Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives wins leading surf resort title at Maldives Travel Awards

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives has been recognised as the leading surf resort in Maldives. The award was presented at the prestigious Maldives Travel Awards gala, held at Crossroads Maldives last month. 

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives has also won the ‘Leading Surf Resort’ accolade at the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2019. Located no more than a 25-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport, Dhonveli’s proximity and diversity combine to make it one of the most popular destinations in the Maldives.

The island is constantly buzzing with action as divers, surfers and beach bums alike find a common ground in the world of excitement this little island has to offer. Magnificent waves and a policy of sustainable surfing combine to make Pasta Point at Cinnamon Dhonveli one of the most sought after surfing locations by award-winning surfers from around the world.

Large families, groups of friends, divers and snorkelling buffs all seem to find a comfortable common ground in the heady atmosphere of the 16-acre island as well. Sink your teeth into the succulent seafood and indulge in the theme nights at each of the three restaurants with the best of international cuisine. Unwind at the spa or sink into the comforts of the 148 plush rooms.
