This is our second visit to Hakuraa, the first being 9 years ago when it was just the one island. It was lovely then but now it is beautiful, the changes that have been done have been excellent. We stayed in an overwater villa which was lovely and large, with a glass floor for you to see the fish and also the decking area outside was lovely to sit out on. I celebrated my birthday whilst I was here and we had the sandbank dinner which was arranged by Sandun, he arranged everything with my husband so it was a lovely birthday surprise and well what an experience. You get a small speedboat to take you over to the sandbank where you can sit with drinks/cocktails and watch the sun set, then you move along to an archway which has your table underneath. The meal was gorgeous along with the drinks and I was given a chocolate birthday cake to celebrate any birthday, then of course it was the speedboat ride back to the island in the dark, absolutely fantastic ride in the pitch black, certainly an experience and one that we would never do back home. All in all a wonderful holiday and we will soon be back. Read less

My wife and I visited Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa for two weeks in June 2026 to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We normally always go self-catering as my wife is both vegetarian and coeliac. We had a wonderful time. Firstly, the team really looked to accommodate my wife's allergy. There was plenty of choice for her in the buffet. The dishes were marked for the different allergy ingredients and were well presented with individual dish serving tongs to help stop cross contamination. We also ate each meal as soon as the restaurant opened to help avoid potential cross contamination later on during mealtimes. Gluten free pasta and sauces were available and also made to order as well and there were GF deserts and even bar snacks! We would like to thank Chef Chathuranga and Nicantha who were very responsive and proactive to our food needs. The team even arranged for GF beers on the next supply delivery so my wife could enjoy a cold beer by the pool or with dinner. Fantastic! This extended to the special beachfront meal which we had to celebrate our special day which was truly memorable. Our waiter team of Dhaain, Faiyooz and Shifaz were also amazing, looking after us at all meals and providing first class service, under the very capable and watchful eye of charming Maitre De, Rumesh. The bar team also deserve mention with Shakthi and Kasun always ready with that cold beer or cocktail - wonderful! The Mandara spa was also brilliant, good value with multi hour deals. We have to mention Putri, Opina, Purnia and Meisya (wonderful elbows!) who provided us with the most amazing experience. Thank you! Finally, we would like to thank Naseer who looked after our overwater bungalow daily. Always there to help, teaching us some local phrases (Baraabaru!) and explaining and pointing out the amazing sea life living under the bungalow - Shukuriyaa! The island and facilities were wonderful: well maintained buildings, paths and lit walkways, fantastic restaurants, amazing spa, and beaches to die for! The sea was a beautiful turquoise blue, packed with turtles, black-tip reef sharks (baby mainly!), eagle rays, stingrays and a whole myriad of other wonderfully coloured fish in the beautiful corals. Everything you would expect from the perfect tropical desert island - with 5 star hotel service to boot! We will be going back! Read less

Everyone was amazing and engaging—special credit goes to Ramesh and his fantastic restaurant team and Shanti and his bar team. The chef also personally ensured we were well looked after and served truly lovely food. The resort is surrounded by absolutely beautiful, amazing island views, crystal-clear waters, and stunning coral life. We also had a wonderful experience at the spa. The ladies were just lovely, and the treatments were deeply relaxing. The complimentary massage was a great, thoughtful touch! We highly recommend this beautiful resort! Read less
