Hurawalhi is not just a resort – it’s one that strives to make a difference when it comes to the environment. An important role in the island’s sustainability endeavours is played by the Marine Biology Centre, which we set up together with Prodivers Maldives and Manta Trust, and is the atoll’s most comprehensive ocean conservation facility. With resident marine biologists combining diving and snorkelling excursions with projects such as coral nurseries and local community outreach – not to forget the ongoing manta ray and turtle research – you have a unique opportunity to learn more about Maldives’ coral reef from the people who possess vast knowledge about this incredible environment.

Coral reefs of the Maldives, deemed the best year-round diving and snorkelling destination in the Indian Ocean, are proof that the country’s striking beauty extends to the underwater, so be sure to add an excursion or two, group or private, with Hurawalhi’s passionate marine biologists to sate your hunger for adventure! Keep your fingers crossed to meet some of the 380 manta rays that we’ve identified in the atoll so far!

Trips with marine biologists tend to fill fast – secure a slot on your bucket list activities by booking soon enough through the Hurawalhi App.
