A place we got to call home for 10 days during our honeymoon. We hade a great time staying at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa. We felt welcomed as soon as we landed with the seaplane. The Platinum beach bungalow was just perfect with a perfect view to start each morning. The breakfast/lunch and dinner at Manzaru was just great with so much good food to eat. The chefs (Nilantha, Kelum and Anjali) are so great and greated us with a smile every day. Our waiter Dhaain was awsome and made our trip so much fun and we felt really special. When Dhaain wasn’t around Raufa took care of us. Our bartenders Menaka and Nandana made us some really good drinks and always had a smile on their face. This is a place we really need to come back to. Read less

My wife and I arrived in late June and stayed through the first week of July 2025. We stayed in a water villa, Room 307. The view was great. Very comfortable and well-accommodated. The only difficulty in the water villa was the A/C, which did not cool down the room enough during the day. They should consider installing bigger A/C units, or multiple units in rooms of this size. The suns rays are strong in the Maldives, so closing the curtains is some help, but more A/C is needed to keep the room cool. One other suggestion is to have a bath tub, but the waterfall shower was quite nice. Food was excellent. Great variety of cuisines. Healthy options and everything was fresh. Chef Buddika’s Sri Lankan dishes were out of the world! My wife liked several of his recipes, and he shared them with her, and even gave her a tutorial on cooking them! Chef Sahoo’s hospitality and cheerful disposition welcomed us every day and his Chinese food dishes were top-notch. Chef Nayana made excellent eggs and pasta and was very efficient, even with the rush of guests at mealtimes. Sajuuvan, our waiter, has been extremely helpful and always aims to please, bearing a smiling face at all times. With the warmth and sincerity of the staff, it is no wonder what draws guests to Cinnamon hakura huraa. Snorkeling was unbelievable and awesome. Dive Center specialist Samad took us on a private snorkling tour -a Maldives native, an amazing guide — very well-informed and knew just where to find the most exotic fish, everything from sharks to rays to turtles. We felt like we were in a marine-life documentary, with crystal-clear waters, superior visibility, and wonderful guidance around the corals near the resort and around the nearby reefs. Also want to thank the person who decorated our bed!! It wasn’t our anniversary but it felt like one again!! Super-friendly staff here, always willing to help and to go the extra mile. Read less

From the moment we arrived at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, we felt completely welcomed, cared for, and genuinely at home. For our honeymoon, we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect destination – it was everything we dreamed of and more. We stayed on the Platinum Island, and every moment there felt surreal. The island is stunningly beautiful – crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sand, and breathtaking views that leave you in disbelief every single day. And at night, the sky transforms into a canopy of stars, making everything feel magical and otherworldly. 🍽️ Food & Dining The food at Manzaru Restaurant was a true highlight. We were amazed by the variety and creativity – every day offered something new, yet every dish was consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. The chefs made every meal a joy, and we always looked forward to what they had in store. 🍸 Bars & Vibes We spent many wonderful evenings at the Vēvū Bar, enjoying expertly crafted cocktails and relaxing island vibes. It quickly became our favorite spot to unwind, especially with the lovely sea breeze and incredible service. 💫 The Heart of Hakuraa Huraa – The Staff While the island is paradise on its own, it’s the exceptional staff who made our stay truly unforgettable. Special thanks to: • Nilantha, Keluno, and Anjali – the amazing chefs who created meals that impressed us every single time. Their dedication and talent truly shined through. • Menaka and Nandana – the friendly, skilled bartenders who made our evenings so enjoyable. Thank you for the great conversations and perfect drinks! • Dhaain, our wonderful server, who went above and beyond to make every meal a warm and special experience. 🌊 Unforgettable Adventures We also went on some incredible excursions – snorkeling, fishing, dolphin watching, and even spotting sharks! Every activity was well-organized, safe, and filled with awe-inspiring moments that we’ll cherish forever. 🫶 Final Thoughts Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa isn’t just a resort – it’s a heartfelt experience. Every sunrise, every smile, every moment left an imprint on us. We’re beyond grateful to have spent our honeymoon here, and we’ll be recommending it to everyone we know. Thank you for the memories, the care, and the magic. We can’t wait to return someday. With love, 💍 Kristin & Peter Stayed: July 2025 | Room: Platinum Island Villa Read less
