Sprawling across an enchanting private island in the Lhaviyani Atoll, Hurawalhi Island Resort is just a short hop via seaplane from Malé International Airport. It is an adults-only resort where luxury knows no bounds, and peace and privacy is the order of the day.

Hurawalhi Island Resort boasts the world’s largest all-glass underwater restaurant for 360-degree sea views. The five-star retreat has marvellous coral reefs to be explored, so scuba diving and snorkelling are rewarding. There is also a marine biology centre for those with a passion for sea life. A water-sports centre, sports ground, and gym provide endless options for exercise, while the Sulha Spa is the ideal escape for total rest and relaxation.

Most of the villas are ocean-view, with sundecks overlooking the sea or stretching across the lagoon. The Romantic Ocean Villa is particularly special, with concealed outdoor bathtub and cushioned leisure space suspended over the water designed with stargazing in mind.
