My wife and I took a trip to Cinnamon Velifushi in April 2023.

We took a FlyDubai flight from Dammam, Saudi Arabia via Dubai over to Male in the Maldives.

We booked everything separately, which works for us as we believe we can get a great deal – booking early, checking prices, emailing the property etc. – it’s just how we like to do things.

Even though water villas are available, we chose a Beach Villa. This was a personal choice as we wanted the beach/sand – which isn’t on your doorstep when you book a water villa.

We chose the Premium All Inclusive (PAI) over the All Inclusive (AI) as it offered not only more choice in respect to alcohol, but in addition there were 2 excursions, mini fridge top-up each day, romantic meal on the beach and a few other enhancements included. Well worth thinking about as if you’re going to be doing these things anyway, you’d be paying in addition to your All-Inclusive price!

Massive shout out to all the staff on the island. They could not do enough for you.

Summary of the Cinnamon Velifushi Resport

This peaceful aquatic paradise is home to a bevy of marine life, including the magnificent nurse shark. Harmless to humans, these unhurried creatures can grow up to 10 feet long, and form an impressive sight as they glide leisurely along the reef. Kids will love these up-close-and-personal experiences with nature at this pristine atoll. With minimal interference from boats and planes, wildlife is more inclined to visit. Even our Over-water villas and suites have a sinuous walkway that, from above, forms a shape reminiscent of a stingray!

When you’re turning in for the day, retire in one of our 90 remarkably spacious rooms. The sweeping views from each and every chic room at Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives are cleverly complemented by the airy, open, Italian-styled interiors. In our water villas, it’s nothing but you and the open sea! Throughout the hotel, each and every accent echoes the movements and natural tones of the ocean’s depths, so feel free to go with the flow…
When on vacation, calories don’t count! And that’s good news, because Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives has multiple wining and dining options for its esteemed guests, including a main restaurant, a chic pool bar, and a specialty seafood restaurant. Indulge in the exotic flavours at an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant featuring local and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and themed dinners.

To enjoy a relaxing drink amongst fellow holidaymakers, drop in at one of our three bars, stocked with a full selection of international beverages, including spirits, whisky, brandy, liqueurs, soft drinks, wine and champagne.

Location
The most treasured things in life are said to arrive in small packages, and, at 5 hectares, this glittering 5-star private island retreat is no exception. Secreted away in the quiet Vaavu Atoll, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is a short seaplane (or speedboat, if you prefer) ride away from Malé, and will hand you all the breathing space from reality that you desire.
This luxury island resort lies in a strategic position in the Vaavu Atoll, ensuring access to all the best dive sites in the area. Snorkelling or scuba diving at the house reef are highly recommended, particularly our one-of-a-kind ‘dive with sharks’ excursion. There are also other water-bound activities we have lined up for your enjoyment, including a sunset cruise on a local dhoni. Families with younger children are also encouraged to let them take part in the resort’s kids club at this family friendly resort, which includes games at the children’s play area.
