I could use this space to write about how stunning and scenic Hakuraa Huraa is, it truly is paradise! But honestly, what made my stay unforgettable wasn’t just the views, it was the incredible people who made me feel so welcome. From the moment I arrived, the team went above and beyond. Hussain kept my room spotless every day and always greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly chat. Then there’s the amazing dining crew – Ricardo, Fairooz, Dhaain, Shifaz, Ayaash, Ninanno and Raufa, who turned every meal into a joyful experience. Breakfast, lunch, dinner… they didn’t just serve food, they served laughter, great conversations, and genuine care. A huge shoutout to Sous Chef Chathuranga and the kitchen team. When they found out I was vegetarian, they created personalised dishes just for me and checked in constantly to make sure I was happy. And Thara – wow! The desserts and breakfasts were mouth watering and out of this world. Thara not only catered to my diabetes but also greeted me every day with warmth, smiles, and chats that made me feel like family. And finally, Rumesh – the heart and soul of Hakuraa Huraa. Words can’t do justice to how genuine, kind, and welcoming Rumesh is, he made my stay very special. Truly an asset to the resort! To everyone who made my 7-day stay so special: thank you for the memories, the friendships, and the care. Hakuraa Huraa isn’t just a beautiful place – it’s a beautiful team. Read less

Back massage. 30 min. Very relaxing. It's necessary if you want a real experience. Therapist is Putri! Before and after, you can taste a ginger tee.
