Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa

If you want a special holiday, the Maldives are the place to go. If you want a VERY special holiday, you want to go to the Park Hyatt, Hadahaa! I was a little unsure about the travelling distance and why the resort was called “The Living Island” but once you experience the resort, the time falls into insignificance and the “Living Island” becomes so clear. With around 50 Villas, some over water, some with private pools and the remainder providing a private and secluded world, the island is not huge. It’s only 1.4km to walk around. It does however have 4 restaurants, an astronomer, marine biologists, personal hosts, a spa and the most amazing coral reef. The dining is 5star with such a choice you will never run out of new experiences. My wife and I are vegetarians so, as this was an island, we were expecting a limited choice. How wrong was I! The restaurant manager, KT, has the most customer service conscious team around him and chef’s who conjure different delights every day. Sundowners, beach BBQs or a meal overlooking the pool, beach and waves are everyday experiences made even more special by the attentive, friendly and ever helpful staff. The villa was serviced daily, twice daily if you prefer, and kept spotless. All the amenities you’d expect from 5-star accommodation are available and you have private access to the beaches. We could even have meals at the villa if we wished. The Living Island is just as it says and it all centres around an ethos of taking care of the environment. Every member of staff, top to bottom, really believes that the island is very precious and has to be protected. There are no motor vehicles, only electric, water comes from an internal spring, electricity is generated by solar panels on the roofs of the buildings and they have their own kitchen garden. All the villas are wood and there is no concrete allowed. The dive centre has two marine biologists who are passionate about the coral reef that surrounds the island and the life within it. We had a guided tour and several talks on all things marine which makes the snorkeling really come to life. The colour of fish and coral is spectacular and with crystal clear water, the fish are just inches away and seem to be fascinated by humans visiting their world as they flocked around me as I swam. I could carry on all day about this holiday experience but I wouldn’t give it justice. You have to try for yourselves!

The staff at Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa truly exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. We’ve traveled extensively around the world, but we’ve never experienced such exceptional service at PH Maldives Hadahaa. We’re already missing everyone there! We visited Bora Bora and compared the reefs. PH Hyatt Maldives boasts a much more accessible reef with a vast array of house reefs that you can easily jump from your over-water villa or jetty. We’re excited about our next visit to PH Maldives! Abby, our personal host, you’re incredibly genuine and helpful! Your efforts made our stay at PH Maldives feel like a warm and welcoming home. Executive Chef Dave is incredibly down-to-earth and approachable. he is also very attentive to our opinions and feedback. We had such a wonderful experience, feeling like we were truly welcomed and valued at every stop!

Exceptional service, stunning reef, serene villas - pure luxury and peace at Park Hyatt. Special thanks to Karthik, a friendly manager for his warm care.

Outstanding resort, excellent house reef, truly beautiful and clean grounds. The staff members are very friendly, helpful, and take excellent care of every guest. They do everything possible to fulfill their every wish. The Dhoni deserves special mention: Estii, Rouku and Robin made our stay at the Park Hyatt truly special. They organized amazing games—both on the beach and inside the Dhoni. It became our son's favorite place, and he learned so many wonderful new things from the trio :-). Many thanks to Eid, he organized our stay perfectly and took care of all our needs. A special thank also to Speedy for his wonderful sauce and to Mully and Bittu. Very kind people which made our stay at the Park Hyatt special. We are already looking forward to our return to this very beautiful living island.

The island is beautiful and an absolute dream. The 360 degree reef is unique. The villas are wonderfully furnished. The food is really excellent and the service also for a 5*+ hotel absolutely outstanding. Special thanks to the Food & Beverage Manager Kartikeya Nischol and his team for making the difference!!! Although the weather was not so good at times, it was a fantastic holiday, how to imagine a stay in paradise! We want to go back!!!
