The resort is home to 5.8 Undersea Restaurant, described as the world's largest all-glass undersea restaurant, located 5.8 metres beneath the lagoon's surface. Hurawalhi is an adults' escape, welcoming guests aged 15 and over, and is reached by a scenic 40-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport.
