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/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a high-value, adults-only Maldives experience with glass-floor water villas without the $1,000+ nightly price tag.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- 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
Resumen rápido: 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.
Reseñado por @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.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
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

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
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.
Consejos de 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.
