An island resort on Lhaviyani

Hurawalhi Island Resort sits on a private island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 148 km from Velana International Airport — roughly 40 minutes by seaplane. It is adults-only, with 90 villas spread across overwater and beachfront positions, and holds a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating for 2024. The property runs on an All-Inclusive Plus plan, which covers buffet and à la carte dining across multiple venues, specified drinks, a dolphin cruise, and a marine-biologist-led snorkelling session. The 5.8 Undersea Restaurant — billed as the world's largest all-glass undersea restaurant, at 5.8 metres below the surface — operates separately as a fine-dining experience.

Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.

5.8 Undersea Restaurant

At 5.8 metres below the lagoon, this all-glass restaurant is the world's largest of its kind. The menu has an equal-priced vegetarian option alongside the main fine-dining selection. It sits outside the all-inclusive package and is booked separately via the Hurawalhi app.

Overwater and beachfront villas

All 90 villas are either overwater with direct lagoon access or positioned on the beach. The three pool villa categories each include a private infinity pool. Every villa is built for two — none of the room types are configured for more than two adults.

Four dining venues on the island

Canneli Restaurant runs buffet and à la carte across all three meals with live cooking stations. Kashibo is an overwater Asian street food venue with teppanyaki. J.F.K. Junk Food Kitchen, inside Coco Bar, does upscale fast food with vegan options. Coco Bar is the beachside lounge.

Champagne Pavilion at sunset

At the island's westernmost point, the Champagne Pavilion is the spot for watching the sun go down. Dolphin and manta sightings are common from here. It sits outside the all-inclusive package.

Marine biology and watersports

The Marine Biology Center runs group snorkelling sessions led by the resort's own marine biologist. Kayaks, windsurfing gear, and group windsurfing lessons are included in the all-inclusive rate. An on-site diving centre is also available.

Duniye Spa

The resort's spa is Duniye Spa, a name associated with several Maldivian properties. Treatment specifics are bookable through the Hurawalhi app alongside dining and excursion reservations.

Getting there

Getting to Hurawalhi Island Resort on Lhaviyani in Lhaviyani Atoll means covering about 148 km from Malé (MLE) by seaplane — a scenic flight of roughly 45 minutes. The resort books the seaplane with your stay. Seaplanes fly in daylight hours only, so late arrivals may overnight in Malé.

Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.

Frequently asked

How do I get to Hurawalhi from the airport?

The transfer is by seaplane from Velana International Airport in Malé, taking approximately 40 minutes. Hurawalhi is 148 km from the airport in Lhaviyani Atoll. Seaplane schedules are typically daylight-only, so late-arriving flights may require an overnight in Malé.

Is Hurawalhi adults-only?

Yes. Hurawalhi Island Resort is an adults-only property. None of the 90 villas are configured for children, and the resort does not accommodate guests below adulthood.

How many villas are at Hurawalhi Island Resort?

There are five villa types: Ocean Villa (overwater, lagoon access), Romantic Ocean Villa (overwater, outdoor bathtub), Ocean Pool Villa (overwater, private infinity pool), Beach Pool Villa (beachfront, private infinity pool), and Beach Sunset Pool Villa (beachfront, sunset side, private infinity pool). All sleep two.

What does the All-Inclusive Plus package include?

It covers buffet and à la carte dining at Canneli, à la carte at Kashibo, snacks at J.F.K. and Coco Bar, unlimited specified drinks, a demi-bottle of champagne per villa per stay, one Sunset Dolphin Cruise, and a marine-biologist-led snorkelling session.

Is the 5.8 Undersea Restaurant included in the all-inclusive?

No. The 5.8 Undersea Restaurant is a separate fine-dining experience not covered by the All-Inclusive Plus package. It can be booked through the Hurawalhi app. The menu includes an equal-priced vegetarian option.

What dining venues are on the island?

There are four main venues: Canneli Restaurant (buffet and à la carte, all meals), Kashibo Restaurant & Bar (Asian street food, teppanyaki, overwater), J.F.K. Junk Food Kitchen (inside Coco Bar), and Coco Bar (beachside lounge). Private and in-villa dining is also available.

Is there diving available at the resort?

Yes. Hurawalhi has an on-site dive centre and is listed on PADI Travel as a dive resort. The Marine Biology Center also runs group snorkelling sessions led by the resort's own marine biologist.

What watersports are on offer?

The watersports centre has kayaks, windsurfing gear, and group windsurfing lessons — all included under the all-inclusive rate. Snorkelling with the resort marine biologist and a Sunset Dolphin Cruise are also included per stay.

Does the resort have a spa?

Yes. The spa at Hurawalhi is Duniye Spa. Treatments can be reserved through the Hurawalhi app alongside dining and excursion bookings.

What is the Champagne Pavilion?

The Champagne Pavilion sits at the island's westernmost point and is set up for sunset viewing, with dolphin and manta sightings common from that position. It operates outside the all-inclusive package and is booked separately.

What are the prices like?

The Ocean Villa starts from around $611 per night. Pool villas begin at approximately $1,747, and the Ocean Pool Villa from around $1,857. All rates are for two adults and reflect the villa category, not the all-inclusive supplement.

How do I book dining and excursions?

Hurawalhi runs its own app for managing reservations across dining venues, spa treatments, and excursions during your stay. It covers everything from table bookings at 5.8 to dolphin cruise slots.

How much is the underwater restaurant at Hurawalhi Island Resort?
