The hotel

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.
