Rooms with Ocean Views

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives offers air-conditioned rooms with tea/coffee makers, minibars, and safety deposit boxes. Each room includes hot and cold water, life jackets, and private bathrooms with beach towels. Options include Duplex Garden Bungalows with garden views, overwater bungalows with spa baths and ocean access, and suites with private terraces and walk-in showers. Some rooms feature DVD players and sofa beds.

Dining and Bars

The resort has three buffet restaurants-Koimala, Maakana, and Rehendi-serving local and international dishes. Four bars include Raiyvilla Bar for sunset views and two oceanfront bars serving cocktails and beer. One bar is located on the sand among deck chairs and loungers.

Surf, Dive, Relax

The resort is home to Pasta Point, a premier surf spot since 1992. Dive and Sail, a certified diving center, offers guided dives and water sports. Mandara Spa features ELEMIS products, three double treatment villas, steam rooms, and signature treatments like the Mandara Massage. A heated saltwater pool and yoga classes are available.

North Malé Atoll Location

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is in the North Malé Atoll, 5 km from Dhaalu Atoll. Nearby landmarks include Huraa Island (0.5 km), Lankanfushi (4.5 km), and Kanifinolhu (3 km). Speedboat transfers are required for access to and from the resort.

Excursions and Services

The resort organizes cultural excursions to local islands like Huraa to experience Maldivian daily life. Private island day trips are available for couples and families. Room service includes ironing facilities, free toiletries, and garden furniture. Children under 2 stay free in a baby cot, with a city tax of USD 8 per night.

“Cinnamon Dhonveli immediately impresses with its speedboat arrival from Malé, setting the stage for a memorable, convenient beginning; the option for all-inclusive packages enhances the carefree island experience, particularly appealing to families since up to two children can stay and dine without extra cost. It's a place where the focus remains on enjoying the ocean and Maldives beauty. A smart choice, in my opinion.”
