Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa
A beachfront island 149 km from Malé, where the reef is right off shore.
A place to stay on Naalaafushi
Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa sits on its own island in Naalaafushi Atoll, 149 km from Velana International Airport. The journey combines a domestic flight with a speedboat transfer. All four room types are 70 m² bungalows sleeping two adults. The property has two restaurants, a spa, a fitness centre, and direct beach access. A house reef runs close to shore, which keeps snorkelling and diving within easy reach without a boat. Water sport facilities — windsurfing, canoeing, and diving — are all on site.
The honest verdict
A quiet island resort where the house reef and water sports are the main draw, with two restaurants and a spa for everything else.
Best for
- Couples after a beachfront or overwater bungalow
- Snorkellers and divers who want reef access from shore
- Guests wanting transfer costs covered on stays of 7+ nights
- People who prefer a smaller, contained island setup
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers wanting more than two dining options
- Groups or families needing connecting rooms or larger beds
- Anyone wanting a short transfer from Malé
House reef access
The house reef sits directly off the island, so snorkelling and diving don't require a boat excursion. The resort runs diving on site and has water sport facilities including windsurfing and canoeing for guests who want more time in the water.
Two restaurants on island
Both dining venues are on the island itself — the only options available. The kitchen handles continental, full English, American, and buffet breakfast formats, plus special diet menus on request. A bar and snack bar cover lighter needs.
Spa and fitness centre
The spa and wellness centre is one of the main draws for guests not focused on diving. A separate fitness centre is also on site. Neither the treatment menu nor spa size details are published, so confirm specifics directly with the property.
Transfer incentives on longer stays
Guests staying seven or more nights receive complimentary in-villa breakfast plus a complimentary return domestic flight or seaplane transfer. Stays under seven nights get 50% off transfers — a meaningful saving given the 149 km distance from Malé.
Evening and beach activities
The activity list includes live music, themed dinner nights, evening entertainment, and beach sports like badminton and darts. BBQ facilities are available on the beach terrace.
