Travellers continue to return to the Maldives in search of clear lagoons, warm hospitality and memorable experiences that reflect both the destination and their individual preferences. As guest expectations evolve globally, research indicates a distinct shift towards more tailored stays rather than standardised offerings. A recent Mews survey reports that 68% of travellers prefer personalised experiences instead of generic rewards, with this preference particularly strong among Gen Z and affluent travellers. Against this backdrop, Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts Maldives has refined its Book Direct value proposition to place personal choice and curated experiences at the centre of each stay.
Under the updated Book Direct structure, guests who reserve their stay directly with Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Maldives can now select two curated experiences from each resort’s personalised list, in addition to enjoying resort credits for stays of three nights or more. These credits may be used across dining, wellness and recreational activities, enabling guests to shape their holiday according to their interests, pace and preferred style of travel. Whether guests are seeking relaxation, soft adventure, marine discovery or immersive culinary moments, the framework is designed to offer flexibility while highlighting the unique strengths of each island resort in the Maldives portfolio.
Members of Cinnamon Discovery, the brand’s loyalty programme, receive an elevated level of access to these Book Direct benefits based on membership tier. Silver members may select two experiences, Gold members may choose three, and Platinum members are entitled to enjoy all the experiences listed at the resort they book. This tiered approach reinforces the value of loyalty while giving repeat guests even greater scope to personalise their time in the Maldives through carefully selected signature activities and experiences.

For stays of three nights or more, guests also receive a resort credit of USD 150 per room per stay, which can be used to enhance their visit through additional dining, spa rituals or recreational pursuits around the island.
