The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the food and the glass floors, but many are surprised by how shallow the water is.
Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa - All Inclusive
$350-600/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a high-value, adults-only Maldives experience with glass-floor water villas without the $1,000+ nightly price tag.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Massive glass floor panels in Water Bungalows for watching sharks from your living room
- Two distinct islands: a lively main island and a secluded 'Platinum' island for pure quiet
- Exceptional food quality that frequently beats more expensive resorts
Snel Overzicht: It’s a solid 4-star experience masquerading as a 5-star—come for the stunning lagoon views, but expect a shallow 'wading only' beach and a mandatory boat ride for real snorkeling.
Beoordeeld door @thezaisers: I spent every evening walking this pier at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa. The sunsets here are unlike anything I've ever seen—pure magic. If you want a romantic escape where the world just melts away, this is the place. Truly unforgettable.

Reality check
The 'All Inclusive' plan has annoying exclusions like cappuccino/espresso (charged extra unless you upgrade to Premium) and limited minibar refills.
- You are a couple seeking a quiet, romantic escape without kids screaming at the pool
- You aren't a strong swimmer and prefer wading in calm, shallow turquoise water
- You prioritize great buffet food over having a private pool in your villa

- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though beach towels can sometimes feel a bit worn from salt/sun.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The resort uses UK 3-pin plugs (Type G), so bring an adapter.
- Green Tax is $6 per person per night and is often payable at check-out.
- There is a 1-hour time difference between Male and the resort (Island Time) to maximize daylight.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Reef shoes (essential due to broken coral in the shallow lagoon)
- Strong sunblock (the shallow white sand reflects intense UV)
- Inflatables/floaties (perfect for the shallow lagoon wading)

Kamers om te vermijden

“We are celebrating a special occasion and would love a Sunset Water Bungalow on the western side for the best views. If that is not possible, a unit as far from the jetty as possible would be appreciated for privacy.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the resort really adults-only?
Yes, as of late 2025, the entire resort (Main Island and Platinum Island) has transitioned to an 18+ adults-only policy.
Can I snorkel from my room?
Not really. The water is very shallow and mostly sand/seagrass. You must take the free daily boat shuttle to the house reef for seeing coral and fish.
Does the All Inclusive package include cocktails?
Yes, the Standard AI includes a selection of cocktails and house spirits. However, premium brands, fresh juices, and specialty coffees (cappuccino/espresso) often require the 'Premium All Inclusive' upgrade.
How much is the seaplane transfer?
Approximately $485 USD per adult (roundtrip). This is mandatory and arranged by the resort via Trans Maldivian Airways.
Is there free Wi-Fi?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available in rooms and public areas, though speeds can be variable due to the remote location.
What is the difference between Main Island and Platinum Island?
Platinum Island is a separate, more exclusive island connected by a walkway. It has its own pool, restaurant (Manzaru), and bar, accessible only to guests staying in Platinum Beach Bungalows.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Crab Restaurant' is a specialty seafood spot that isn't part of the standard buffet rotation—book it for a romantic dinner (extra cost usually applies).
- ✨
Ask for a 'shark watching' spot at the main jetty in the evening; nurse sharks often gather there.
- ✨
If you stay on the Main Island, you cannot use the Platinum Island pool/bar, but Platinum guests can use everything on the Main Island.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

💡You might see sandbags or erosion control walls on certain parts of the beach depending on the season.
💡The seaplane terminal in Male can be chaotic and hot; pack a portable fan.
💡Room service is not included in the All Inclusive plan and is billed separately.
💡The 'Premium' beverage package cutoff is often midnight—drinks after that are charged.
