The Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives takes its name from the Maldivian word for crystal white sand, and it isn’t difficult to see why. Dhonveli is situated on a private island, surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. A secluded tropical paradise, the resort combines authentic Maldivian design and décor with modern comforts, facilities and amenities, to offer guests the ultimate Maldivian holiday experience. Why not treat yourself to a stay in an Over Water Suite — resting over the shallow waters surrounding the island, they offer privacy and seclusion. They have a spacious bedroom and a living area with glass panel to watch the marine life below, whilst outside a private sun deck has steps directly down into the water.

Great place to chill and unwind. Staff are all friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff at Koimala were all brilliant. We had special dietary requirement, Srimanti, Hiruni, Sharif and Chef Dilshan all went out of their way and looked after us. Huge thanks to the team.

“Wonderful holiday at Cinnamon Dhonveli”

Oct 11, 2026Darina Y

We had a wonderful time at Cinnamon Dhonveli! Everything was wonderful - the beautiful beach, our beach bungalow, the delicious food, and the excellent service. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. A very special mention goes to Afnaan at the restaurant, who was always so kind, friendly, and welcoming. His warmth and positive attitude made our dining experience even more enjoyable. He was also so lovely with our little Ar-Rayan, and we really appreciated how sweetly he interacted with him. Ar-Rayan sends him a big hello! We would also like to recognise Srimanti and Mira for their kindness, care, and assistance throughout our stay. They helped make our holiday even more comfortable and enjoyable. As a family travelling with a little one, we especially appreciated that the team prepared delicious purées for our baby. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and he absolutely loved them! Our bungalow was always spotlessly clean, thanks to Rahman, who made sure everything was taken care of promptly and thoroughly. Rafiqul and Moklesh at the beach bar also deserve a mention for their warm hospitality and great drinks. A big thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We would love to come back!
