Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa

Highly recommend! The villas are very nice, spacious and comfortable. I would definitely visit again for the food! Avnish was hospitable and took care of us during our stay. Chef Evanka went over and beyond for us, making specific food outside of the menu to cater to allergies and dietary restrictions and everything he made was delicious :) super thankful to them for making our experience amazing!

Returning to the Park Hyatt Hadahaa Maldives for the fourth time felt like coming home to paradise. Each visit has been exceptional, but this stay truly reached new heights. From the moment we arrived, everything was effortless and welcoming. Our beach villa was immaculate and beautifully designed; private, serene, and just steps from the crystal-clear lagoon. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and the soft morning light over Hadahaa’s untouched nature is an experience that never loses its magic. A special thank-you goes to our wonderful host, Shahum, whose warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care elevated our stay. He anticipated every need with grace and made us feel completely looked after from start to finish. The food was, as always, outstanding. Every meal felt crafted with passion — fresh ingredients, beautifully presented dishes, and mindful culinary touches that showcase the island’s spirit. Whether breakfast by the ocean or a romantic dinner under the stars, each moment was memorable. After four visits, the Park Hyatt Hadahaa continues to be our absolute favorite destination. It’s rare to find a place that combines natural beauty, heartfelt service, exquisite dining, and such a profound sense of peace. Each stay is unforgettable, and we’re already dreaming of our next return.

My husband and I made our 8th trip to the mesmerizing Maldives to visit 3 islands over 3 weeks and PHH was our 1st stop and our 17th resort . Villa I had requested overwater room 51 at the end of the jetty which we were given. It is the best of the bunch and is huge, has panoramic unobstructed views and the GM threw in a bottle of champagne, couples massage and dinner on the beach so we were looking forward to those! The resort is very generous and non alcoholic drinks were free all day long with our half board which was a first. All sparkling and still water was free as well The views from Villa 51 were lovely being on the end of the jetty. The residence is next door and can be seen on the very far right of our villa but honestly it did not distract from the stunning sunset views from our villa where there were no islands in sight to speak of so all across the horizon was vast , gorgeous nothing but tropical breeze and the turquoise sea/ blue sky. The residence has a large wooden screen that does not allow any views of our villa . Our deck is small but really is nice as there is a large 2 person sofa bed and a small pool next to it . The room including the bathroom had all floor to ceiling glass which really adds to the ambiance and brings the outdoors in.. we love sitting outside at night ….and seeing the star filled sky! No light pollution there! We were given a tour of the residence. It is the personal residence of the 2 owners of the island …. They rent it out when they are not in house. One is Thai the other Maldivian . I think this is the largest residence we have seen in our 17 resorts so far and it has the wow factor time 3. The room has the most exquisite views …. An incredible amount of glass and of course with no islands in sight the views are amazing . I would call the decor understated elegance …..Both our villa 51 and the residence view the gorgeous sunsets. Kiaali # 52 is the residence name and it incorporates both last names of the PH owners . The villa 51 is really quiet, has privacy and gives a sense of isolation , it is one of the nicest rooms for open panoramic sea views we have experienced thus far. Reef We swam around the island drop off a couple times the first day as we do in all the resorts and saw a turtle, quite a few sharks some eagle rays and nice large corals on the water villa end of the island. It took us about 11/2 hour to circle it as the current was running a bit The wind was coming down a little but it was still too much weather for paddle boarding …. We kayaked after my husband got back from the “ back of the house tour” then we had a couples massage at 5:00 ……. It’s was my birthday so chef Dave made a delicious little cake , screwdrivers appeared at breakfast and a large fruit display was brought to our table…. That’s the Maldives! “ We aim to please”! There were alot of good size titan triggerfish who were fortunately minding their own business, we only saw a few turtles on all our swims ….quite a few black tips and a couple white tip, a lobster , a good amount of schooling fish and lots of rock cod …..along with beautiful recovering corals especially on the the water villa half of the island where the current is stronger. (We saw a barracuda and eagle rays earlier in our stay) We still remember our 1st trip to the Maldives before the bleaching of 2016….. swimming around islands with so much much colorful coral and beauty , fortunately the fish give the reef color as well as character ….. some are downright hilarious to watch ! I would rank PHH 2nd of the 17 resorts we have been to in terms of Corals . The coral recovery here is really impressive , and the fish life is not too bad either.! There were occasional shark white and black tip and quite a few large schools of colorful fish , a few eagle rays and we saw a 4 -5 foot barracuda just lying on the sea floor in a fairly shallow area. Quite the set of teeth as its mouth was open for all to see ! We always swam counter clockwise around the island heading out from our villa # 51 and we went left with the current although it turned against us a bit aways after the 1st jetty . The corals at PHH are lovely and put on quite a show … blue, orange, yellow, green , and the schools of fish are plentiful. We loved sitting on our deck after our swim with the open views stretching to the horizon …… so peaceful and dreamy! Island beauty This island is called the “ living island” as it is very eco friendly , uses solar power evident on top of all the water villas and there is no erosion control whatsoever on the island. Nabil the manager explained to us at breakfast how impassioned the owners are to keep the island natural. So we loved being on an island that is not only completely remote but had no erosion barriers… sand bags, dredging, walls etc . Nabil explained after a storm the sands shift around more here less there but they let nature take its course Dining …. Island grill is the best food on the island and has nice ambiance as well with our “ feet in the sand” but reservations are necessary and they fill up fast. PHH is a such a pretty little island and the powdery sand is plentiful and incredibly soft around most of the island The food is good perhaps not at the same elite level as some of the other 5 star resorts but we always found plenty we liked and it was presented nicely. The meat was exceptional , generous portions of Wagu beef , that was tender and well prepared. Bar We really like hanging out in the open air bar it is perfectly located on the beach and also borders the large pool. Staff The staff is amazing and some of the nicest and most attentive we have had in the Maldives…they have a genuine warmth and we felt very well taken care of….. Nazeef cleaned our room twice a day it was very well done and he was always helpful! The atmosphere with the warm breeze , waves lapping and starry sky above was something we will remember for a long time…. There is a in house photographer that is gave us a complimentary photo session and he had a drone which we used while swimming. Eid and Nabil (sp) the assistant GM who are both from Egypt took good care of us and along with every other staff member we came across were super friendly and helpful . Some of the staff were Chef Dave Nabil Eid mushfiq a sweet waiter speedy our waiter estill in the game room , waiters aisar and Frisca . Our Waiter during our beach dinner was rohit who did a fantastic job! Robin was our star gazing guru who was very informative . Darryl , binod , rajesh ,Rukoo and Tsiosela were more wonderful waiters. There were many more I can’t name but we loved them all and appreciate the many smiles we received all day long! We highly recommend this little Maldivian gem it’s a perfect little round barefoot island

Incredible stay at Hadahaa. Beautiful island, stunning reef and the most hospitable staff you could ever wish for. We had an 18 month old toddler with us and nothing was too much. Food & beverage options varied and of a very high quality. A truly special place that is worth the travel if going for enough nights.

We felt the Park Hyatt was a luxurious experience beyond anything we could’ve imagined. We were able to snorkel every morning before breakfast and that was the easiest experience of all. The staff at the dive shop guided us thoroughly about where to go, what time to go, what to look for, and what to watch out for. There was so much sea life that we saw new creatures each time. The service at the restaurants and the host staff was exceptional. We felt very spoiled and well taken care of with any need we had. Our one main adventure was the two hour nighttime snorkel, and even though I was afraid of dark water, our guide, Ahmed, made it so easy for us. He had great insight into all the creatures we saw that night, and he gave us great lights to use. He even took our camera down to take pictures of the animals up close for us. We also were very pleased with the hotel hosts at the airport. Every step of the way the guided us, they walked with us, and they were so kind to us. We were never left unattended. They even nicknamed my husband, “Mr. Handsome.”
