Two of the Maldives’ most beloved island getaways, Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives and Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, have earned global recognition at the TUI Global Hotel Awards 2025. These celebrated resorts were named Quality Winners based on exceptional feedback from travellers around the world, reinforcing their status as premier destinations for unforgettable island experiences.
The TUI Global Hotel Awards represent one of the travel industry’s most respected accolades, with winners selected through the reviews of over 20 million guests globally. This recognition underscores Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ steadfast commitment to delivering superior service, immersive hospitality, and curated guest experiences that reflect the serene beauty and cultural richness of the Maldives.
Expressing pride in the achievement, Mohammed Shihab, Commercial Director of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Maldives, shared heartfelt thanks to the resorts’ guests. He highlighted the personal connections built with visitors and the cherished memories created, saying, “It’s a privilege to welcome guests to our island homes, where every stay is shaped by meaningful moments and authentic Maldivian warmth.”
Conveniently located just 20 minutes by speedboat from Malé, Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives has long been a top choice for families, surf enthusiasts, and leisure travellers. The resort’s spacious beachfront villas and overwater suites provide the perfect blend of comfort and style, while a variety of family-friendly amenities and world-class facilities cater to guests of all ages. Among its highlights is the iconic Pasta Point surf break, renowned as one of the best surfing spots in the Maldives—which draws wave riders from across the globe.
Further north in the atoll lies Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, a sanctuary for underwater explorers. Home to a spectacular house reef recognized by Lonely Planet, the resort is a dream destination for diving and snorkelling. Guests can encounter a dazzling variety of marine life just steps from their rooms, including a local celebrity Tripod, a three-flippered Hawksbill sea turtle who frequently graces the surrounding waters. The resort’s 24 water bungalows offer direct access to this marine haven, ensuring an unforgettable stay for ocean lovers.
Beyond the natural wonders, both resorts are thoughtfully designed to meet the desires of every kind of traveller. From island hopping and sunset cruises to big-game fishing adventures and cultural experiences, guests can curate their ideal getaway. Wellness is also a key part of the journey, with Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives’ Mandara Spa and Ellaidhoo Maldives’ Chavana Spa offering a full menu of treatments that invite deep relaxation and renewal. For active visitors, facilities like tennis courts, squash, beach volleyball, and well-equipped gyms provide plenty of opportunities to stay energised.
