Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives Elevates to a Five-Star Adults-Only Island Retreat
Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives has entered a new chapter, reimagined as a five-star, adults-only sanctuary that redefines refined relaxation in the Maldives. This repositioning marks a significant evolution for the island retreat, unveiling thoughtfully designed spaces, curated culinary journeys, and enhanced leisure facilities — all guided by its promise, For Those Who’ve Outgrown Ordinary.
At the heart of the transformation is a renewed focus on dining. The resort introduces two distinctive restaurant concepts that elevate the culinary experience.
Summer, the open-air beachfront restaurant set to open in late November, captures the vibrant spirit of southern coastal cuisine. Inspired by the relaxed charm of Louisiana, it brings a lively grill concept to the island, celebrating flame-grilled specialities, gourmet burgers, and comforting classics. Designed to flow seamlessly from sunlit afternoons into relaxed evenings by the sea, the setting balances energy with ease.
Opening in mid-December, Corals presents a contrasting yet complementary experience. This semi-fine dining venue, housed within an elegantly enclosed and air-conditioned space inspired by the island’s underwater world, showcases refined global flavours with French influences. A carefully curated wine selection and live jazz performances add depth to the restaurant’s sophisticated ambience, offering guests a more intimate and elevated evening setting.
Beyond dining, the resort expands its wellness and recreation offerings with a newly enhanced Sports and Recreation Centre, scheduled to open in mid-November. The facility features a badminton court, newly introduced pickleball and tennis courts, and a dedicated table tennis hub — reflecting growing interest in social, active, and wellness-focused pursuits. These additions create opportunities for connection and balance, allowing guests to alternate between tranquil relaxation and energising activity.
Recognising the importance of comfort throughout the guest journey, the resort has also introduced a thoughtfully designed Guest Waiting Lounge. Created for travellers arriving ahead of check-in or departing later in the day, the lounge offers plush seating, soft ambient lighting, signature teas and coffees, Wi-Fi access, and a curated reading corner. Shower and washroom facilities ensure a seamless transition before or after a flight, reinforcing the resort’s commitment to a complete and considered experience.
Commenting on the reopening, Rajeeva Rajapakse, General Manager of Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, noted: “Our vision was to create a sanctuary where adults can reconnect, relax, and rediscover the magic of island life in an elevated yet effortless setting. Every space, from our new dining venues to our wellness and recreation facilities, has been designed to celebrate experiences that feel personal and inspiring.”
With these enhancements, Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives invites guests to experience an island escape where contemporary elegance meets Maldivian charm — thoughtfully crafted for those who have truly outgrown the ordinary.
