Having visited 5 other resorts in the Maldives, we plenty of experience to compare it to and Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa truly stands out for us. While the beaches aren’t all that fine white powder and the house reef isn’t the most vibrant we have seen, this did not stop us from having a wonderful, memorable holiday in Jan/Feb 2026. The real difference was the people who looked after us. From the team who meticulously maintained the Island and our accommodation to those keeping the beaches in the best possible condition, their hard work did not go unnoticed. Cinnamon is incredibly lucky to have them and should be very proud of them all. A special thank you goes to Ushan, who listened to my personal request, before we even arrived and arranged for it to happen, we were so grateful for his understanding, we did get to meet him and thank him in person, he is a true credit to the resort. The dining team was equally incredible. They made sure we were well looked after from the moment we sat down until the moment we left. The service was so personal that if you didn’t see something available you wanted, if possible, someone would arrange for it to be cooked or sourced for you. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Cocktail Cruise, which was a highlight of our trip. Our only minor feedback for management regarding the All-Inclusive package is that we believe Prosecco and events like the White Party should be included rather than being an extra charge. However, the warmth and dedication of the people made this a trip to remember. We would return one day. Read less

We were at Cinnamon Hakuraa huraa to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and to renew our vows to each other. We were at Hakuraa huraa in 2006 on our honeymoon and felt like we wanted to go back there. What you shouldn't miss is renting the little island for a private dinner, it was unforgettable, really good food, so many thanks to the chefs and staff. I especially thank the staff.
