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

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.

Our stay at Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives was absolutely outstanding from arrival to departure. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable, ensuring that we felt welcomed, comfortable, and cared for throughout our stay.
The snorkeling experience was incredible, with crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and an abundance of colorful marine life just a short distance from the resort. It was one of the most beautiful snorkeling locations we have ever visited.
The food was exceptional, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes every day. The quality, presentation, and flavors exceeded our expectations, and there was always something new and exciting to enjoy.
What truly made our stay special was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, especially the Sri Lankan staff Harith, Prasad, chameen, Lasitha, Earnest, Hansini, Sithuni and the rest of the team at the restaurant whose kindness, professionalism, and genuine friendliness made us feel at home. Their dedication and attention to detail were remarkable.
Thank you, Cinnamon Velifushi, for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect Maldivian getaway and look forward to returning in the future.
P.S Ask for Ali if you like to be treated like royalty.

All the staff were incredibly friendly. We would especially like to mention Rahish, our waiter, who was always in a great mood, gave us helpful recommendations, and prepared delicious drinks. A special thank you also to Harith, who prepared the themed meals. His kind smile and positive energy will stay in our memories. And of course, Thilini, who made the perfect crêpes every morning :)
Thank you to the entire team for making our honeymoon so memorable. We would love to come back one day!

Premium and Pleasent
Jun 6, 2026Shivanthan S
Keep it simple; if you want a quite, pretty, well looked after, pleasent experience, this is your place to go. The restaurant options are limited but the room, location, view, staff, facilities outweighed this in my opinion. Please note there is only 1 pool.
Highly recommend
