Guests who stayed here loved
“We stayed at Hurawalhi Island Resort from 19–28 June and had an unforgettable holiday. The island is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained — a true slice of paradise.
Our holiday was nothing short of exceptional — a truly special island escape that will stay in our memories forever. From the moment we arrived at the jetty to the moment we departed, we felt cared for, supported, and completely at ease. We never had to worry about anything.
Outstanding Staff & Service: the greatest highlight of our stay was the remarkable staff, whose warmth and professionalism made every day feel effortless. Elio, our dedicated host, was an absolute star. Always available, always attentive, and always proactive, she ensured our stay was as comfortable and personalised as possible. Any question or request — from clarifying details to arranging buggies at short notice — was handled quickly and with genuine care. Her efficiency impressed us throughout.
At Canneli Restaurant, we enjoyed every single meal. The welcome was always warm, and the service consistently excellent. Adam, who looked after us during most of our visits, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His professionalism, attention to detail, and people skills made such an impression that we genuinely missed him on the days he wasn’t working.
Another joy at Canneli was being greeted by the ever smiling Ruwindi, whose cheerful welcome was the perfect start to every meal.
We also want to thank managers Lalith and Casmir, who checked in with us daily to ensure everything was perfect. Their guidance, explanations, and genuine interest in our experience made us feel completely supported. Casmir’s bar team at Coco Bar were equally impressive — knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently quick to serve us whether we were relaxing by the pool or enjoying a drink in the bar.
Although we didn’t see much of our villa attendant Sinan, his work spoke for itself. Our water villa was always immaculate, beautifully maintained, and cared for with great attention to detail.
A special mention must also go to Mel and Shainea, the resident Marine Biologists. Their weekly talks on sharks, turtles and rays were fascinating and gave us a deeper appreciation of the incredible marine life surrounding the island. Snorkelling with Mel was a highlight of our trip — her expertise, enthusiasm, and calm professionalism made every excursion enjoyable and safe. Whether on snorkel tour, a wildlife walk, or boat trip, Mel was always engaging and generous with her knowledge.
The island is stunning, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Our water villa was superb — spacious, luxurious, and perched over the breath taking Indian Ocean. Waking up to turquoise water and ending each day with wonderful views from our deck was unforgettable.
Across the resort, facilities were kept to an exceptionally high standard. The infinity pool, beaches, and public areas were pristine. The only minor exception was a few small issues in the games room, which we have already fed back to the resort team — and we are confident they will be addressed promptly.
The food and beverage offering at Hurawalhi is outstanding. We never tired of the options:
• Canneli Restaurant – constantly refreshed menus, excellent variety, and consistently tasty dishes.
• Kashibo Restaurant – high end Asian cuisine with well-presented plates and exquisite flavours.
• JFK Restaurant – quality fast food alternative when we wanted something more casual.
Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, and service was always warm and friendly.
The combination of stunning natural beauty, exceptional staff, luxurious accommodation, and world class facilities made this holiday truly unforgettable. Hurawalhi Island Resort is a place where you feel genuinely cared for, and where every detail is designed to make your stay special.
Thank you to everyone at Hurawalhi for giving us a holiday we will cherish forever.”
