Relaxing and diving bliss in the Maldives

We had the most awesome time at the incredible island hotel. Staff were attentive and polite and went out of their way to help. Food was great, especially the fish, but the most amazing experience was snorkelling and scuba diving in the surrounding oceans. After 30 years diving some of the best in the world so make sure you spend time with Nicole and the team at the in-house dive centre!! We stayed in both water bungalow and then beach room - both awesome

We stayed at the resort for our honeymoon in one of the sunset water villa rooms. The resort blew away our already high expectations with their service and the facilities. The staff accommodated our requests and everything required for our stay was available at the resort. Special mention goes to the staff at Iru restaurant, the dive centre and the spa (we visited twice!). Would highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a place to experience Maldives!

My husband and I stayed at the cinnamon Velifushi on the last leg of our honeymoon. This resort was the best possible way to end our trip as they exceeded our expectations. Our villa was spacious and immaculately cleaned everyday. The selection for the excursions were great, and there was always something to do if you chose not to relax at the beach. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. Special thank you to Eema, who took care of us, answered all our questions and helped make the transfers seamless.
