THERE IS MORE TO Maldives than crystal waters and white sandy beaches. Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is proof of the diverse landscape and marine life experiences that the island nation offers. Located in Vaavu Atoll, in the middle of the eastern barrier, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives offers an indulgent island escapade with luxury accommodation, world-class amenities, action-packed activities, and excellent dining options.
With stunning Italian architecture, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is created in the style of a green island-oasis and is surrounded by white sandy beaches. The resort is ideal for families, couples, and solo adventurers alike. Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is also located close to the best dives sites in Vaavu Atoll and is 67 kilometres from the commercial hub Malé. You can arrive at the resort either by seaplane or speedboat.
A variety of authentic experiences awaits one on the island, including ocean and sand bank excursions and local island tours. The Vaavu Atoll is one of the least populated in the Maldives, making it a prime dive area. You can go snorkelling or scuba diving or explore shipwreck dive sites here. The unique 'swim with sharks' excursion lets visitors get up close and personal with nurse sharks. During good months, you can also spot the diverse marine life of Maldives. From whitetip and blacktip sharks to sting rays, the unsullied conditions in Vaavu Atoll offer magical diving experiences.
