Hurawalhi Maldives Resort

Stefano Pilla

This was our second time at Hurawalhi, and it felt like coming home to paradise. Everything was flawless once again, from the warm welcome to the incredible experiences throughout our stay. The diving here is simply world-class. The dive center team is incredibly professional and passionate, every dive was safe, memorable, and filled with marine life. We truly appreciated the personal attention and the effort they put into making each experience unique. The staff are the soul of Hurawalhi. Always smiling, always available, and genuinely caring, they remembered us from our last visit, and it made everything feel even more special. Every moment on the island felt effortless and serene. Whether we were relaxing at the spa, enjoying the sunset views, or just walking along the beach, Hurawalhi continues to exceed expectations. We’ll definitely be back again.

We spent 4 nights at this absolutely stunning resort at the beginning of March. From the moment we arrived at Male airport to the moment we departed from Male airport to leave, we were treated like royalty. Absolutely nothing was amiss! Every vehicle from car to boat was very clean and well equipped. Every staff member from driver to housekeeping was super professional, kind, welcoming and helpful. I had wanted to go to the Maldives for a long time and very carefully selected Hurawahli after a lot of research and boy did I ever pick a great place. When we arrived, we were assigned a host who helped us through 'orientation' and settling into our Ocean Villa. Our host was absolutely fantastic and made sure we wanted for nothing. A bottle of champagne and snacks greeted us in our spotless, beautiful and spacious overwater bungalow. Every request we had from wanting a 'colder' fridge to lots of pillows was fulfilled very quickly and efficiently. Everything in the room was top notch from the very well stocked mini bar to the soaps/bathgels/shampoo etc. I had 2 massages at the spa which were lovely and relaxing and like everywhere else in Hurawahli I was treated like a star. Walking to and from the restaurants at night was a little joy in itself - it was magical to walk along the walkway with the decklights shining and the ocean sounds. Although, if you didnt feel like walking, you could ask them to come and get you in a golf cart. While there, we did the Manta search (and we found them!) and snorkelling with the Mantas was fantastic and my husband did a diving tour which he really enjoyed. All the staff and guides at this place know their stuff! The house reef here is amazing - just about 30 feet from the beach and just beautiful corals and tons and tons of different fish! The food at Hurawahli is fabulous! we mainly ate at the buffet which was very very extensive with several 'made to order' meals also to choose from and all the servers and chefs were extremely knowledgable and professonal. We also ate at Kashibo and it also was lovely! We didn't eat at 5/2 or the Fast Food place but im sure they would have been very good also. This is the most beautiful and amazing resort we have been to, to date (and weve been to a number in places like Fiji and Tahiti) Absolutely everything was perfect - from the pristine beaches and gorgeous water, the food, the staff - everything! It did rain a bit the first couple of days (I guess the resort can't control everything) but it didnt spoil a single thing for us. Our only regret is that we didnt book for longer and I cant wait until we can go back here again!

This resort boasts the highest level of luxury and satisfaction in the Maldives. In an adult-only space, you can quietly enjoy a drink and relax in an amazing atmosphere. The prices are high-end, but the hospitality of the staff, the beauty of the facilities, and the delicious food all support this, aiming for the top. I think you'll get a higher level of overall satisfaction if you can spend around 500 USD per person per night on top of the accommodation fee and enjoy yourself to the fullest. The only drawback is that access is not flexible. Be careful, as if you leave too late on the day of check-out, you may end up with too much time at the airport.

If heaven had an Adults-Only section, it'd definitely be the Hurawalhi Island Resort! My partner and I escaped from Switzerland's chilly embrace to this paradise nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Lhaviyani Atoll from March 16th to March 25th. Let's just say it was tough returning home without seriously considering permanent residency. First off, the food—oh, the food! Every meal felt like a Michelin star experience, leaving us worried that returning home would mean culinary despair. Thankfully, Farrey, our incredibly intuitive waiter, was always a step ahead, seemingly knowing our favorite dishes and drinks even before we did. He expertly infused our dining experiences with delightful snippets of Maldivian culture, making every bite a tasty journey. Now, let's talk aquatic adventures. The house reef is a marine wonderland. Snorkeling and diving here were as awe-inspiring as finding money in your old pants. The underwater scenery was teeming with marine life so vibrant, Pixar would get jealous. Kudos to the amazing Prodivers dive school for making our underwater explorations feel as comfortable and thrilling as a Netflix binge session. Thank you Jesper! And speaking of underwater experiences, dining at the breathtaking underwater restaurant was literally next-level dining—where else could you argue with a fish about eye contact during dinner? The staff here is something else entirely. Ali, our guest assistant, clearly possesses secret ninja training. How else could he appear exactly when needed, seemingly out of thin air? We’re convinced he has a built-in Swiss army knife like tracking device. Ahmet kept our room pristine—so immaculate, it put a monk’s browser history to shame. Finally, Sambath, one of the chefs, whose genuine smile and warmth could melt glaciers faster than global warming, brightened our days without fail. Hurawalhi Island Resort: Adults-Only luxury, extraordinary cuisine, unforgettable aquatic adventures, and a crew so phenomenal they should be running seminars in hospitality. Needless to say, we'll be back—possibly for good this time. Stefan & Venera

This adults-only resort is pure paradise - peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly designed for total relaxation. The staff are incredibly professional and kind, always ready to help with anything, from special food requests to capturing beautiful photos. The villa was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and we loved the thoughtful details like evening treats and high-quality cosmetics (SPF, after-sun, lip balm). Housekeeping twice a day kept everything flawless. The food was absolutely amazing: fresh juices, fruits, seafood, and a great variety at every meal. We highly recommend the activities: Dream Island, turtle snorkeling, sunset fishing, and of course the underwater restaurant. Truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
