My stay at the resort was unforgettable and a big part of that was thanks to Naseer, my housekeeper. He made my vacation more comfortable. I highly recommend staying in an overwater villa at this resort.

A lovely week in the sun, impressive water villa, extremely friendly and attentive staff especially in the main restaurant. As you sit in the same place for your staff the wait staff will get to know you, we had the pleasure of being served by Shifaz and Raufa who were so friendly. The food has good variety and they have a cooked salad and desert room. The beach isn’t quite as sandy as other resorts we have been too but the sea is lovely nonetheless. Would we come back? Absolutely. Read less

Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa – A Truly Magical Paradise What an incredible and beautiful place Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa is—and it’s made even more magical by the amazing staff who turned my wife’s and my holiday into something absolutely sensational. We stayed in Water Bungalow 364 from 21st November to 30th November for my wife’s birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was unforgettable. Arrival & First Impressions We arrived by seaplane, which was an incredible experience in itself. Upon landing, we were greeted by the wonderful reception team, who effortlessly checked us in. A big thank you to Najda, Titi, and the entire reception team (apologies if I’ve misspelled any names!). The resort is pristine—postcard perfect. Truly breathtaking. Main Bar & Pool A massive thank you to the staff at the main bar: Kasun, Sampath, Akalanka, Pratima, and others. Your kindness, smiles, amazing drinks, and of course the fantastic shisha made our days so enjoyable. The swim-up bar and pool were perfect for cooling off during the hot days, and the surrounding beach was immaculate—kept spotless by the hardworking team who make the resort feel like paradise. Food – Simply Outstanding Now for the food… wow wow wow—the best food I have ever tasted. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were unmatched in both quality and variety. My wife and I travel extensively, and we both agreed this was the best food, hands down. If you love fresh fish, curries, meats, fruits, desserts, and more—this is heaven. A huge thank you to the wonderful chefs, always smiling and producing exceptional dishes. We even had the chance to do a cooking class in the bar, which was brilliant. To the waiting staff, an especially big thank you to Lammah, who looked after us for nine days with warmth and hard work, and the amazing Raufa, who helped us navigate everything in the main restaurant with such kindness. Seafood Restaurant – A Must for Special Occasions We also visited the romantic seafood restaurant, separate from the main bar and pool area. The wonderful Sam and his team set up an incredible birthday dinner for my wife—a must-do for any special celebration. The food was phenomenal. Spa & Relaxation The spa is outstanding, offering a wide range of treatments from therapy to massage. We both agreed it was the best massage ever. Water Bungalow Experience Our water bungalow was incredible, complete with a glass floor panel where we could watch the fish swim by. A big thank you to Humaidh, who looked after our bungalow with a big smile and kept everything spotless. Keep smiling, brother! Final Thoughts All in all, I can honestly say this was the best holiday my wife and I have ever taken—bar none. To all the amazing staff who made our trip unforgettable: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. See you again in 2028! Room 364 Read less
