful person, making our holidays truly special. The food here is amazing too — thanks to Hershel and his whole team. And thank you, Akira, for being so welcoming and making sure our holidays exceeded expectations.
• Freedom17522479906 (10/5): Wonderful holidays - We truly enjoyed every moment of our honeymoon at Hurawalhi. A special thank you to Yum, our wonderful host, who took great care of us throughout our stay and made us feel truly at home. She was incredibly helpful, especially when she helped us find cold medicine when we needed it. She also surprised us with honeymoon souvenir T-shirts, which meant so much to us. The food on the island was absolutely delicious, and experiencing the Christmas dinner was truly eye-opening and unforgettable. There were so many activities to enjoy, and we were very lucky to see sea turtles, manta rays, and blacktip sharks. Our villa was spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We genuinely enjoyed every single day here and will treasure these memories forever.
• 452bellak (10/5): Staff the extra star in an amazing location - From the moment we were welcomed at the airport we knew we’d picked the perfect place. Each and every member of the staff are truly lovely and accommodating. We had a medical issue and they couldn’t be more helpful. Anas was our host and was amazing . Thank you . We would highly recommend this gorgeous place . Overwater villa was lovely. Food fabulous in each restaurant. Entertainment lots of fun. Dive centre and staff exceptional.
• richardpX1908AC (10/5): Perfect Honeymoon hotel! - Absolutely stunning, if you're searching for a honeymoon resort. Adults only; Underwater Restaurant gives you incredible insights; Watersport center is great (we did some jetski, snorkeling, dolphin tour); Island is big enough so you can choose to be private or management will invite you too beach parties. Breakfast and Main restaurant (buffet) is so big, you can't get everything. Also Kashibo (Sushi, Maki...) is great. If you want to see sharks, turtles, dolphins and plenty of fish, that's your resort. Special thanks to Yum, our Villa Host. Also the Spa team, bar and restaurant staff are always nice and kind. It was a perfect holiday!
• Richard (10/5): Perfect honeymoon! - Great honeymoon! Everything is perfect: underwater restaurant, breakfast, bar, snorkeling, dolphin cruise, jetski. We had a Beach Villa and an overwater Villa: both were great. If you want to be on your own, the Island is big enough. If you want Adventure, Management will help you. Special thanks to Yum, our Villa Host!
• 342christophz (10/5): Life is Wonderful - Especially at Hurawalhi Island - This Vacation was a one in a lifetime experience. We have traveled the World for centuries and truly enjoyed this luxurious Hotel and the unmatched service to detail of all members of the staff. We also want to express our special Thanks to Ali our island host. He made our stay very special.
• yenchingl2019 (10/5): Highly recommend - It's our first time and first villa in Maldives, thanks Hurawalhi to give us a wonderful memory. We love the nice and clean island, and warm staff everywhere!
• X9154SRtomw (10/5): Unforgetable memory at Hurawalhi - We came here for our honeymoon and we stayed in a Sunset Pool Villa. We really enjoy every bit of it. From the food to the excursions we had. We love the beach with super soft sand. The environment is super clean that you can walk around the resort barefoot without any issue. The ecology at the house reef and the reefs around the resort is super vivid that we saw a lot of sharks and Eagle Rays. A special thanks to our Island host Sam, for giving us a lot of helpful information about the resort and doing his best to fulfill our needs. Also, we would like to thank members at Prodiver for being super friendly and helpful and taking good care of my wife and me during guided snorkeling.
• 432shivanm (10/5): Superb experience - The trip were extremely amazing. We were hosted by Zayan, he was very professional & efficient in everything that I wanted. The 5.8 undersea waa another level of experience, we had lunch & dinner, both were different experience. The dream island dinner was arranged by Zayan, decorated by Shadeed, cant thank enough on their effort. Further, the food in Hurawalhi is heavenly. We are definitely gling back in couple of months.
• heymensl (10/5): An Unforgettable Honeymoon at Hurawalhi - Our honeymoon at Hurawalhiwas honestly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, beautiful, and effortlessly relaxing. Everywhere we looked, the views were just stunning—like something out of a dream—and it created the perfect setting for such a special trip. We loved the diving—the water was incredibly clear, the marine life was amazing, and the guides made the whole experience fun and comfortable. The food throughout the resort was consistently great too; every meal felt thoughtful and delicious. And the undersea restaurant… wow. It was easily one of the most memorable meals of our lives, both for the food and the magical atmosphere. All the arrangements, from activities to dining to transport, were smooth and easy, which let us truly relax and enjoy ourselves. And of course, a huge heartfelt thank‑you to Elio. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care made such a difference. She really went above and beyond for us, and we’re so grateful for everything she did to make our honeymoon so special.
• shreef (10/5): -
• Elisabeth (1/5): Katastrophe - Positiv: Das Meer und die Unterwasserwelt sind wunderschön. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und das Personal hat immer dafür gesorgt, dass wir unseren Lieblingstisch bekommen. Das Zimmer wurde zweimal täglich gereinigt und war sehr sauber, auch die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Das Spa ist sehr schön und die Massagen waren sehr toll. Das Personal war überwiegend sehr freundlich. Auf der Insel gibt es eine eigene "Zeitzone", wodurch man länger Sonne hat. Das Hotel stellt kostenlos Sonnencreme mit LSF 50, After-Sun und andere Kleinigkeiten zur Verfügung. Negativ: Es gibt nur eine sehr geringe Auswahl an Restaurants, in einem davon kann man nur gegen Vorabreservierung buchen, in dem zweiten Restaurant gibt es nur Fast Food und in dem dritten Restaurant ist das tägliche Angebot sehr ähnlich. Bei "Sonder-Aktivitäten", wie zB Dinner am Strand, muss man trotz All-Inclusive-Paketes sowohl das Essen als auch die Getränke zur Gänze bezahlen. All Inclusive zahlt sich daher nur aus, wenn man nicht jeden Abend etwas Neues erleben will. Das Zimmer war schön, aber nichts Besonderes. Auf jeden Fall zu beachten ist der extreme Lärm, der durch die Außen-Abluftgeräte der Klimaanlagen entsteht und den man sowohl im Zimmer beim Schlafen als auch draußen beim Pool hört! Wir empfehlen eine Pool-Villa am Ende des Steges - wir konnten zum Glück wechseln und in der Villa war es dann meistens ruhig. Insgesamt war alles in Ordnung, jedoch stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht. Katastrophe: Leider hatten wir zum Schluss eine sehr schlechte Erfahrung mit dem Hotel, die den gesamten Urlaub in den Schatten gestellt hat und keine bessere Gesamt-Bewertung zulässt. Unser Abflug ging um 9:30 Uhr (Malé-Zeit). Das Hotel hat das Wasser-Taxi für 6:30 Uhr (Malé-Zeit) bestellt. Wir haben das Hotel mehrfach darauf hingewiesen, dass uns die Zeit zu knapp vorkommt und ob wir das Wasser-Taxi früher bestellen könnten. Insbesondere haben wir gefragt, ob es ein Problem wäre, wenn es in der Früh regnet, weil es bereits die letzten drei Tage immer in der Früh geregnet hat. Das Hotel meinte mehrfach, dass sich alles leicht ausgehen würde. In weiterer Folge konnte das Wasser-Taxi aufgrund des Regens wie erwartet nicht starten und ist 1h zu spät los geflogen. Dennoch wurde nichts unternommen, damit wir unseren Flug trotzdem noch erwischen. Wir wurden erst in das zweite Wasser-Taxi gesetzt, unser Gepäck wurde irgendwo in der Mitte eingeräumt, sodass wir in Malé angekommen nochmals 10 Minuten warten mussten und am Terminal hat uns niemand geholfen, schnell zum Check-In zu kommen. Der Herr vom Hotel meinte nur die ganze Zeit, dass alles besprochen sei und das Flugzeug auf uns warten würde. 5 Minuten später teilte er uns mit, dass der Check-In geschlossen sei und wir unseren Flug nicht mehr nehmen können. Das Schlimmste war aber das Verhalten des Hotels danach. Auf Nachfrage, was wir jetzt tun sollen, meinte er, wir könnten wieder zurück zum Hotel, das Wasser-Taxi hin und zurück sowie das Hotel müssten wir aber selbst bezahlen, da das Hotel keine Schuld habe. Es wurde uns keinerlei Hilfe, Rabatt oder ein sonstiges Entgegenkommen angeboten. Das Hotel hat stets nur betont, dass es keine Schuld trage und es sich um höhere Gewalt handelt. Dass ein Luxus-Hotel mit langjähriger Erfahrung derartige Umstände einberechnen muss und das Wasser-Taxi entsprechend früher bestellen muss, insbesondere wenn es sich bekanntermaßen um die stärkste Regenzeit des Jahres handelt und es auch die Tage davor geregnet hat, scheinen sie nicht verstehen zu wollen. Am Ende hat sich herausgestellt, dass alle anderen Mitreisenden des Wasser-Taxis ihren Abflug um 10:30 Uhr hatten und das Hotel offenbar einfach keine Lust hatte, zwei Wasser-Taxis zu bestellen. Diesem Hotel ist man als Mensch komplett egal, nachdem man sein Geld dort gelassen hat und ich würde aus menschlicher Sicht niemandem einen Besuch dort empfehlen.
• Paradise45189444282 (10/5): A breathtaking trip - The hospitality of the staff, a special thanks to Sam, my personal villa host. He has been amazing during my whole stay. Solo trip to Maldives was beyond my expectations, I have enjoyed every moment. My mind was blown away and my breath was taken all the time!
• 6ausraz (10/5): We returns to the yuoth:)) - We have visited for fifth time, and yet again our stay at Hurawalhi was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The General Manager, Akira, is truly outstanding – professional, attentive, and genuinely caring about every guest’s experience. The food deserves special praise as well. Chef Hershel’s cuisine is simply amazing – every meal was beautifully presented and full of flavor, making dining one of the highlights of our stay. And the deserts are heavenly. The evenings at Hurawalhi were just as special. The music in the evenings is fantastic. A very special thank you goes to our island host, YUM, who felt like a second mother to us. Her warmth, kindness, and constant support made us feel completely at home. Hurawalhi is a paradise not only because of its natural beauty, but also because of the incredible people and experiences that make every guest feel truly special. We cannot wait to return.
• 432vidmantasm (10/5): Like a second home - My time at Hurawalhi was defined by the warmth and attentiveness of the staff, as well as management that was clearly involved and responsive, which gave the resort a much more intimate, boutique-style feel. The food was a real highlight throughout my stay — the Canneli restaurant offered an impressive, ever-changing selection of international and local dishes, and the experience at the 5.8 Undersea Restaurant was truly one of a kind and unforgettable. Evenings were relaxed yet fun, especially on Fridays when DJ AJ sets by the Coco Bar and pool created a lively atmosphere with a subtle 90s throwback vibe. Overall, Hurawalhi delivered an ideal adults-only escape, blending calm, beautiful surroundings during the day with great service, memorable dining, and enjoyable nightlife after sunset. Definitely a recommendation from me, and a guaranteed comeback.
• saw201157 (10/5): Absolutely fabulous - Hurawalhi a wonderful island, we having now visited 25 islands in the Maldives. Looking at the holiday cost, quality accommodation, excellent food and nothing being too much trouble , As my wife is a vegetarian,Thank you to ALL the chefs for their efforts and kindness shown to us.

Thank you to Akira and his team ,Baha,Fazeel,Jessica and Sam ,and to all the staff thank you for making our holidays so enjoyable and rememberable for us, We have just returned after a fabulous two weeks on the island , on our return to catch the sea plane, we were lucky to see a pod of dolphins as we boarded the sea plane , fabulous. we have already decided to return for our ninth visit and now booked to return September 2026 .
• Freedom33359171588 (10/5): Fantastic Experience!! - Nice Place! Nice People! Wonderful Service! Especially our keeper, Zayan! Kindness! Helpfulness! All the arrangements were tailor made.
• Frances (10/5): Fabulous resort with great staff and snorkelling. - Fabulous resort with consistently amazing staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Great villas and snorkelling. The underwater 5.8 restaurant was truely a unique experience. There was nothing major that we didn’t like- just relatively minor things. Communication on flights could have been earlier and better plus taken into account prior stated requests better. Similarly for villa choice.
• Road220877 (10/5): Perfect holiday at beautiful and peaceful Hurawalhi - We had a wonderful holiday at Hurawalhi. We stayed at the ocean pool villa, which was amazing. Room was so spacious, always so tidy and perfectly cleaned. We appriciated how the bed was made twice a day and all the other ”little” things that made us feel so special. The view was breathtaking. We enjoyed spending time our on own pool and balcony. Stairs led from the balcony to the sea and we snorkeled every day. We saw plenty of colorful fish, rays, sharks and turtles. We participated also ProDivers snorkeling courses which were professionally arranged. We received a lot of information about the marinelife and ecosystem. Because of the natural seagrass there are also a lot of turtles and other special marinelife, which we appriciated a lot. Seagrass also prevents erosion so it’s very good that it hasn’t been removed. The food at the buffet restaurant Canneli and JFK was amazing. We visited also 5.8 undersea restaurant where we had 7-course dinner. This was magnificent experience. The food, changing music, day turning into a night and all the fishes around the restaurant was an impressive experience. We visited on Dream Island as well in the morning time and had a light breakfast there. The food was in the nice basket and was very tasty. It was so beautiful and peaceful out there. We saw a group of eagle rays while we swim in the ocean. The staff were so friendly, helpful, and professional, and we appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. Our Island Host Zayan was very kind, extremely helpful and took such good care of us. The island is so beautiful, everything worked so well and our hearts have amazing new memories. All our expectations were exceeded more than we could have imagined. Thank you so much 🇫🇮🇲🇻
• Explorer34288979473 (10/5): An unforgettable trip to Hurawalhi Maldives - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable trip to Hurawalhi Maldives A small spot on Earth – yet a whole universe of relaxation. Hurawalhi is a place where you can truly switch off for the duration of your vacation. Isolated from everyday life, connected with nature, and surrounded by people who work with heart and passion. We had the most incredible stay at Hurawalhi Maldives — hands down one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived until the second we left, the team made us feel genuinely special and so well taken care of. We were constantly amazed by the staff's warmth and proactive hospitality. A huge thank you to Ali, who looked after us throughout our entire stay. He planned all our activities perfectly, checked in on us constantly, and made sure every moment felt personalised. Truly exceptional service. The restaurant and kitchen team also deserve high praise. The food was delicious! Fresh, high quality, varied, and something for every taste. The dessert always artfully arranged. Gorgeous. To the entire breakfast and dinner team: Thank you for starting every morning with a smile and for your excellent, welcoming service in the evening, which made the day perfect. Our waiter Suhail not only knew our drink preferences every day, he also showed us the most beautiful snorkeling spots—it's not every day you see a swimming turtle. Paradise-like. A big thank you for that. The experience at the underwater restaurant 5.8 was breathtakingly amazing! Dining at the highest level surrounded by countless colorful fishes was a once-in-a-lifetime moment! Hurawalhi is not just a resort; it's an experience curated by extraordinary individuals. We cannot wait to return to these paradise. Highly, highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• keithg701 (10/5): the perfect place to stay in the Maldives - For a truly unique experience, amazing scenery, and fantastic wildlife. We received such a warm, friendly service from all who attended to our every need. We will miss all the different wildlife we encountered from fruit bats to turtles and geckos. The colours of the sea and sand are exactly as you see in the pictures. The Hurawalhi hotel is a perfect place to stay in the Maldives.

• sharonK3107GR (10/5): An unforgettable experience, year after year - Our amazing and magical home away from home, that you could ever dream of. The outstanding team meet you off the boat with smiles and traditional welcome, before handing you a refreshing drink and whisking you off through the island to your home for your stay. From this moment you are wrapped in warmth, tranquillity and genuine care that makes every stay feel effortless and unforgettable. We return year after year because there is nowhere else in the world that matches Hurawalhi, Maldives. The staff are the heart of Hurawalhi, their kindness, attention to detail, and authentic hospitality elevate the entire experience throughout your stay. Every member of the team deserve a shout out, but a special mention from us to Harry, Yum, Ali, Fazeel, Casmir, Dilan, Barsha, Tulsa and Palak each of you makes Hurawalhi feel like a second home. The warmth and professionalism of the Hurawalhi team transform this amazing island into a magical place that captures your heart, with WOW moments at every turn. Every return is a reminder of why we wouldn’t choose anywhere else in the world for our time together to make magical moments and memories. Already counting down the days until the next visit.
• 886lesliei (10/5): Wonderful time, ready to go back! - Hurawalhi Island Resort Hurawalhi Exceptional !!! My wife and I just returned from our 10 days and fourth stay at Hurawalhi Island Resort, and once again, it was spectacular. Each visit reminds us why this island has become our absolute favorite escape. Our Beach Sunset Pool Villa offered complete privacy, comfort, and breathtaking views. Watching the sunset from our own pool was an unforgettable highlight and daily event to look forward to. The snorkeling was outstanding. Plenty to see with sharks, turtles, rays, and a bunch of colorful fish. The service and the food were varied and excellent. We had an exceptional team looking after us. • Akan, our host, took care of all our needs with efficiency, and genuine care. • Choki at the spa, best massage ever, and never thought a men's facial could be so relaxing, • Katya, our yogi, who guided us through daily yoga and meditation sessions. • Suresh, whose desserts we looked forward to every single day. • Executive Chef Harshal and Executive Sous Chef Noor, thoughtfully catered to our dietary restrictions. Hurawalhi, simply put a wonderful and magnificent resort. We’re already looking forward to our 5th return. Leslie and Ricki
• Global37899100441 (10/5): A wonderful stay in a extraordinary location - We had a wonderful stay at Hurawalhi Island in a wonderful and extraordinary location. All the staff made any efforts to let us feel like kings and queens! A special thank you goes to Matheen, who served us in our pool villa at my surprise birthday dinner and he was a few days later our private snorkle guide. With his sparkling energy he's such a lovely guy. Also Ravi from the Gym teached a very good Yoga course! Thank you of course also from my side to Sam and Yum, which made our stay unforgettable. We will come again - promised! Suzanne Wirz with René Sidler
• MPTravel7 (10/5): Greatest honeymoon we could have imagined! - We went to this resort for our honeymoon and it was perfect! To begin with the island itself: it is one of the most beautiful islands you can imagine! Great mostly intact housereef basically all around the island. Due to the fact that the resort keeps the natural seagrass you have lots of turtles and other special marinelife which you can see from your overwatervilla. Also the facilities on the island itself are great and well maintained. Next up is the food which is superb! Whether you go to the buffet restaurant (canelli) or the other a la carte restaurants (kashibo/JFK) the quality and taste is amazing! The villas itself are very spacious and extremely clean - there is room service 2 times a day!!! But the island would be nothing without its wonderful staff! They make your stay even more special! Special mentions go to Faruk at Canelli who is the most heartwarming and friendly person you can imagine. Also Jessica, Suresh and Shurey made our meals very special. We could go on mentioning more staff but basically they where all great. In general if you like a resort that doesn’t feel overcrowded and where you can relax and enjoy your holiday you’re at the right adress! The only unfortunate thing are some of the guests themselves who seem not to be educated or don’t care about NOT STEPPING ON CORALS!!!! It would be nice to see more steps taken to ensure that the guests value the mostly intact reef and it would be nice if it stay’s that way.
• sswm (10/5): Hirawahli is a lovely little barefoot traditional island we enjoyed very much! - My husband and I visited the Maldives for the 8th time recently and did a 3 split stay over 3 weeks. Hurawahli was our 3rd resort and our 19th resort overall . We arrived in Hura and were met with the drums and a warm welcome from the friendly GM and assistant GM Mr Bahau who could not have been any kinder to us during our stay, he really made our stay special! . We spent quite a bit of time chatting with the friendly GM also who is Japanese….. Akira Shiota. We talked mostly about the seafood business and Japan as we were in Japan a few weeks ago our 3rd trip and a favorite country. Our butler Afrah gave us the island tour and took us to our villa of choice 259 the last one on the jetty. So happy to be assigned this room as it feels like the best one on the jetty! Hura is an intimate little island which feels similar to PHH in size and vibes…… It typically takes us a couple days to settle in and get a proper feel for the resort , The room at Hura is smaller than Dusit and less upscale than # 51 at PHH with its floor to ceiling glass but it is really lovely, with an understated elegance and the deck is quite large with a comfortable sofa with colorful pillows to hang out in. The 2 person large open air shower in the bathroom is a nice touch! The views are stunning , a rainbow of aqua colors to the horizon broken up only by the blindingly beautiful white sand bank shimmering in the distance. There are other islands within the view so it is not as remote as PHH but like Como Cocoa which we loved it is not a deal breaker and everything else makes up for it. The deck however does not feel quite as private as the other 2 resorts we visited this trip. The food at Canneli the buffet restaurant is absolutely amazing , top tier for the Maldives and of Michelin star quality with artistic flair and presentation . There are a handful of this quality that we have found in our 19 resorts…..to our surprise we even had fresh oysters flown in from France every evenings we were there! . We have been very impressed with the food at every meal as well as the dining atmosphere in the buffet which is very romantic and lovely in the evenings with tables lined up along the waters edge and the mood lighting in the palms. . I think we will be taking all our meals in the buffet although I’m certain the other restaurants including the 5.8 undersea are a delicious gourmet experience as well! Coco bar is in a gorgeous setting near the pool but we were a bit surprised there was no happy hour …. We had the pleasure and privilege of meeting the executive head chef at breakfast Harshal Antil this morning and chatting with him and the assistant GM for some time. He is from India and is also in charge of the upscale sister resort kudadoo Maldives private island. We are foodies and especially enjoyed talking with him about all things seafood including the smoked fish which we do for subsistence purposes in Alaska . He is on top of his game and was voted Maldivian chef of the year which is quite an honor in the Maldives. The dreamy, “take your breath away” beauty of Hurawahli island and the multicolored turquoise waters surrounding it are exquisite ! From the champagne pavilion at the end of the jetty the lagoon stretching out behind it towards the sunset is reminiscent of room 245 in Vakkaru with endless shades of blues and greens reflecting in the sunlight. Did I say how much we enjoyed this island? I need to mention the reef! We swam clockwise from our room the first day and made it to the end of the island and headed back the same way . I think the length of the jetty is the same length as the island itself.. we saw large schools of the tropical fish all sizes and colors as well as a huge stingray resting on the sandy bottom , numerous black tips and turtles…..we had fair current for awhile then fought the current coming back up the reef. It’s not a circular island you swim around rather you lose the drop off for awhile near the jetty’s and boating areas then pick it up again. Today we swam around the island but we went out from our room and turned left which worked out much better ! The end of the island out from the overwater villas is very fishy and we saw 4 eagle rays , many turtles and black tips….. it was fair current all down the other side of the jetty where the even numbered rooms are and we didn’t get the current against us until we were around the undersea restaurant area on the other side then it was a little push to swim back to our villa 259 …the reef is quite good and we feel fortunate all three islands have had amazing reefs ! There is a well located gym with views out over the water and a game room which we have used often to play ping pong. It is an unpretentious adults only low key island which suits us well and we enjoyed it immensely ! We loved lazing on the deck after our swims, our infinity pool was a good size the biggest of the 3 resorts by far…. The staff was all lovely and full of smiles! , I can’t name them all but Afrah our butler was helpful, our house cleaner Asset did a great job . Waiters Anees, Jessica, Shurrey, Salaam and the others were wonderful ! We highly recommend little Hurawahli a traditional barefoot island for a dreamy and romantic stay in the mesmerizing Maldives !
• Piotr (10/5): - Hello, it's very difficult to answer the question of what I liked most, because we liked everything. I'm a picky traveler, but Hurawalhi surprised me very positively at every stage of my stay. The welcome, cleanliness, attractions, delicious food, and above all, the kindness of the people working there is invaluable. A huge thank you to our caretaker, Maudey, you're amazing. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and memories. We hope to see you again. Best regards, Piotr and Magda
• X5714DFdavidj (10/5): Our sixteenth visit - This was our sixteenth visit. Do we really need to say more as we clearly love it? It is so well run and so beautiful with great food and a great house reef. It is adults only which is a fundamental requirement of ours. It is peaceful with plenty of space.
• theresortscollection (10/5): Not the most luxurious but definitely among our favorites in the Maldives! - We spent 5 nights at Hurawalhi in August 2025 and the experience was far better than we imagined. We're used to the most luxurious properties in the world, and specifically in the Maldives (having visited both Four Seasons, Soneva Jani, Fushi, The Nautilus, One&Only, Waldorf Astoria, Kudadoo, Gili, Anantara Kihavah, Milaidhoo and many many more...) and did not really know what to expect with Hurawalhi. So, first things first, it is NOT a resort that looks luxurious. The villas are maybe its biggest "weakness" as they are very basic with a debatable decoration (yet, we've been informed during our stay that a renovation is planned to make them look more modern). So, if you are looking for incredibly spacious and design villas, it's not the place for you. A resort like Waldorf Astoria, Four Seasons Landaa or Cheval Blanc would for sure be a better choice...but also a MUCH more expensive one. But that "not amazing" villa is maybe THE only thing that is not great at Hurawalhi. Yes, we loved EVERYTHING else. The service, the food, the snorkeling (easy and super fishy), the island, the fact that it is adults-only, the games room, the padel and tennis court, the absolutely phenomenal 5.8 underwater restaurant and the overall vibe/atmosphere of the resort which is super hard to describe just with words. Hurawalhi is NOT the most luxurious. Hurawalhi is also by far NOT the most expensive. But it is for sure one of our favorites because it ticks all the boxes, at the exception of amazing/modern/spacious villa. Anyway, when you go to the Maldives, it's not to stick in your villa. Or, at least, you'll be enjoying your terrace and not be inside the villa. And when talking about the outside, it's really good. We stayed in the Ocean Pool Villa and the pool was super spacious and deep. So, even though we're not huge fans of the inside of the villa, the outside was definitely good enough for us. The main reasons why we loved Hurawalhi so much is because of its amazing value for money. The price is extremely fair in comparison to what you get. The level of service and food, for that price, is clearly unmatched in the Maldives. Bottom line: if you are looking for a romantic resort (adults-only, super couple focused) with great food, great service, great snorkeling and overall, an amazing value for money, Hurawalhi will REALLY be hard to beat. We will definitely go back (with a combination with Kudadoo, of course!). PS: special mention to our amazing buttler, Anas, who was phenomenal! Thanks again!
• virginiavC428FD (10/5): Paradise on earth - It was our second time coming to this paradise. As the first time, it was a truly enchanting moment to relax and destress. The staff is excellent. DJ AJ put on the best mixed music during the dance night, he played me a birthday song since it was my bday. Chef Faruk made us smile each time we saw him and his food was excellent, waiter Anees assisted us in most perfect way. Channa from fitness center was also good in adapting the exercises to each person we had a great time, also lady from meditation and yoga were perfect. Spa treatments were very relaxing and restoring, perfect pressure. Water sports center was also great and snorkeling team, very precise and experts helping you learn new techniques, very secure and professional. Last but not least our island host Naji was great as last year, always available and truly devoted in making our holiday the best one yet!!
• louisecA251JU (10/5): The most fantastic holiday I have ever had. Treated like royalty 24/7. - This is the most fantastic holiday I have ever been on, without a doubt the holiday of a lifetime. From arrival until departure, we were treated like royalty. When we left on the speedboat to get our seaplane, I looked back and saw the team waving us off. This almost made me cry.
• Ieva (10/5): Perfect honeymoon! - Beautiful beaches. Amazing and caring staff. Perfect place for snorkeling, saw sharks, turtles, rays, and a lot of fish! The place is not overcrowded, so perfect for couples. Beaches are almost always empty, giving the privacy for each couple. Plenty of water activities available. Wish sunrise and sunset yoga classes could accommodate more people - we couldn't book because of limited places and they only happen 2x per week
• Gandham11 (10/5): The most amazing honeymoon! - This was our first time at Hurawalhi celebrating 3 special occasions during our time here. The first being our honeymoon and the second and third being both of our birthdays 3 days apart during our stay. I cannot fault the staff who do the absolute best they can to ensure guests have a memorable stay. Our island host Afrah responded to our calls fast and always fulfilled our needs within minutes no matter the time of day he welcomed us warmly and helped us learn our way around. Whether you need a buggy or simply need and ironing board of notice that the hair dryer stopped working, Afrah was great at resolving all of these for us promptly and we cannot thank him enough. Despite all staff being amazing some names are really worth mentioning, Suhail became a good friend of ours and advised us on how we can build our confidence with snorkelling he always worked hard during breakfast and dinner to accomodate all guests and ensure my wife had her favourite daily iced latte. Imane and Kuldeep welcomed us to the Monday management drinks on the beach and answered all of our questions about life on the island in detail, my wife and I had a wonderful conversation with them about what the routine is like for staff members living on the island! We never came across any unfriendly staff members, all staff are genuinely enjoying their jobs and love this island which enhances the experience for guests and it is one thing we admire about this place. Cashmir, Palak and Barsha always gave a warm welcome us for our evening drink in the coco bar thank you so much guys for your service and for nailing our beverage needs fast every time. These guys always had a smile and there was nothing they couldn't do. Another massive thanks to all the guys on the live stations cooking breakfast and dinner, namely Khalil, Rahul and Faruk these guys have amazing talents and managed to cook a wide range of foods to perfection every single time nothing was rushed and the quality was consistent every single day big well done to all of the chefs. On one evening we were unhappy with a dish served to us in our Villa, Rasheed was amazing and certainly did more than make the dish again he made our experience truly a moment to remember from a minor incident, it turned our situation from something negative into something extremely positive so well done Rasheed and keep up the good work! Lastly, the service by the swimming pool was phenomenal, from the moment we sat down on the sun loungers everyday, within seconds Rohan was prepared with a tray including some sun lotion, hydrating mist, moisturiser, a glass of water and some cold towels before asking us what we would like to drink. I truly cannot say anything negative about this place nor can I add any more emphasis, to all who are considering the Hurawalhi island and resort - go ahead and book I am certain you will love it just as much as we did. This trip was made more than memorable for us and we will be returning to stay with our friends at Hurawalhi soon wish you all the best!
• X909QQandyb (10/5): Perfection in every detail, the dream honeymoon location - Hurawalhi. Wow. My wife and I chose this island for our honeymoon, and while we expected something incredible, what we experienced was absolute perfection. Throughout our stay, we genuinely couldn’t find a single thing—big or small—that we’d change. The island, facilities, staff, and food were simply the best we’ve ever encountered, by a long way. First, a special mention to Noza, our wonderful island host. She was outstanding—nothing was ever too much trouble. Whether it was arranging last-minute restaurant bookings, sorting out any request at any hour, or even picking us up for a lift with her warm smile, she went above and beyond to make our stay as seamless and special as possible. Next, Azid, our fantastic waiter, who greeted us every day as if we were old friends. He always took the time to chat about our day and shared brilliant tips on where to snorkel and what to explore around the island. We also have to mention Casmir, the bar manager and one of the friendliest people we’ve ever met. By our second day he knew our names and our favourite drinks, often surprising us with his “special cocktails” when we couldn’t decide what to have—each one perfectly made and delicious. Finally, Shiham, our incredible room attendant, kept our villa immaculate and beautifully scented every day (twice a day!). The thoughtful honeymoon decorations and creative touches he left for us made our stay even more memorable. He was always polite, considerate, and happy to work around us if we were relaxing in the room. The house reef was vibrant, colourful, and bursting with marine life. Both the snorkelling and scuba diving were world-class—without question, the most breathtaking underwater experiences we’ve ever had. And then there’s 5.8 Undersea Restaurant—just, wow. We loved it so much we went twice. The food was exquisite, and the setting was beyond words: surrounded on all sides (and even above) by crystal-clear water teeming with sharks, fish, and other incredible sea life. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience you’ll never forget. Every single member of staff we met during our stay was exceptional—friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about making guests feel special. By the second day, everyone seemed to know our names, greeting us with warmth and sincerity wherever we went. The food across all the restaurants was consistently outstanding—the best version of every dish we tried. Hurawalhi is in a league of its own. The island, the people, and the atmosphere combine to create something truly magical. We left with full hearts, wonderful memories, and an unshakable desire to return. If you’re considering this resort—don’t hesitate. It will exceed every expectation.
• YUKI (10/5): -
• ursg2016 (10/5): Friendliness, cleanliness, no insects, peace and quiet, an amazing sandy beach, and snorkeling like in an aquarium right - We had high expectations because we had heard so many positive things. Hurawalhi exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, Nosa took excellent care of us right from the start. All our wishes were fulfilled immediately. I would particularly like to mention the chefs, who greeted us with a smile every morning and prepared the meals with love. We would also like to mention Suhail, who welcomed us every day with a smile and shared his snorkeling experiences with us. Thank you very much. Our room service with Faiz took care of our room twice a day. You could feel his dedication, and we felt very comfortable in our room because of it. I would also like to mention the many people who kept the grounds, beach, and paths in perfect condition every day. Because of this, we were able to walk barefoot on the island the entire week. Conclusion: Hurawahli is worth a visit and one thing is certain, we will be back. Best regards from Switzerland
• isobelg167 (10/5): 🌴 Honeymoon Bliss at Hurawalhi: A 5-Star Paradise Beyond Expectations 🌊 - If you're searching for an exceptional five-star honeymoon experience, look no further than Hurawalhi Island Resort. From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a magical escape that exceeded all expectations. Overwater Villa Views & Coral Reef Wonders • Our overwater villa offered breath taking panoramic views—sunrises and the shimmering turquoise lagoon at the bottom of our villa, were simply unforgettable. • The house reef was a snorkeller’s dream: crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life. It felt like swimming in a living aquarium. • The marine biologist team added a fascinating layer to our experience with their educational talks and reef tours—truly enriching and eye-opening. Ocean-Conscious Living & Thoughtful Touches • The villa was stocked with eco-friendly products—from nourishing hair care to reef-safe sunscreen and mosquito repellent—all ocean-conscious and luxurious. • These small but meaningful perks made us feel pampered while respecting the environment. Culinary Delights Across the Island • Every restaurant delivered a delectable treat for the taste buds. Freshly prepared dishes, bursting with flavour, were a daily highlight. • Huge thanks to the Executive Chef and the entire culinary team for their artistry and care. Coco Bar Magic & Unforgettable Staff • The Coco Bar team—Casmir, Barsha, Bahua, Suranga, Rohan, and Palak—made us feel like VIPs every single day. • Their warm smiles, impeccable service, and personal touches (like remembering our names!) made us feel truly special. We miss you already! Spa Serenity & Healing Moments • Tiara at the spa worked wonders on my lower back pain. Her treatment, paired with views of the ocean floor, was pure bliss. • Highly recommend booking a session—it’s healing for body and soul. 🙌 Special Thanks & Heartfelt Gratitude • Akan was incredibly helpful with our bookings and guided us to the best snorkelling spots. • Bahuddeen, the resort manager, added extra touches that made our honeymoon unforgettable. We loved chatting with you! • The bracelet pass to our villa was a charming keepsake—we’ve tucked it into our honeymoon memory box. One Minor Hiccup • The only downside (outside Hurawalhi’s control) was the 5-hour wait at the seaplane departure lounge after a long-haul flight. Seaplane operators—please improve your coordination! 💖 Final Thoughts Hurawalhi is a sanctuary of luxury, nature, and heartfelt hospitality. Every staff member radiated positivity and warmth. We’re already planning our return and give this paradise a glowing 5 out of 5. Thank you, Hurawalhi, for making our honeymoon a dream come true
• DanielP8611 (10/5): Memories of a lifetime. Can't wait to be back! - We went to Hurawalhi for our honeymoon and the entire experience, from arrival to departure was nothing short of breathtaking. The Hurawalhi staff, the food, the beauty of the island and the house reef, every single touch was incredible. And our island host, Yum, well what can I say. She was incredible! From the moment we stepped foot on the resort, she made us feel welcome and thought of every single detail to make our honeymoon the best possible time ever. She continously gave us great tips, made recommendations and ensured we did not miss out on things that we would truly enjoy. She was extremely kind and friendly, and clearly loves her job! Thank you so much Yum for ensuring our stay was amazing!! In terms of the resort itself, the island is gorgeous, the spa is super zen and the house reef is amazing. We constantly saw stingrays, sharks and turtles, right outside of our over-water villa, and on each and every snorkel we went on. The marine life is fantastic, and you quickly get used to swimming with these beautiful creatures. The activities at Hurawalhi are endless, the maldivian night in particular was super fun and a highlight for us. We also really enjoyed the discover scuba diving sessions with the amazing staff at the Prodivers shop, as well as a manta ray search with the amazing marine biologist on site. The food, the quality of the service and all of the little details were exquisite. I highly recommend considering the all inclusive package here if you can go for it, as even the 'standard' Canneli buffet is INCREDIBLE. That being said, the other highlight was without a doubt, the 5.8 underwater restaurant. As Yum pointed out, it is great to go around 6PM in the evening, in fact even a little earlier, as you get to grab the seat you want if you arrive early. Seeing the restaurant both in daylight and at night time is fantastic. The sommelier there also really knew his stuff - the wine pairing with the food was awesome. I just cannot find the right words to describe how much we enjoyed staying at Hurawalhi, and how badly we want to go back. Without a doubt, you will not regret going here. Huge shoutout to the entire Hurawalhi team and staff. We can't wait to be back. - Daniel & Ezgi
• Alexzhou45 (10/5): A Perfect Holiday. - We went to Hurawalhi at the end of October 2025 to celebrate my wife's and my 10-year wedding anniversary. We stayed for 6 nights. It truly exceeded all our expectations. The location, the food, and most importantly, the people at this resort are outstanding. Everything from start to finish was how a perfect holiday should be. With the added bonus of dining at a very special restaurant, 5.8, our stay at Hurawalhi will be remembered and cherished forever. A special mention to our host, Maudey, who was excellent and at our disposal for any questions or arrangements we needed. The best housekeeper we ever met, Ibrahim, worked effortlessly every day, keeping our rooms spotless with a smile. Hassan, who worked at the main buffet restaurant, looked after us very well, topping up drinks and clearing plates. To all the staff I have not mentioned, it was a pleasure seeing you all with a smile every day. We don't normally stay at the same resort twice when we are on holiday; we like to travel and experience different places. But for this resort, we will make an exception because it's that special! Looking forward to staying Hurawalhi again.
• Stay62049513291 (10/5): Outstanding - We visited Hurawalhi Resort with our family and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Everything – from the food to the service – was truly 10/10. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and every detail felt carefully thought out. The resort itself is stunning, with crystal-clear water, white sandy beaches, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to completely relax. We’re already dreaming about coming back – and we definitely will! 💛
• NJtipsie (10/5): Amazing resort - Fantastic resort, perfect for couples. Amazing food and service. Great value . Diving out of this world , try the scooters!
• Martin6385 (10/5): Just Perfect! - The island is simply paradise. From the organization of arrival to departure, the staff are always eager to fulfill every wish. All facilities are of a very high standard and offer superb service. One thing I would like to mention in particular is the house reef. Compared to other islands, they have a vibrant and beautiful coral reef here.
• hugog985 (10/5): It’s otherworldly! It leaves you speechless! - To begin with, it’s one of the best overwater bungalows and front beach rooms beautiful experiences anywhere in the world, just comparable to atolls in French Polynesia. But the food is way better, even though I love French cuisine. And the service is above and beyond what we could have been expecting, and we were expecting a lot. I’d like to mention specially Ms Yum who was in charge of our every need, “24/7” as she gracefully explained the first day. You’ll do right if you check the 5.8 Restaurant Web site, and remember that no pictures or videos can prepare you one of the best dining experiences of your life. It took us 6 flights to get to Hurawalhi and we would do it again.
• Excursion37037505829 (10/5): Maldives luxury for adults: Hurawalhi’s underwater restaurant and dreamy villas wowed us. - Hurawalhi Island Resort is an amazing place for adults only in the Maldives. It's got super luxurious villas and the world's largest all-glass underwater restaurant, 5.8 Undersea. The place has a really tranquil and refined atmosphere, which is perfect for couples looking for romance, amazing food and stunning views of the water. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in the Maldives.
• claudedaniela2025 (10/5): A paradise island with excellent service and food - We were looking for a relatively small resort to have a relaxing holiday and Hurawalhi was the perfect place. It has just 90 villas, we booked one built over the sea to fully enjoy the calming sound of the waves, very good food and very friendly hosts looking after you. Food was delicious, the ocean is full of colourful fish (you get snorkelling gear when you arrive) and you can if you feel so do all kinds of water sports - or just relax as we did and enjoy this peaceful (no screaming kids…) paradise island.
• casemiromior (10/5): Amazing stay at Hurawalhi - It was definitely an amazing experience, the place is super beautiful and the service a solid 10! The food is very good, and specially the invilla dining quality was off the charts! We'll be back!
• M3577EQcheryla (10/5): Hurawalhi is a great resort in Maldives!! - A great place for rest and relaxation. Perfect getaway. Good support staff. Great overwater villa. Good food. Highly recommended! Won’t disappoint at all.
• _N438BU (10/5): unforgettable holiday - We have just spent an unforgettable holiday at your resort, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff for their attentive service, which made our journey enjoyable and comfortable. We would especially like to thank our guest host Ali, who was incredibly considerate from the moment we arrived. He assisted us with our check-in, provided various information and suggestions, answered our queries, and ensured everything went smoothly and pleasantly. His professional attitude and warm smile made us feel very welcomed. Additionally, we greatly appreciated a staff Suhail from the beverage department, whose attentiveness and enthusiasm made the time that we were in the Canneil restaurant experience truly special. Each time we needed anything, he was eager to recommend special beverages and explain their features, allowing us to feel their expertise and sincerity. Rather than saying we got to know two excellent employees, it would be more accurate to say we made some wonderful friends. Not only did they provide professional service that enhanced our experience, but they also shared their stories and engaged in conversation, helping us better understand Maldivian culture, which we truly appreciated. Ali took care of us like a father, it's hard to imagine a better host than him. We feel incredibly fortunate to have encountered him, which contributed to such an unforgettable journey. At Canneil Restaurant, there was also a very thoughtful employee named Adam. Although we didn't have much opportunity to interact with him, I believe he must be an excellent staff member as well! In fact, the entire journey was essentially perfect. However, Ali mentioned that to further enhance the quality of the resort, even the smallest details should be brought up. So, we made an effort to think of some suggestions. For example, having transparent or glass-bottom kayaks would be quite nice! And again, this trip was made smooth and enjoyable largely due to your team's efforts. We hope to visit again in the future and enjoy your exceptional service once more.
• jillmariem2017 (10/5): Great food and drinks in absolute paradise! - Hurawalhi does an exceptional job with their service and guest experiences. In the way that is not too in your face, just perfect! All the staff are so kind and helpful. The quality of food and drink are some of the best we have experienced at a resort. The grounds are pristine and so beautiful. We enjoyed snorkeling along the edge of the house reef. We saw beautiful colorful fish, reef sharks, sting ray, eagle ray and even a sea turtle. The villa is so comfortable and spacious. I miss those pillows they were amazing! The room comes with everything you need (even a rain coat and umbrella). Amenities in the bathroom were great. The island is small and very walkable, but you can also call for a gulf cart to take you to where you need to go. Please do not hesitate to go here this place is the perfect slice of paradise! I cannot wait to go back!
• Fresern (10/5): 11/10! - Perfect stay, great service and overall mindblowing experience. We would gladly recommend travelling to Hurawalhi. We spent our honeymoon there and could not have been more blown away.
• C4729SJmitchellm (10/5): Faultless Paradise - Literally Paradise! Honestly Faultless!! We have never experienced service like this. Food was unbelievable and we are foodies. We wouldnt change a thing. We stopped on an overwater bungalow. Room was super clean and the bed was best night sleep we have ever had. Thanks so much Hurawalhi we will be back.
• Roam53370555555 (10/5): The best vocation! - The best impressions from our first visit to the Maldives. Thanks to our assistant Hajar for accompanying us during our vacation. Lots of activities, a beautiful reef, delicious cuisine, and friendly and considerate staff. The hotel is clean, the rooms are fresh, and the housekeeping was excellent. We celebrated two holidays at Hurawalli, and both times they prepared complimentary gifts for us and decorated the table especially for our occasions. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back next season.
• VeganChanC9 (10/5): An unforgettable trip - The island was beautiful and the villas were clean. The Ocean Pool Villa had a private infinity pool which was great for chilling out, while the Romantic Ocean Villa had a hammock on the sundeck which was perfect for spotting marine life. A green sea turtle could be seen every morning from our sun deck. Dolphins were also spotted every morning at breakfast, Host looked after us very well and attended to our requests. Food and beverages were great. Very vegan-friendly too. Staff were helpful and friendly. Photo/video team was fantastic! They produced a breathtakingly stunning video for us in just one morning. A fabulous island for snorkelling, watersports, watching marine animals and simply having a wonderful time.
• Steve (10/5): -
• yakubetz (10/5): Hotel Review (9.8/10) - We stayed at Hurawalhi from September 29 to October 10 — ten days of absolute pleasure and relaxation. The resort left us with the warmest impressions and made us feel like we had arrived in a little piece of paradise from the very first minutes. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The island itself is small, which only adds to the coziness: few people, complete silence, a sense of seclusion and peace. The design is exquisite — natural wood, warm tones, an atmosphere of authenticity and harmony with nature. Our Sunset Beach Villa was stunning — a private terrace with its own pool, surrounded by greenery. The villa had everything we needed: air conditioning, a large comfortable bed, a great shower, perfect lighting — everything worked flawlessly. Housekeeping came twice a day with fresh towels and linens. The staff were attentive, discreet, and the villa was always spotless and perfectly tidy. The food deserves a special mention. Almost every day — fresh oysters, tuna and salmon sashimi, reef fish, meat dishes — everything was delicious! We mostly dined at Canneli Restaurant, which is truly a place you want to return to again and again. We also had several lunches at JFK — absolutely fantastic! The chefs and waiters are real professionals: friendly, smiling, yet never intrusive. The sashimi and pasta stood out in particular — always incredibly fresh and flavorful. We visited the à la carte Asian restaurant — beautifully decorated, dinner by the ocean under the moonlight, incredibly romantic. However, the food itself was rather ordinary: the dumplings tasted as if they had been refrozen, and the Tom Yum soup was disappointing. The dishes lacked a distinctive touch, but the setting, atmosphere, and view of the ocean more than made up for it. We also went to the underwater restaurant for lunch (extra charge) — and it was pure magic. An unforgettable experience well worth the cost. The food was tasty, but the main focus there is on the atmosphere and emotions — and that’s absolutely fine. Beach and ocean. It seems we came during a season (late September – early October) when a lot of seagrass grows near the shore. It starts just a few meters from the beach, so for swimming, you either need to go a bit farther out or move to another spot. It’s perfect for snorkeling — lots of fish — but if, like me, you simply enjoy calm swimming, it can slightly spoil the experience. We were hoping mostly to swim in the ocean rather than snorkel, so that was a minor downside. The pool at our villa had a bit of a greenish tint — probably just a matter of age or material, and nothing that could really be cleaned off. It bothered us a little at first, but we soon stopped noticing — everything else easily overshadowed this small imperfection. Service was exceptional. Our host Hajar was incredibly attentive and caring — she helped with everything from dinner reservations to activity recommendations. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Transfers were perfectly organized: a seaplane flight followed by a short boat ride — all smooth and timely, no waiting. We were greeted and seen off with genuine warmth, and at departure, they even gifted us a framed photo with our names — such a touching and thoughtful gesture. Activities and relaxation. I visited the spa — absolute bliss, an hour and a half of pure relaxation. We also went jet skiing and on a private fishing trip, both were great experiences. In the evenings, there was live music, and occasionally traditional Maldivian nights with dances and songs — very atmospheric, never loud or intrusive, just perfect for a peaceful stay. Overall, the resort left the impression of a truly special place — one you want to return to. Everything — from the design and service to the food and overall vibe — is done with heart and care. A few minor details can’t spoil the big picture. Hurawalhi is a place where you can truly unwind, enjoy nature, flavors, peace, and the genuine hospitality of the team. If you’re looking for comfort, privacy, high-level service, and the atmosphere of a true island paradise — this is exactly the place.
• Ahmad (9/5): -
• Joann (10/5): Absolutely perfect island paradise! - Our stay at Hurawahli Resort was nothing short of exceptional. The standard of the resort facilities were brilliant including the amazing variety of restaurants on offer. We especially enjoyed our dinner at 5.8 the undersea restaurant and a Teppanyaki lunch but all the meals we had were faultless. The staff are nothing short of brilliant no matter where you are on the island and not only are they super friendly and helpful, but they are also highly discreet when completing their daily duties. We also enjoyed the spa facilities which were amazing. The island app is fantastic as it allows you to book activities and restaurants at your leisure and the communication with the resort was 10/10 the whole time from the planning stage right through to arrival and departure where they arrange absolutely everything so your stay is super relaxing and stress free. We can’t recommend this resort enough and if anyone is considering visiting the Maldives then you can’t go past this place. That we had to leave this paradise island. We could have easily stayed longer as it was perfect.
• 633cheekym (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Stay at Hurawalhi Island Resort - I had an absolutely incredible experience at Hurawalhi Island Resort. Everything about my stay was simply perfect — from the stunning surroundings to the exceptional service. I booked an overwater villa, which was truly the highlight of my trip. The room was beautiful, peaceful, and offered pure tranquility — the sound of the ocean and the view made it an unforgettable experience. The resort’s restaurants were fantastic, offering a wide variety of delicious food and different choices each day. The hospitality from the entire team was outstanding — everyone went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well looked after. A special mention to Maudey, who provided an exceptional one-to-one service throughout my stay. He made sure all my requests, reservations, and any assistance I needed were handled seamlessly. I would definitely recommend Hurawalhi Island Resort to anyone looking for a luxury escape filled with peace, beauty, and world-class service. I’ll definitely be booking again!

The rooms are very nicely finished we were staying in an over water pool villa. We had our personal butler Afrah who arranged everything for us who is an absolute attribute to Hurawahli he was fabulous in all aspects. The island is spotless & cleaned every day. The restaurants 5.8 underwater, Kashibo, JFK ( junk food kitchen) & Canelli ( buffet) all served up fabulous treats & the choices were bountiful even for the most picky travellers! cocoa bar next to JFK was run by Casmir & his team who went out of their way for us each & every time we saw them & it was an absolute pleasure to see them each & every day They have nightly entertainment which is mostly very relaxing but the highlight on Thursday night when they have the Maldivian themed night....fabulous I dived pretty much everyday with Ines dive instructor who went out of her way to take me to different dive sites where we saw so many Fish, turtles, sharks, dolphins & even a hornet ray ( v rare) It was a magical experience & we will definitely return to see all our friends at Hurawahli ❤️
• Z3046EPevas (10/5): Outstanding!! - Outstanding experience - we will definitely return. Compliments to the Dive Center!! We are a family of four, all diving - and all of the crew, including an excellent boat crew, was outstanding. A special thanks to our one and only dive master Robyn. You really made our dives special. Your spirit, good mood and knowledge made these great dives even better. Underwater variety is excellent, we have a special interest in larger creatures such as sharks etc. and we were extremely happy with some dives with 150+ sharks at one spot - plus rays, plus turtles, etc etc The culinary experience is excellent, in terms of variety, but also quality. We also enjoyed an excellent massage at the Spa - contrary to many (also luxury) resorts, the pressure was just right. And our host Maudey was great! He did a marvellous job looking after us and fulfilled every wish. Also our waiter at Canelli, Anees, was super friendly and attentive. We were also impressed by Casmir, the manager of Coco Bar, who remembered every name (!) and is a very friendly host. Finally, also the General Manager Akira Shiota as well as the Resort Manager Bahauddeen we have interesting conversations with, we enjoyed their company and look forward to seeing them again.
• Jasso88 (10/5): Amazing 5star experience! - Amazing stay in Hurawalhi! We had the most wonderful honeymoon — I honestly can’t imagine a more luxurious and relaxing place to stay. Our pool villa was spotless and absolutely beautiful. The All Inclusive Plus package is a must-have — even includes a nice selection of wines in your personal wine cabin The staff were just incredible! Our island host Afrah was 6/5 — truly exceptional — and restaurant host Fazeel was also superb. The food overall was at fine-dining level. We’ll definitely return to Hurawalhi. A truly 5-star experience in every way! 🌴✨
• 806mitchv (10/5): Serious luxury vacation for serious scuba divers. - My wife and I were looking to do some serious scuba diving with an exclusive, relaxing, luxury resort experience. Hurawalhi was the perfect solution for this. Never had a better diving experience, and every other detail of the result far surpassed expectations.
• domk408 (10/5): First Maldives trip and cannot wait to return! - We recently stayed at Hurawalhi for 8 nights are part of our honeymoon and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience we had. Our host (Afrah) was amazing and nothing was ever too much for him. Conrad in the bar was also really friendly and went out of his way to make us feel at home throughout our stay. The resort is stunning and the dining options are superb - especially JFK, 5.8 and Kashibo. Would 100 recommend!
• TravellingChrisS (10/5): Amazing Hurawalhi holiday - We had the best 10 day stay at Hurawalhi. We took the internal domestic flight from Male to Madivaru, and were collected by the team from Hurawalhi and then took a 10 minute speed boat ride to the resort. The check in process was quick, we were allocated our point of contact island host, Ali (who was great), had a tour of the island and then taken to our romatic sunset sea villa. The villa itself was spacious and immaculate, and had great amenities including the mini bar and toiletries. The house reef is extensive and we had great fun snorkling and seeing all the local sealife. We were also very fortunate to see the dolphins come into the bay. The food at the Canneli restaurant was varied and good quality, we had some great cocktails at the Coco bar and an amazing dinner at 5.8 (would highly recommend). all the staff were very friendly but a specific mention should go to Ali, Anoosh, Fazeel, Harry and Ahmed. This was a our third stay in the Maldives and it was the best resort we've been to so far.
• Flyer11770707082 (10/5): A Dreamlike Honeymoon Beyond Imagination at Hurawalhi - We spent our honeymoon at Hurawalhi, and it was truly beyond our imagination. The island was stunning — endless blue skies, drifting white clouds, and palm trees dancing over crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand. We loved dining at Canneli. The food was excellent, especially the beef dishes, chef’s pasta and stir-fried creations. The service was exceptional. All staff were warm, friendly, and attentive. Our villa host Jojo was wonderful, she took care of every detail and prepared thoughtful honeymoon surprises that made us feel genuinely cared for and truly special. The 5.8 Undersea Restaurant was breathtaking, an absolutely magical dining experience surrounded by colorful marine life. Land Lunch was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We went snorkeling and saw countless beautiful fish and even a few baby sharks swimming nearby. We also joined the Sunset Cruise and very lucky to see playful dolphins jumping in the golden light. One morning, we even spotted dolphins right from our ocean villa. Everything about Hurawalhi exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect place to celebrate honeymoon, and we would love to return one day!
