Our stay at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa was truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in an overwater villa, which was simply incredible, with breathtaking views that we will never forget. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to taste such a rich variety of dishes inspired by Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine. A special thank you to Anjali and her wonderful colleagues in the kitchen for consistently serving beautifully prepared and delicious meals. We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to our amazing waiter, Maishan. He quickly learned our preferences, always made sure everything was perfectly set up for us, and greeted us with a warm smile every single day. We were lucky enough to be invited to the New Year’s celebration at the resort, which turned out to be a fantastic day filled with fun activities, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere. A very special thank you to Rumesh, who took such great care of us throughout our entire stay. He made us feel truly welcome with his warmth and kindness. During our stay, we had the incredible experience of spotting stingrays, reef sharks, and even a turtle while snorkeling—an unforgettable highlight of the trip. The resort doctor was exceptionally professional and caring. After a small accident on the beach, I felt very well looked after and in safe hands. We also had a fantastic experience at Mandara Spa, where we enjoyed wonderful massages. The staff there were attentive and made us feel completely relaxed and well cared for. We will truly miss all the amazing people working at this resort. Their warmth and hospitality made our stay extra special. We highly recommend Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa and would love to return one day. Read less

If you are even thinking about booking Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa—just do it. It truly is paradise on earth. The staff are exceptional, and the food was consistently perfect—beautifully prepared and cooked to perfection. A special mention to our waiter, IRUFAADH, who was one of the best we’ve ever had. On your very first day, make the dive centre your first stop. I’ve travelled all over the world and always wanted to try scuba diving, but I was honestly too frightened… until I met Magic. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in safe hands. He has this calm, encouraging “just give it a try—what do you have to lose?” attitude that immediately put me at ease. With over 4,000 dives under his belt and a genuine passion for helping beginners, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He started me in the lagoon, reassuring me that I could stand up anytime if I felt unsure. The next day, we went out to the reef. As I entered the water, my mask slipped slightly, and I panicked—but he calmly helped me, wiped the salt water from my eyes, and waited patiently until I was ready again. We stayed in the shallow reef around 10m at first, just gently sinking down to the ocean floor. I had finally given myself to the ocean and my heart was pounding . The iridescent fish darting through the coral were mesmerising. I became so absorbed in the beauty around me that I completely forgot my fear and focused on his gentle guidance. He held my hand the entire time, never letting go, which made me feel completely safe. My husband was so reassured knowing I was being looked after so well. Knowing that I had always wanted to have the courage to dive . We explored the reef together the three of us side by side, we watched a turtle feeding, spotted a Maldivian clownfish nestled in a sea anemone, and found starfish that looked like they belonged in a Disney film. To think I nearly said no because I was afraid. I feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience. Life is short—take the trip, DO THE DIVE. And when you do, thank Magic… and maybe your partner too, for believing in you. An unforgettable experience that brought out the very best in me. Read less

The food was freshly prepared, with a large choice and tasted fantastic. Our waiter Irufaadh was so helpful and always polite and smiling. All the facilities were within a 5-10min walk. The free snorkelling trip is worth going on. This is a great choice for a holiday and would certainly come back. Read less
