We had an amazing stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The buffet was a highlight — great variety with different themes every day, so meals never felt repetitive. The all-inclusive package was excellent value, especially with drinks and snacks well covered throughout the day. We really appreciated the resort’s eco-friendly approach. Reusable water bottles are provided, refill stations are easy to find, and we still received up to four bottles of water per day, which was more than enough. The bottle also makes a nice souvenir to take home. The water and beach are incredibly clean, and the marine life is everywhere. We saw sharks, stingrays, turtles, and puffer fish right around the resort — truly magical. The snorkeling and shark tour team were dedicated, professional, and made us feel safe and well informed. All staff were friendly, supportive, and always smiling, which made the stay even better. Special thanks to: • Ms. Harshani at the crepe station for her cheerful service • Ms. Thara at the pasta station for great food and professionalism • Mr. Rumesh and the restaurant team the dancing star at the Gala Dinner and for his daily dining support — he brought so much fun and energy We loved that the resort is adults-only (no kids), making it peaceful and perfect for couples or anyone wanting to truly relax. The New Year Gala Dinner at Hili was fantastic — a big seafood buffet with oysters, caviar, lobster, sushi, freshly cut ham, cheeses, and ice cream. The countdown had good DJ music, lucky draw, and a best couple award. We also liked that there were no fireworks, which is better for the environment and animals. Daily activities like movie nights, traditional dance, and acoustic music added a nice touch, and the Hili New Year setup with love birds was beautiful. Everything we needed was well provided, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Overall, Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa offers excellent value, beautiful nature, and warm service. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Maldives. Read less

My stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, everything felt thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing, luxurious, and truly carefree experience. The buffet meals were delicious, with an impressive variety offered at every single meal. The All-In package made the experience even better. It was incredibly freeing not to think about costs at all, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy everything the resort offered without hesitation. A lovely and very thoughtful touch was the reusable water bottle I received as a gift, to use during my stay and to take home as a souvenir. The resort provides free water bottles in the room and refill stations in common areas, which I really appreciated both for convenience and sustainability. The staff truly makes this resort special. Everyone is dedicated, genuinely kind, and speaks excellent English. I always felt welcome and cared for. The tours were amazing. The resort offers two free snorkeling trips per day, plus paid excursions such as snorkeling with mantas and sharks. During every tour, the staff goes above and beyond to make everyone to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in the water. I stayed over New Year’s, and the attention to detail was heartwarming. When I returned to my room that evening, the bed was beautifully decorated with a Happy New Year message. Such a thoughtful surprise. The New Year’s Eve gala dinner was absolutely incredible: a seafood buffet, oysters, caviar, lobster, sushi, freshly cut ham, an ice cream station, and a cheese buffet, and more, made that there was truly something for everyone. After dinner, there was a lively countdown with great DJ music. I appreciated that there were no fireworks, respecting both the environment and the animals. They also organized a lucky draw, with proceeds supporting the local islands, which made the celebration even more meaningful. The resort is spectacularly clean! From the beach to the water to every shared space. Everything felt pristine and well cared for. One of the biggest highlights for me was that this is an adults-only resort. Without children, I could fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, the sound of the waves, and complete tranquility. Nature is everywhere here. I saw sharks, stingrays, turtles, pufferfish, and mantas, and the most beautiful, vibrant fish colors made even more stunning by the crystal-clear water. In the evenings, I could even watch sharks swimming beneath my water villa through the floor window, an unforgettable experience. The evening entertainment was varied and enjoyable, including movie nights, traditional dance performances, and live band music. Finally, I want to highlight two staff members who made my stay extra special: Harshani, who made my mornings brighter with her sweet breakfast stand and friendly greetings. And Rumesh, who always made sure I was well looked after. Plus, his dance moves on New Year’s Eve definitely deserve a special mention ;) Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives is a place where you can truly switch off, feel cared for, and experience the beauty of the Maldives at its best. I would return in a heartbeat. Read less

I have no further suggestions to give you because all of you did a very good job. Take into consideration that Maldives are really beautiful and you have to protect them as a treasure, for the customers and for yourselves !!!

We really enjoyed the resort especially the corals area outside our accomodations. We were able to see many fishes, sharks, stingrays and turtles as well. We like the spa (Mandara Spa) especially Tera and Purnia who made us feel so comfortable.

A wonderful location with tremendous service! The beach villa, nr.401, was simply perfect, Menaka made us delicious cocktails and mocktails, and was always very polite and nice to chat with. His colleague Nandana was equally good to us at the bar and made us always feel welcome. The kitchen provided a huge variety of dishes every day, spoiling us with all the delicious food and service. Great big thanks to the chefs Charuna, Kelum and Aujali, who really did their utmost to grill and cook fresh seafood and meat to perfection, besides the numerous dishes from a variety of different countries. This culminated with the dishes prepared for the Christmas Eve dinner which was simply spectacular! Special mention must go to Riyaaz, Keerithee, Hannan and Affan. Service with a smile ! Riyaaz made special effort to remember our preferences for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and made our visits to the restaurant very special indeed. The diving was superb, and additional bonus was that our son had his first diving experience guided by Ahmed, our dive master. Ahmed was really very good at making everybody safe and relaxed, and showed us some wonderful marine species and sights. Particular bonus was diving alongside many turtles, which Ahmed was also good at recording with his underwater camera. He is pretty good at playing billiard too! There are many more of the staff that deserve to be mentioned, the cleaning and laundry was impeccable, and our beach front was always ‘groomed’. All in all, a really lovely and relaxing vacation and a delightful way to spend the Christmas period. Thank you all very much, and look forward to seeing you again. Read less
