A 4-star surf island in North Malé Atoll beside the Pasta Point break, 20 to 25 minutes from Malé by speedboat.
Cinnamon Dhonveli is a 7.5-hectare island in North Malé Atoll, 20 to 25 minutes from Malé by speedboat. It's best known for surfing at Pasta Point, the break off the island, and Resortlife also rates its house reef as good for snorkelling and diving.
There are 148 rooms and villas. The Beach, Garden and Water Bungalows are the standard categories; the Superior Ocean View Duplexes (59 m²) are two-level rooms near the break; Junior Beach Suites (95 m²) add a separate living area; Overwater Suites (94 m²) have glass floor panels; and the Beach Suites with Pool (170 m²) have a plunge pool. All sleep up to three.
Koimala and Maakana are the buffet restaurants, Rehendhi serves seafood à la carte to guests in the Overwater Suites and Beach Suites with Pool, and there's a Beach Bar and the Raiyvilla Bar. Chavana Spa by Mandara offers Balinese treatments, including a four-hand massage, and ELEMIS facials.
This profile comes from travel agencies, because the resort's own website couldn't be checked. The price is only maldives.com's 'starting from' range, so treat it as a rough guide, and Rehendhi is open only to guests in the Overwater Suites and Beach Suites with Pool.
