About the island

Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is located in North Ari Atoll and belongs to Sri Lanka's Cinnamon hotel group; it was renovated in 2018. Ellaidhoo is little known in China, but it enjoys great fame on the World Diving Association list. Friends who like diving and love marine life will find Ellaidhoo's sea very worth visiting.

Why stay here

Ellaidhoo is very quiet, with few Chinese guests and mostly European and American guests. The island itself has average snorkeling conditions, but the deep-diving conditions in the nearby waters are very good. "Environment," "service," "ambiance," "privacy," and "independence"—these five themes are the starting points of Ellaidhoo's tourism philosophy and hotel design. The hotel takes the art of living as its premise and is full of creativity throughout its architecture, food, entertainment, and internal facilities. If tourists want to enjoy the highest standard of "vacation," then this is a good place to have a space truly belonging to oneself.

Highlights

Little artificial trace, clean and comfortable, and most importantly, moderately priced with very high cost performance! The prices of various paid activities on the island are also reasonable, so there is no burden to enjoy them. Therefore, if you can form a group, try not to miss them and try them all, especially night diving—be sure to try it. Many things cannot be seen during the day, such as large lobsters, and some corals bloom at night. Ellaidhoo's treasure is the magnificent marine life in that stretch of sea; do not miss it.

Before you go

Privacy is fairly average, with a ring of breakwaters around it.
