**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Fifth Visit to Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa – And the Best One Yet** We’ve just returned from our Fifth holiday at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa, and somehow it was the best one so far. Arriving by seaplane is always magical — flying over the Maldives as the ocean shifts through every shade of turquoise and sapphire, with clear blue skies above, is a moment that never loses its impact. Seeing the island appear below us felt like coming home. The accommodation was immaculate and peaceful, beautifully maintained, and waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean is something we’ll never tire of. What truly makes Hakuraa Huraa exceptional is the people. Every single member of staff deserves a mention — they treat us like family, and their warmth, kindness, and genuine care are the reason we keep returning. The management team lead with an ethos of love, care, and friendship that radiates through the entire resort. A special thank you to the incredibly talented **Chef Chathuranga**, who has amazed us over the last couple of years with his imaginative menus and outstanding cuisine. As vegetarians, we’re always mindful of choice when travelling, but the chefs here go out of their way to prepare dishes on request, and every meal feels crafted with pride. We also want to thank **Dhaain**, our wonderful waiter, and **Raufa**, the ever‑welcoming restaurant hostess, for their kind attention every single day. Their warmth and consistency made every meal feel relaxed and personal. At the new Coral restaurant, the incredible team of **Lilan, Ricardo, Nithan, and Shifaz** took such wonderful care of us during our very special meals led by Chef Chathuranga. Their attention to detail, genuine friendliness, and pride in what they do made each visit memorable. And of course, we must mention **Rumesh** — an absolute star and a true Cinnamon legend. No matter how busy the restaurants are, he always finds time to make us feel welcome and valued. His warmth and attention to detail elevate every dining experience. The twice‑daily snorkelling trips are a highlight of every stay. Each excursion takes you to a different nearby reef, and every one is full of colour, life, and unforgettable moments. It never disappoints. We could choose other brands and other islands, but nothing compares to the ethos of Cinnamon and the heart of Hakuraa Huraa. The love, care, and genuine friendship bring us back every time. We would recommend Cinnamon as a group without hesitation, and Hakuraa Huraa as a destination that truly stands apart. We’re already counting the days until we return to our island family Read less

it was a great holiday. Many thanks to Rumesh who always had a nice word to us and was really helpful. It was all so calm and relaxing, the spa is great. The only noise we sometimes heard came from the generator, maybe this could be replaced by a more silent one... but it is fully needed otherwise there no electricity!
