Maldives, Indian Ocean

4.5 stars

Maldives’ celebrated Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts opened Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives in October 2019, and with it, they’ve upped their luxury game even further. By enhancing Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives’ already fabulous all-inclusive package to ‘Virgin All-Inclusive’ or ‘Premium All-Inclusive’, you can expect indulgent villa upgrade options featuring saltwater jacuzzis and plunge pools, meal plan upgrades, and many more. Whichever package you pick, you’ll arrive by speedboat or seaplane to this island paradise amidst the pristine waters of the Vaavu Atoll that stars all the Maldivian musts; we’re talking exceptional diving and snorkelling spots, sunset cruises, island hopping experiences, and unforgettable dining venues like the alfresco VAH Global Dining and international à la carte cuisine on the beach at Iru Kitchen & Bar.

Its been my best experience to date. Lovely place to relax. Really nice bars with music in the background, rustling of the wind through the leaves, white sandy beaches. Wonderful staff - kind, gentle, patient. Very well maintained facilities.

“Best Decision We Ever Made for Our Maldives Trip”

Jun 29, 2026Mihira B

We had a wonderful stay at Cinnamon Velifushi and we are so happy with our overall experience. We originally booked a Sunset Water Bungalow with Jacuzzi for our first night, but the resort surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to a Water Villa with a private pool. This was such a generous gesture and made our stay even more special. For our second night, we had booked a Beach Bungalow, but the resort kindly upgraded us again to a Sunset Water Bungalow with Jacuzzi. We really appreciated both upgrades and it showed how much the team cares about their guests. From the moment we landed in Male, the Cinnamon team took great care of us. Their representative was already waiting at the airport when we arrived. While we waited for our transfer, the hotel arranged for us to relax in the airport lounge with complimentary breakfast which was a very thoughtful and kind gesture. The resort also arranged our transfers exactly as we requested. We came by speedboat from the airport to the resort and returned by seaplane, with one way transfer complimentary. Everything was very smooth and well organised. The restaurant staff were absolutely wonderful. They were so friendly, warm and helpful throughout our entire stay. They always made us feel welcome and took great care of us at every meal. The management team was also very approachable and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest had a great experience. The 5 course beach dinner was beautifully set up and the food was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the rain interrupted our dinner but we were very impressed by how quickly and calmly the staff handled the situation. They immediately arranged a lovely indoor dining setting so we could continue our dinner without any disruption. This really showed how professional and caring the team is. Overall, Cinnamon Velifushi went above and beyond our expectations in every way. The team always made us feel special and taken care of throughout our entire stay. Even when unexpected things happened, they handled everything with such warmth and professionalism. We will absolutely recommend this resort to our family and friends, and we hope to come back again one day. Thank you to the entire Cinnamon Velifushi team for making our Maldives trip a truly unforgettable memory.
