Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Captures the Magic of Maldivian Sunsets

Tuesday 19th of August 2025

The Maldives has been recognised as one of the top ten destinations in the world to watch the sunset, a title that reflects the islands’ natural beauty and allure. Guests at Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives know this well, as each evening sky reveals a unique canvas of colours. Some nights are ablaze with fiery gold and crimson, while others soften into gentle shades of pink and violet.

At the resort, the sunset is not simply something to watch but something to experience. Guests can join a dolphin cruise, where pods of dolphins leap and spin alongside the boat as the horizon shifts from gold to deep orange. For a more private encounter, a personal dolphin-watching trip offers the same breathtaking scene in a quieter setting.

For those drawn to the ocean, shark watching and fishing excursions provide a different kind of adventure. Big game and sunset fishing create moments of calm anticipation followed by bursts of excitement when a catch is made, leaving guests with memories that last well beyond their stay.

Dining at sunset adds yet another dimension to the experience. The Golden Hour by the Beach sets a private table on the shoreline with wine, a curated cheese platter and a five-course menu. Guests may enjoy reef fish with tropical salsa, grilled seafood and dark chocolate mousse with passionfruit coulis while the sun dips below the horizon.

For the ultimate evening, the Luxury Sandbank Date offers a six-course fine dining menu prepared by a private butler. Surrounded by uninterrupted views of the sea and sky, dishes such as seared scallops, lobster thermidor and vanilla panna cotta are served as daylight fades into starlight.

When the sun finally sets, the magic lingers. The overwater walkways glow softly, the lagoon shimmers in silver under the moon, and the sky fills with constellations. In the Maldives, every sunset is the beginning of something unforgettable.
