Hurawalhi Island Resort

Our holiday on the island was perfect. All the workers were kind and always there to help us. The food was amazing not to mention the views. Everything was clean and ready for us to enjoy. Amazing hospitality !

Incredible trip - the island and employees are equally beautiful and make for a truly special stay. Definitely one of the more expensive places to stay in the Maldives but well worth it if you want a truly special holiday.

We have recently returned from Hurawalhi, our 12th visit to the Maldives and our 17th resort. First what we loved We really loved the aesthetic of the resort. Pretty restaurants with lovely views and everything was extremely clean and well kept. The interior is lush and veey pretty, it is constantly being cleaned and cared for by the beautiful staff. Our room, an over water villa was lovely, very spacious with everything that you needed and beautiful views. Possibly one of our favourites. The staff were amazing, extremely friendly and helpful and very attentive in all aspects. A real credit to the resort. The reef was fishy, not much live coral, but that is a problem all over the Maldives unfortunately since the coral bleaching, but certainly enough to keep you busy . Pretty easy to access and plenty of colourful fish, sharks, Rays and Turtles. Pool area Really beautiful spot, with comfy loungers and excellent service. We spent a lot of time there as I struggled to keep walking back to our villa. 5.8 underwater restaurant A wonderful experience that if you can afford it, it's worth it to be immersed in this beautiful underwater world. Food and service was excellent. Staff All staff were amazing, so attentive and they work so hard, but still always happy and smiling. Really lovely to chat with and get to know. I am sorry I don't remember all their names but Suhail our lovely waiter, Elio our host and Palaka at the bar, you made our holiday. Now the not so great When we arrived we realised work was actively going on on the water villas. It was extremely loud and not what you want to see when walking along the jetty. We were celebrating a special anniversary and to be honest if they had been up front and informed us of the ongoing renovations we probably would have changed resorts as we visit the Maldives for the tranquillity. It also meant that our villa was quite a long way from the island ( so we couldn't hear the noise) but I prefer and did request a villa close to shore as I suffer a lot of pain when walking. Food. This unfortunately was hit and miss. Some meals were fantastic others pretty disappointing, one Lamb rump I couldn't even eat.I felt in comparison to other islands we have stayed, Hurawalhi's Food was below par with exception to 5.8. A shame as we don't eat a lot but love really good quality food and it just missed the mark, no tenderloin steaks available unless you pay extra, again just something we have never found at other islands of this calibre. Around the swimming pool they play music all day. At first we thought it was because of the noise from the water villa Reno's and they were trying to hide it, as you could still here the noise at the pool. But apparently not. Very personal, but we prefer to just here the waves. Hurawalhi could be near perfect if they upgrade food and please please let visitors know prior if there is renovation work going on were they are staying as this really does impact the total feel of a holiday that should be perfect, especially when spending so much money. Although very disappointed initially about the renovations noise, we made the most of it and tried to ignore that part of our stay. Thank you again to all the staff 🙏
