This place is absolute paradise so beautiful. We are staying in the platinum beach bungalow and the view are absolutely stunning. What makes this place even better is the staff they do absolutely anything for you. They our extremely friendly always greeting you. Nothing it’s ever too much trouble. They go above and beyond to make your stay even more enjoyable. Our waiter is Shifau, he was just perfect at his job, he remembered my drink orders and as soon as he saw me in the morning he has my coffee ready there for me( he knows I don’t function well until I’ve had my first coffee lol) I could not ask for a better waiter. He’s so kind so friendly nothing was ever any trouble for him. He also had such a great sense of humour. He made our meal times so much more enjoyable. The Chef’s their food is so delicious and they were amazing people . They always greeted us with a smile on their face. Anjali is such a beautiful person the happiest person I have ever seen at Work always had such a big smile on her face and was so welcoming. Kelam and Ansari absolutely fantastic chefs as well. The atmosphere at the hot plates with the Chef was so delightful and they are so happy to see you they made me and my husband feel very special. All the staff on the platinum Island are fantastic. I’m not sure what the barman‘s name is. He was so friendly made our evenings enjoyable. The room boy was fantastic as well kept our room very clean and always give us the drinks that we asked for in the mini fridge and keep us well stocked up. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. This is my favourite place in the whole entire world. I never go back to the same hotel twice, but that’s going to change. I’m already looking into booking this hotel again. It is paradise the staff are amazing. I’m sure all Maldive hotels are amazing, but it’s a staff here that makes it perfect. Read less

Everything was absolutely fantastic, me and my partner came for our honeymoon for 10 nights and loved every minute of it. All the staff were so welcoming and polite and always went above and beyond especially Shafiz and Dhaain in the restaurant! Both were amazing always stopped for a chat remembered what we were drinking and brought drinks over. All the excursions were amazing, we also done the sand bank private island dinner and I can honestly say the food was the best food we have eaten and the views were beautiful, everything was perfect!

Our first visit to Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. So naturally, when we had the opportunity to return for a second time, we wondered whether the experience could possibly be as magical as we remembered. It was. If anything, it was even better. ❤️ From the moment we arrived, everything once again felt absolutely special. The breathtaking views, crystal-clear turquoise waters, beautiful surroundings, incredible food, and the peaceful atmosphere make Hakuraa Huraa a place that is genuinely difficult to put into words. We stayed in the Sunset Water Bungalow, and waking up every morning surrounded by endless turquoise water and falling asleep after watching some of the most beautiful sunsets imaginable felt completely unreal. The villa was stunning, spacious, beautifully maintained, and gave us the perfect combination of privacy, luxury, and peace. But what truly makes Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa so special is its people. The entire staff is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, we cannot think of a single thing to complain about. Everyone is warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They don't simply provide great service—they make you feel like family. A very special thank you to Ushan, Riccardo, Sandun, Rumesh, and Sous Chef Chathuranga for making our stay unforgettable once again. ❤️ From the very beginning, they looked after us with so much warmth and kindness and made sure we were always comfortable, happy, and enjoying every moment of our stay. A special mention must also go to Operations Manager Kavindu, who constantly checked on us and made sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. That level of personal care and attention truly makes a difference. And of course, Sandun—what an incredible person to meet in paradise! Your warmth, personality, and genuine hospitality made our experience even more memorable. For the ultimate relaxation experience, we also highly recommend meeting Dian and Purnia at Mandara Spa. The perfect blend of relaxation, professionalism, and an unforgettable spa experience. Pure bliss! 🙌✨ Whether it was enjoying a beautiful meal, watching the sunset from our deck, relaxing by the ocean, or simply doing nothing and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the Maldives, every single moment felt special. By the end of our stay, just like our first visit, we genuinely did not want to leave. And honestly, that says everything. Two visits. Two unforgettable trips. Read less
