Hurawalhi Island Resort

Escape to paradise ▪️ Lhaviyani Atoll
Maldives
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Hurawalhi is a resort of perfect contrasts: barefoot but modern, comfortable yet minimalist, serene and exciting.

Designed by New York-based Japanese architect Yuji Yamazaki, we’d also describe it as contemporary, tasteful and mature. Ideal for adults looking for a chic slice of paradise.

The island itself is relatively small and edged with swathes of glistening white sand. The villas – all blended earth tones and natural materials – are not the most spacious in the area, but offer calm comfort and privacy. Although it doesn’t have the lavish sheen of some of our other Maldives favourites, a little extra pizazz is undoubtedly added by the chance to dine beneath the waves at the world’s largest all-glass undersea restaurant. Lavish lunch or delicious dinner? It’ll be an indulgence, but arguably an unforgettable one.

Why we love it

“I never thought I would say this about any holiday, but Hurawalhi was perfect. I might even have had a little cry on the day we had to leave.”

Romantic getaway

Hurawalhi’s modern vibe and over-15s only policy make it the perfect place to relax and indulge alongside your significant other, especially if you avail yourselves of the optional all-inclusive plus package. For those who prefer to be a little more active, the package includes use of the fitness center, tennis and badminton courts, complimentary kayaks, and group snorkelling, windsurfing and yoga, so you can fill your days as much or as little as you like.

What can you do there?

Hurawalhi offers scope for a number of particularly romantic activities, and why not start by enjoying a multi-course tasting menu underwater? Just don’t let all those colourful fish distract you from gazing into each other’s eyes! Visit the aptly named ‘Dream Island’, charter Bella (the resort’s luxury yacht) or luxuriate in a couples’ spa treatment. Hurawalhi is set between two channels that feed nutrient rich water into the Lhaviyani Atoll, creating some superb snorkelling and diving nearby. Guests with fortune on their side can see a cornucopia of marine life, including the amazing manta rays.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!
