About this stay

Arriving at Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives by speedboat sets the tone for an exclusive island escape. The resort is designed to make the most of its clear water surroundings, with well-appointed suites featuring thatched wood ceilings and solid wood flooring, each offering ample seating and a private balcony with ocean views. Days here can be spent exploring the vibrant house reef, indulging in a diving excursion, or simply relaxing by the outdoor pool. The first-rate spa provides a sanctuary for rejuvenation, while the fitness centre caters to those who wish to stay active. With three distinct dining options, every meal is an opportunity to savour diverse flavours in a beautiful setting.

  • Speedboat access
  • House reef
  • Diving centre
  • Spa and wellness

Our take

I would book Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives when a short transfer and a dependable reef matter most. The speedboat from the airport takes about 20 minutes, and the house reef, diving centre, outdoor pool, fitness centre and spa cover active and lazy days alike, with three places to eat. Rated 9.2 from 799 reviews, it is a well-tested choice; travellers after a private-island hush will find it livelier.

  • ✓Take advantage of the house reef for easy snorkelling right from the shore.
  • ✓Book a spa treatment early in your stay to fully unwind and set the tone for relaxation.
  • ✓Explore the three dining options to experience the full range of culinary offerings.

Why we love it

  • Direct speedboat access from Male
  • Vibrant house reef for snorkelling
  • First-rate spa for ultimate relaxation
  • Excellent diving opportunities
Why guests love it

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is easy on families at the start and end of a trip: the speedboat transfer from Malé International Airport takes about 20 minutes, which matters with tired children. On the island, an outdoor pool gives younger children calm water, the house reef and diving centre suit older ones, and three dining options avoid the same restaurant every night. The spa gives parents a break. A 9.2 score from 799 reviews is strong.
