About the island

Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is the fourth resort opened in the Maldives by Sri Lanka's Cinnamon Hotels Resorts (also called the Cinnamon hotel group). Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives officially opened on October 1, 2019. The hotel is located in Vaavu Atoll and can be reached by a 25-minute seaplane ride from Male International Airport in the Maldives. The island has a total of 90 villas, and guests can choose a superior beach pavilion room, beach bungalow, overwater villa, sunset overwater villa with Jacuzzi, or overwater suite with pool as their vacation retreat.

Why stay here

A hotel opened on October 1, 2019; the island's facilities and rooms are the newest; the beach area is large and the lagoon scenery is beautiful; it is the fourth hotel in the Maldives for Sri Lanka's Cinnamon group, with relatively good brand management.

Highlights

Room facilities are new, and the lagoon scenery is beautiful. All-inclusive is worry-free and offers high value for money.

Before you go

Little vegetation, and privacy is average; apart from the overwater pool suites having private pools, other room types have no pool!
