Hurawalhi Island Resort
A naturally chic adults' escape
About this accommodation
Hurawalhi Island Resort is an adults-only five-star resort in Lhaviyani Atoll, welcoming guests aged 15 and above, and is reached by a 40-minute seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport. The island holds 90 villas split between 60 ocean villas perched over the lagoon and 30 beach villas set along the sand, giving agents a clean two-tier inventory to position. Meal plans span Bed & Breakfast, Half Board, Full Board and All Inclusive. The defining feature is 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, recognised as the largest all-glass undersea restaurant in the world, reached via a spiral staircase descending 5.8 metres below the lagoon surface. The resort was awarded Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star status in 2024. Lhaviyani Atoll is home to only a small cluster of resorts and is known for its unspoilt reefs, and Hurawalhi's house reef is accessible directly from the beach for snorkelling and diving. A considered spa, a four-restaurant dining lineup and private dining setups round out the programme, all oriented to couples rather than families. Rated 4.9 from 877 reviews, Hurawalhi is a clean fit for honeymooners, couples-only clients and anyone on a milestone stay.
