Hotel Hints
While selecting your villa, this is between the beach or water and depends mostly on your own personal preference for privacy against direct access to the lagoon. For that ultimate Maldivian fantasy, it's hard to go past the Romantic Ocean Villas with a bathtub on the deck facing sunset positioned views over spectacular evenings. However, if you are into snorkeling-holic then Beach Pool Villas "house reef side" offers best convenient access towards marine life action right at door step! Get one villa located sunset side of island if wanna enjoy private sundowner from pool as sunrise side can get quite hot n bright by mid morning.
Getting a reservation for dining at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant has to be made well in advance-yes, because of its immense popularity-but also due to the fact that there are very limited seats available for both lunch and dinner seatings every day. For good photos, book the lunch seating; natural sunlight coming down through water layers brightens up corals with colors impossible by artificial light. If you want something less formal yet equally delectable do not miss "Kashibo" offering outstanding Asian street food over water.' Teppanyaki Night' here provides great fun together with a live interactive break from more serious dining settings elsewhere on this island thus making it endearing among repeat guests.
If your budget stretches this far, opt for the All-Inclusive Plus (AIP) package to count individual costs of a truly relaxing stay only toward the end. Unlike most “all-inclusive” deals with bottomless mid-shelf spirits, Hurawalhi includes over 50 cocktails and premium international wines in its package. Your minibar–yes, fully stocked daily–is also included together with a sunset dolphin cruise that should be high on every first timer’s list of things to do. Practical tip for an active guest: make use of free snorkeling and windsurfing lessons offered as you get oriented within the lagoon before heading out into deeper parts over house reef.
Finally, high SPF ! lots of sunscreen to save your skin from that equatorial sun and also the marine life because yes, reflection off white sand and turquoise water is pretty strong- you can burn quick even on a cloudy day. Their environmental policy asks guests to apply any biodegradable product as long as it’s effective in protecting them against tourists’ favorite activity: lying under scorching sunlight for hours. If ever everyone gets too much or if all you want is some quiet time alone head over “Champagne Pavilion” at very end Ocean Villa jetty; least noisy spot island most unobstructed views horizon meditation private toast.
