Hurawalhi sits on a private coral island in the north of Lhaviyani Atoll, around 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé. With 90 villas on the beach and over the water, the resort is designed for adults and welcomes guests over the age of 15. The atmosphere is calm and romantic, yet there is plenty to do, from diving on the house reef to the overwater spa. Hurawalhi is known for its 5.8 restaurant, which the resort describes as the world’s largest all-glass undersea restaurant. It suits couples and honeymooners who are looking for peace and quiet and appreciate an all-inclusive offer.
You dine 5.8 metres below the surface with a view of the coral reef. The room seats no more than ten couples. Lunch is served in two five-course sittings, dinner in one seven-course sitting. 5.8 is not part of any meal plan and is charged separately.
Duniye Spa is set over two floors, with its treatment rooms above the water. If you would like to stay active, there is a gym as well as a tennis court and a football pitch, best enjoyed in the evening when the temperatures drop.
The Marine Biology Center is run jointly with Prodivers Maldives and the Manta Trust. A resident marine biologist explains life on the reef and joins excursions in search of manta rays. Prodivers dives on the house reef and at more than 50 sites nearby.
The 90 villas are spread across five categories. Over the water you can stay in an Ocean Villa with direct lagoon access, a Romantic Ocean Villa with an outdoor bathtub or an Ocean Pool Villa with its own infinity pool. On the beach are the Beach Pool Villas and the Beach Sunset Pool Villas with a private infinity pool, just a few steps from the sand and the lagoon. Bathroom products come from the Healing Ocean range by Healing Earth.
Hurawalhi combines the calm of a resort for adults with a varied culinary offer. Alongside 5.8 there is Kashibo, set over the water and serving Asian street food inspired dishes and teppanyaki, the main restaurant Canneli with buffets and live cooking, the Champagne Pavilion with ocean views and Coco Bar on the beach. The island measures around 400 by 165 metres and is easy to get around. Using the Hurawalhi app, you can book restaurants, snorkelling trips, spa treatments and dinners on the beach.
Choose an international flight that lands in Malé between 6:00 and 15:00: only then can you take the seaplane to Hurawalhi on the same day. It is best to reserve your table at 5.8 through the Hurawalhi app right after booking, as the restaurant has only a few seats.
