The perfect mix of luxury, outstanding hospitality by staff, exquisite dinning experience and the wonderful facilities of Hurawalhi Island Resort makes this one of the most memorable and magical holidays we will treasure! OUTSTANDING STAFF From the moment we engaged with the resort Reservations, to our pick-up by their mainland staff on arrival in Male to transfer us to the seaplane terminals, to the time we boarded our return flight home, the service & hospitaly of the Hurawalhi Island Resort staff were outstanding. The staff are exceptional, catering for all your holiday requirements and going beyond and above, in such a friendly professional and hospitable manner to make your stay an enjoyable experience! From our wonderful host Sam, to the waiting staff, chefs, house keeping team, gardeners and facilities. All made us feel so welcomed and made you feel like the only VIP there- treating you like royalty! AMAZING FACILITIES The resort is amazing, the luxurious facilities and ambience transports you to a place of paradise! We arrived early in the morning 9am and they had our room ready for us. We were in an well appointed overwater pool villa with beautiful views of the ocean and Dream Island. We had easy access to the ocean on our door step and we took advantage of that to snorkel daily and explore the reef or chill out in our villa pool. Five Stars all around - expectional clean villa, grounds wonderfully maintained by staff, restaurants offered variety of food- various buffets at Canneli, best wagyu burgers and sweet potato fries at JKF, Asian cuisine at Kashibo and a unique exquisite dining experience at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant! OUR HOST We want to acknowledge our wonderful Island Host Sam, who took time to ensure all our activities were scheduled, arranged accordingly and ensured we were there on time to enjoy the full extent of those activities, and gave tips like eg. pointed out best spots for snorkeling. He always checked in to say hi and see how things were going and if we needed any support. Thank you Sam for your hospitality. We greatly appreciate it. A few special mentions to Ruwindi for your beautiful demeanor in always welcoming us daily by name and for your hospitable service ; and to Salaam for your intuitive service at Canneli Restaurant. We don't know all their names, but the chefs at Canneli, JFK, Kashibo and 5.8 Underseas Restaurant were amazing. The food at these restaurants were just pure wonderful! Thank you. We want to also acknowledge Gavin and Rukia at reservation who were so very helpful in answering the zillion questions we had and adjusting things to meet our needs. Thank you so much. HIGHLIGHTS So many highlights to a relaxing and wonderful holiday; the main highlights of our trip was experiencing dinning under the ocean at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant where we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary with an amazing 7 course dinner and surprised delectable dessert provided by staff to acknowledge our anniversary. Such a special touch to an important part of our lives. The second highlight was the Hurawalhi Veli Candlelit Beach Dinner - such a romantic setting with delicious seafood dinner prepare by the wonderful team - chef and waiting staff ; the third highlight was the sunset cruise and seeing the spinner dolphins. We also saw the spinner dolphins outside our villa - magical moments! The fourth highlight was the champagne floating breakfast in our pool villa to start our anniversary day celebration- huge variety of breakfast foods beautifully presented. CONSERVATION What we valued apart from above, about Hurawalhi Island Resort was their eco-friendly commitment and program. Having a marine biologist on site to share about the work e.g regrowing coral, marine life conservation and about sharks was encouraging, we felt we were part of the efforts. We enjoyed the fun facts provided about Maldives, conservation work and the resort each evening when our bed were turned down...bite size information. HURAWALHI APP The Hurawalhi app was very useful in knowing what was available in the resort, what menus at each restaurant offered and booking any activities before you arrived. Overall 5 star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ accommodation! An extraordinary experience of an outstanding resort! Thank you Hurawalhi Island Resort for making our holiday a wonderful magical experience we will always remember!

Five stars all around! The food offering at Canneli was wonderful and their specialty restaurants did not disappoint. 5.8 restaurant was the absolute best. The resort’s facilities were impeccable and the resort size was just right. It felt like a private island vacation. But the one most outstanding piece of the resort is the staff. They were all so kind and accommodating. Special mention to our island host Maudey for taking good care of us. We hope to be back soon!
