Discover paradise at the lush private island resort of Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. With a protected turquoise lagoon and one of the best house reefs in the world, you’ll want to spend as much time underwater as possible, but there’s plenty to tempt you back on land.
A fine white sand beach on one side of the island gives way to a green oasis housing a well-equipped fitness centre and full-service spa where you can relax and rejuvenate. At the head of the island, a string of recently refurbished water bungalows take centre stage, framing a stunning infinity pool and poolside bar.
Situated 42km from Malé, you can get to Ellaidhoo in 25 minutes with a breathtaking seaplane journey or 95 minutes by speedboat.
The ocean is the star of the show at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. Snorkel or dive the resort’s incredible house reef for the chance to see a dazzling variety of marine life, including turtles, sharks, rays, octopus, and a mind-blowing assortment of tropical fish. The resort is also close to numerous other top dive sites.
If you’d rather be on the water, you can join a thrilling dolphin safari or try your hand at fishing and enjoy your catch for dinner the following day.
The resort is well-situated for local island tours, where you can get a flavour of traditional Maldivian culture, or visit an uninhabited island or sand bank and enjoy sunbathing, snorkelling, and a picnic.
