A truly wonderful location. Attentive welcoming staff. The excursions are recommended. We went in the dolphin watching tour and saw a large pod of dolphins which treated us to some acrobatics!

My husband and I went to Hakuraa Huraa in May for our honeymoon. We specifically chose the Maldives considering the beauty of the island. However, soon after we arrived at the resort, the beauty of the island became just one of the main highlights of our trip. The hospitality we received from the time we arrived was just terrific!!!! The staff undoubtedly went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable experience, which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Everything at this property was top-notch. The team was extremely hospitable, and they were genuinely willing to help their guests. The food was excellent during every meal, the amenities in the room were amazing, and the property itself was beautiful. A big shout out to the most pleasant General Manager, Rajeeva Rajapakse, who has trained his team so well. He never failed to greet the guests with a great smile, which I thought was extremely welcoming. Also, Chef Kulendra went out of his way to get to know our personal dietary preferences, which was quite impressive. Then the restaurant managers, Rumesh and Prasad, who provided exceptional service and arranged a tailor-made dinner by the beach for us. Kelum and Nayana from the restaurant made us delicious food according to our liking. Menaka and Nandana from the bar gave us the best drinks. These are only a few names that we remember, but the whole Hakura Huraa team was exceptionally amazing. Thank you so much, Team Hakuraa Huraa, for making our stay so special. This was truly a home away from home for us. To anyone looking for a memorable and delightful experience, we highly recommend Hakuraa Huraa. We will certainly be returning in the future. Love, Ramesh & Chathuranthi Yahathugoda Read less

The resort is amazing. Dining was terrific, not only because of the food but the staff including our waiter Shabeen and hostess Sajaaya. Our water bungalow was to die for. Stingrays and shark right outside our deck. Sunsets and sunrises were perfect right off our deck.

Just got back from our trip. Our emotions are beyond words. It's just a paradise place. We lived in a water bungalow. The bungalow was spacious and beautiful, it had a terrace with sun beds and its own private entrance to the ocean. Waking up every morning with ocean view was unforgettable. Despite the fact that we went in the off season, it rained only 2 times and not for a long time. As for the wildlife on the island, sometimes there were small reef sharks, fish, once a stingray was seen. In general, the island does not have its own rich live reef, so 2 times a day you could go snorkeling by boat to look at the fish. The island is very green, everywhere is very clean and tidy.I would like to emphasize the work of the staff - all were super friendly and attentive to all details. I would especially like to single out Anjali, the girl who stood in the kitchen at lunch and dinner, she made burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches for lunch, grilled fish or meat for dinner. I do not know how, but among all the vacationers, she was able to recognize me and congratulate me on my birthday! It was very pleasant and unexpected! Little things like this are always very much appreciated. Anjali is a very nice and kind girl who was able to make our vacation even better. I would also like to mention Lammaah, the guy who brought us drinks. Was always quick and attentive. In general, I would like to say a big thank you to the whole hotel team for their individual approach to each vacationer. This vacation was very special. Dreaming to come back again! Read less

Great clean accomodation, stayed in the water bungalow which was spacious and had all the amenities. Smashing ocean and sunrise/sunset views and snorkling options with a variety of fishes from sharks to rays visible. Fully inclusive resort as are majority of the Maldives resorts. Food choice for vegetarians was ok but not a great deal of variety. Did experience some heavy storms on a few days which were loud at night but the water bungalows were good and stable through these. Overall a great experience with great staff. Read less
