Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives

I had an amazing stay at Cinnamon Velifushi for 9 nights and 10 days. We booked an ocean water villa, which offered breathtaking views and direct access to the ocean. The villa was spacious and well-furnished, with generously sized bathrooms and toilets. The food was exceptional, offering a wide variety of options. The staff were outstanding—very cooperative and gentle. One recommendation, however: - There is not much to do at night after dinner. It would be great if the resort offered hookah/shisha and additional activities for the evenings.

Our time on the island was more than just a holiday – it was a heart-touching experience we’ll never forget. The island itself is stunning, but it’s the people who made it truly magical. Jameel, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You prepared our room every day with so much love and care. The little surprises, the peaceful energy, and your warm conversations, everything came from the heart. You also gave us amazing snorkeling tips, and thanks to you, we discovered so many beautiful things underwater – colorful fish, turtles, and even small sharks! Your joy and kindness made us feel at home, and we are so grateful for you. At the restaurant, we were greeted every day by Mujes, who had a calm, relaxed way about him that we really appreciated. He always had a smile and took time to talk with us. What we loved most was how he shared our excitement when we told him what we had seen while snorkeling, you could see the happiness in his face, and it made our moments even more special. In the kitchen, Satyam and Ratna also made us feel truly welcome. They always greeted us with a big smile and did a fantastic job. Whether it was a quick joke or a short chat, they brought warmth and joy into every mealtime. So kind, so present – it was a pleasure to meet them. Anas at the bar was simply wonderful. One of the kindest, most heartful people we met – full of light, always smiling, and spreading such good energy. Every time he came by, it felt more like meeting a friend than being served. And to the football guys : thank you! That match was something I’ll never forget. It was full of joy and connection. As a woman, it’s not always easy to step onto a field, but you gave me chances, passed the ball, and treated me with full respect. It wasn’t “staff and guests” – we were just people, sharing the same joy. That match meant so much to me. Truly, thank you for that moment. DJ Tulash gave the nights a special energy, full of rhythm, smiles, and great vibes. We loved dancing to his music! And then the magic of the saxophonist. He played with so much soul and style, smooth, cool, full of feeling. It touched us deeply. He saw us dancing and appreciated it, and we appreciated his music just as much. That moment of shared joy, through music, was unforgettable. This island is not just beautiful, it’s full of beautiful people. Thank you all for filling our days with heart, soul, and unforgettable memories.

My boyfriend and I spent a week at Cinnamon Velifushi at the end of July, and it was truly a magnificent stay. The island is beautifully maintained — every corner is clean, lush, and picture-perfect. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and relaxing, making it the ideal place to unwind and disconnect from the world. What made our experience even more special was the wonderful staff. Everyone was professional, kind, and attentive throughout our stay. A special mention goes to our amazing waiter, Ali, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He treated us with so much care and warmth — truly one of the most genuine and professional people we've ever met. His attention to detail and kind-hearted nature made every meal feel special. Cinnamon Velifushi gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return!
