Description

This is a popular resort with welcoming staff, an easy-going nature and a great-value all inclusive.
Offering an affordable escape to the Maldives, Cinnamon Dhonveli showcases the diversity of the Indian Ocean, with a dramatic surf break with crashing waves to one side of the island and a calm lagoon for snorkelling on the other. Towards the end of 2019, most rooms and facilities will have a fresh new look as the island is undergoing a major refurbishment.

There’s a casual, laid-back vibe here. For dining, you’ll be allocated one of the three restaurants – Koimala in the gardens, Maakana with a view of the surf break, or Rehendhi at the edge of the lagoon. All are buffet-style, with a wide choice of international dishes and live cooking stations. Raalhu Bar’s outdoor deck overlooks a renowned surf point, and dolphins and even pilot whales can occasionally be spotted, while the Raiyvilaa Bar is the perfect spot for sundowners.

Rooms are housed under thatched roofs. Choose between the Superior Ocean View or Beach Bungalows facing the ocean. We love the two-storey Exclusive Duplex Garden Bungalows (exclusively reserved for Kuoni UK guests from November to February) for the space and excellent value that they offer, as well as the fact that they sit in shaded gardens just steps from the ocean. Inside you’ll find white walls and floors, a downstairs lounge area plus a mezzanine bedroom with balcony. Over water, options include Water Bungalows, which have a peaceful location in a shallow lagoon, and the premium Overwater Suites, which have direct access to the ocean. From November, you can also choose the new Junior Beach Suite or Beach Suite with Pool.

Good to know
Cinnamon Dhonveli is undergoing refurbishment until Oct 2019. The resort allows a very small number of surfers to enjoy its world-class surf break. It’s worth noting that we’re unable to arrange surfing holidays here and you won’t be able to arrange any surfing once you arrive, but if you’re looking to take to the water we can recommend the local snorkelling and diving. Minimum age 12 in Water Bungalows. The Rehendhi bar, restaurant and pool are exclusively for Overwater Suite guests. Guests in other room types can dine here but at a supplement.
