Huraa Island

Huraa Island is a vibrant local island just 25 minutes from Velana International Airport, offering a rare blend of Maldivian culture and natural beauty.

Historically, Huraa was once home to members of the Maldivian royal family and retains a deep sense of heritage, visible in its centuries-old mosque and the friendly hospitality of its people. One of the island’s most remarkable natural features is its mangrove forest, a protected area that supports a unique ecosystem of crabs, herons, and other wildlife, making it an excellent spot for nature walks and birdwatching.

The island charms visitors with its warm community, traditional craftsmanship, and easy access to world-class snorkeling, diving, and surfing.
