About the island

Hakuraa Island, English name Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa, is in Meemu Atoll and is the most historic resort island in this atoll. It is 130 km from Male Airport, about a 40-minute seaplane flight. The island has white beaches and green palm groves, a tropical scene. Around the island is a very broad lagoon, the longest continuous reef in the atoll. Around the reef is unpolluted seawater and pleasant scenery. Hakuraa Island itself is a long island, a very clear lake, with lush vegetation, a vacation paradise that leaves people with the best memories.

Why stay here

Maldives Hakuraa Island is a seaplane island and belongs to Sri Lanka's Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts group. The island is not too large and is all-inclusive; snorkeling is average, but there is free snorkeling by boat every day. The water villas have glass floors, a sandbank appears at low tide, and the 500-meter-long jetty built over the lagoon is a major feature of the island.

Highlights

All-inclusive, and in addition to three meals it also provides snacks, late-night suppers, and other services at other times. The buildings on the island are all white, clean and pure, the sea is beautiful, the charges are also affordable, service is good, the atmosphere is good, and it is an economy-value island. The adults-only island environment is great and privacy is good.

Before you go

Personally I feel the water villas are rather dense and privacy is average.
