Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Service at Hurawalhi 💙
We had the most incredible time at Hurawalhi — truly a paradise on earth. The island itself is breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters, stunning sunsets, and luxurious facilities. But what made our stay truly unforgettable was the exceptional service from our butler, Miss Yum.
From the moment we arrived, Miss Yum took care of every detail with such thoughtfulness and genuine warmth. She made us feel completely at ease and always went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Whether it was helping us plan activities, arranging special touches, or simply checking in with a smile — Miss Yum was there every step of the way.
Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made our trip even more special, and we cannot thank her enough. We feel so lucky to have had her as our butler, and we truly miss her already!
If you’re planning a visit to the Maldives, we highly recommend Hurawalhi — and make sure to ask for Miss Yum! You’ll be in the best hands.
We can’t wait to come back again soon. 💙

Paraside
If you're looking for paradise and want to escape your daily life to another planet, this is the island for you. After spending 4 wonderful nights in Hurawalh last summer, we decided to spend 2 weeks in Hurawalh this year June. We still got the same feeling we got on our first trip, the islands from the cleanliness everywhere to the food and service is exceptional and next level. Nothing is too much for the staff on the island and they really made our stay again just great and created memories to last a lifetime. We could name every single person working at the property but we would like to give a special shout out to our island host Hajar, Canneli restaurant friends Muhalli, Majood, Ruwindi and Murugan, and Coco Bar waiter Akil, thank you for your warm daily meetings and conversations, you´re all our friends on Hurawalhi Island. All the best to you all and see you again. 😃 Best regards, Teemu & Irina

Best one so far
I have been to 3 Maldive resorts now and this was my favourite based on clarity of water and snorkelling areas , food , staff and value for money for wow experience. The staff were amazing and you felt at home . Thanks to Afram , Ruwindi , Mondai and Kashmir .The food was great in main restaurants but quality for price in top underwater restaurant not good . You are paying for the underwater experience .

Holiday at friends
We spent ten days on Huawahli over New Year's Eve. It was already the ninth island we had visited. Hurawalhi is an adults-only island (ages 15 and up). After arriving by seaplane, which took about 45 minutes, we were taken to our Beach Pool Villa Sunset (106). It was beautifully located with a wide beach, but we would definitely choose Sunset again, as there are breakwaters on the other side. The villa was very nice with sun loungers with cushions and a covered couch, so you could sit outside even if it rained. We found it advantageous that the bathroom was accessible from the beach side, but it is not open air, which did not bother us. In general, we found the island to be very personal. We were greeted by name. We got to know the staff and felt like part of a family. The hotel manager also came by regularly, greeted us, and made pleasant small talk. The food was very, very good. We also visited the underwater restaurant. It's not cheap, but it's an experience you should treat yourself to at least once. The restaurant on the pier, which you could visit for lunch and dinner with a reservation, was fantastic: great view, live lounge music, pure relaxation. Since we were traveling with our 15-year-old son, it was an advantage that there was a games room with billiards, table tennis, and so on. We also visited the gym regularly. However, it could be better equipped. There was a soccer field, tennis court, badminton court, and activities such as water polo and soccer matches were organized regularly. On New Year's Eve, guests were taken to a small sandbank where they could enjoy a magnificent view, snacks, drinks, and live music. Afterwards, guests were taken back to the main restaurant (by boat). There, the evening continued with great live music and a party. As we are snorkelers and the house reef is always very important to us, we were not disappointed – it was the best house reef we have seen so far and was also easily accessible. You could either enter from the water villas or the transport jetty. The guests were generally very pleasant, a good mix. We would like to thank Omas again, who greeted us every day with a smile and became like a friend to us. We really appreciated his presence, but also that of the other staff, who were sensational, always friendly, and recognized you from afar. We enjoyed our vacation to the fullest and can only recommend Hurawalhi. Service, reef, food, management, villas – TOP!!!

An incredible 10 nights being totally spoilt!
We spent 10 nights in Hurawalhi with close friends celebrating special birthdays, anniversaries and friendversaries and could’ve stayed 10 more! We chose all inclusive and there are many little extras that come with it to make your trip truly memorable.
We landed in rain but every day after that was sunny and hot. Ali, our fantastic island host, was at hand at all times to ensure all our needs were met. He also arranged (with the GM) special treats during our stay. He also took us snorkelling one day which was very kind and special. It was truly a treat to have him at hand every day.
We stayed in a water villa with pool and we saw sharks, rays, fish, and even a turtle from our deck. You could reach the drop off very quickly from the villa and it felt like you were swimming in an aquarium and saw a turtle feeding, sharks and rats up close. It was incredible to see bottlenose dolphins and spinner dolphins on our sunset cruise and on our last day we saw them from the Cannelli restaurant.
The room was very well stocked with large cupboards, life jackets, raincoats, umbrellas, snacks, drinks, factor 30 sun block, insect repellant, aloe vera after sun and a face cooling mist. The bathroom was huge!
The drinks/ snacks cabinet was also very well stocked. Sinan serviced our room impeccably and left us little sweet treats every night and also made the wonderful bed decorations.
The restaurants were all great, all very ably overseen by Chef Harshal Antil. We enjoyed the food at Cannelli, Kashibo & JFK. We had a fantastic dinner at 5.8 - the food, service and ambience were outstanding. My only suggestion is that Hurawalhi water is served with the meals as that’s free of charge and diners are given the option to purchase other water (as with drinks).
There are so many incredible staff at Hurawalhi - each one was incredible, smiley and attentive but here are a few of special mention:
Cannelli - Murugan thank you for making our days start so well with the delicious dosai, parathas & uttapam! Arun and Ruwindi you made our trip so special with your attentiveness and smiles. Our food host Mulli, thanks for making us laugh every day! Not to forget Jessica, Suresh and Majeed who also made our dining trips special.
Kashibo- Rasheed, Yasdan, Aihan you were all great and Aihan thank you for attending to us so well at 5.8.
Harry - you are a great sommelier and made our meals very special.
Coco bar - Dilan, Barsha, Palak, Tulsa and Manoj - we had so much fun with you all every night!!
The Champagne Pavilion was a great place to catch the sunset and to see the sea life.
Spa - we had two incredible massages - the masseurs were excellent. The evening entertainment was very good with either a DJ or a band.
We did a 2 hour private snorkelling trip to see nurse sharks and turtles which was awesome - thank you Liyaz & Rabaz.
For some exercise we did Yoga with Kannan and boot camp/ acquaaerobics with Channa- both very good standard. The padel court and football pitch is an added bonus. We also managed to fit in a very interesting “back stage” tour of the island to see how the island operates as a mini city.
Shainea - it was great to get to know you. Your passion for sea life gave us all a buzz!
The GM Akira Shiota made us welcome whenever we saw him and it was lovely to chat to him at the managers drinks. It is a credit to him and his team for the level of service and happy staff during our stay.
Last but not least on our last day the seaplane was late and we got to the airport with an hour to spare! Ali had phoned ahead and arranged for us to be fast tracked and we made our international flight without any issue. Amazing service.
We had such a good trip we have already started recommending Hurawalhi to friends. I really hope we get the opportunity to return to this magical island.
