Relaxing and diving bliss in the Maldives

We had the most awesome time at the incredible island hotel. Staff were attentive and polite and went out of their way to help. Food was great, especially the fish, but the most amazing experience was snorkelling and scuba diving in the surrounding oceans. After 30 years diving some of the best in the world so make sure you spend time with Nicole and the team at the in-house dive centre!! We stayed in both water bungalow and then beach room - both awesome

5/5 would recommend

My husband and I stayed at the cinnamon Velifushi on the last leg of our honeymoon. This resort was the best possible way to end our trip as they exceeded our expectations. Our villa was spacious and immaculately cleaned everyday. The selection for the excursions were great, and there was always something to do if you chose not to relax at the beach. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. Special thank you to Eema, who took care of us, answered all our questions and helped make the transfers seamless.

A must have experience

It was the perfect honeymoon ! The island is a natural beauty. There is the atoll that you can enjoy by walking on it. Turqoise ocean waters and white coral sands are something to behold. Rooms were spacious, exquisite and clean. The room service cleans them every morning. The staff are lovely and super helpful. There is also a diving Center which you can book dives, jetski rides etc. Overall perfect experience !

Muhammad Arsalan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the resort for our honeymoon in one of the sunset water villa rooms. The resort blew away our already high expectations with their service and the facilities. The staff accommodated our requests and everything required for our stay was available at the resort. Special mention goes to the staff at Iru restaurant, the dive centre and the spa (we visited twice!). Would highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a place to experience Maldives!

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing, simply exceptional! My wife and I loved the resort. Large, clean rooms with everything you need. A great big bed, excellent showers and facilities (gym etc). Such fantastic service too! I would recommend the Premium all Inclusive as this package includes two day trips to nearby islands (which are amazing *Thanks Shakeel!) and a couples massage. Overall 10x stars!!

Very well managed and good staff, variety of food private sea access actually it looks much better than photos. Isolated inside the resort , no activites . Perfect for Honey mooners , lovers and not mre thsn 4 dsud for others
HANY, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort and the staff were amazing. The executive chef Chau was a highlight of our trip. She was always so friendly, welcoming and up for a chat! The menu had a great variety and changed daily so you could always try something different. Location was perfect for snorkling, however, bring your own snorkles as they are not included and can add up very quickly over a few days. The suites are definitely worth it as they were amazing!
Aaron, 7-night trip

Amazing experience

Faultless resort. We stayed for a week in one of the water villas with half board. The room was super spacious, cleaned twice a day. There are fish, baby sharks, reys, all at your footstep. There were plenty of food options and activities. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Excursions were a bit pricey but it's to be expected as you are quite isolated
The view from the sea villa
Julianne, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

The sunset water bungalow was amazing. The property was still very new, so they were not 100% settled. The staff are wonderful, the food is wonderful, the rooms are really well done and furnished. As a solo female traveler, I appreciated the peace and the safety of the place. They are well orchestrated from the time you reach the airport to the transfer to the hotel and back.

The whole experience was amazing, the villa was amazing with perfect views and being able to snorkle right off your balcony was perfect, the waters are crystal clear and warm and marine life is out of this world. The staff and service is the best I have ever experienced, the food is plentiful and of top quality. definitely go fully inclusive, it is so worth it. I rate this 10/10 as it is truly superb.
