The Villas

Hurawalhi has 90 keys: 30 Beach Villas with private decks and 60 Ocean Villas built over the lagoon, the latter split into Romantic, Sunset and two-bedroom Ocean Pool categories. The architecture is timber-led and proportionate to the small island.

5.8 Undersea Restaurant

The headline venue is 5.8 — an all-glass undersea dining room set 5.8 metres below sea level, billed at opening as the world's largest all-glass undersea restaurant. Tasting menus only.

Wider Dining

Above water, the line-up runs Coco bar (overwater), Aquarium (à la carte), Canneli (Italian) and the Champagne Pavilion. Hurawalhi runs on an all-inclusive Plus plan that bundles dining and house drinks.

Logistics

Transfer is a 40-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport. The resort is adults-only (no guests under 15) and has been Forbes Five-Star rated.
