A unique experience whilst in the Maldives

A fabulous experience whilst on our holiday.
We had the 7 course fish menu and added the wine pairing.
The venue is very nice like a giant fish tank - your on the inside.
All the food was really beautifully presented , tasty and the wine did match it well.
Saw a shark and ray whilst we dined.
My only criticism would be that the waiters were very robotic with their delivery of each course and the wine was not explained- only given the name of it - well that’s on the menu!
A very expensive- but lovely treat.

A holiday of a lifetime, the best people and the most beautiful island!

The best place i've ever been!! Absolutely amazing from the second we got there to the second we left. Before I talk about the staff I'll mention the island itself, it's gorgeous! Clean, beautifully landscaped, stunning beaches and loads of sea life, I went snorkelling outside the villa and swam with a turtle! There are sting rays, loads of fish and reef sharks. The island isn't huge, so you can walk everywhere, but not too small that it feels crowded and there's plenty to do from snorkelling, tennis, padel, table tennis cruises to full relaxation in the spa. If you get chance to go on the sunset cruise to see the dolphins, go go go!! Unbelievable, what an emotional and heart warming experience that was, literally hundreds swimming alongside the boat, spinning in the air and putting on a show.

The resort of the highest standard all around

Expectional facilies, one of the most beautiful ever encountered. Wooden outlook of the villas is absolutely phenomenal and the concept of no plastic is very well appreciated.
We've been upgraded to a Pool Villa, definitely the best accommodation to date.
Resort holds a remarkable standard of quality, food is outstanding in all restaurants.
Staff is trained to highest level, we couldn't ask for more. Special thank you to our host JoJo, Fazeel from Canneli and Tulsa from Coco Bar & JFK for their outstanding company throughout our stay.
5.8 Undersea restaurant is a must visit.
We loved the private lunch at Teppanyaki, what an amazing performance there by the chef, thank you so much for sharing your time with us.

Unforgettable honeymoon

I don’t even know where to start with Hurawalhi! We visited Hurawalhi for our honeymoon at the end of April and had such an amazing and heartwarming trip.

It looks even better in real life than in photographs and it’s hard to put into words how stunning it really is. We saw lots of wonderful creatures whilst we were there and the snorkelling is absolutely out of this world. The ocean pool villa was just beautiful and the attention to detail was incredible. The pool was perfect for cooling off and I spent hours in there just watching the fish swim past in the ocean.
