Super massage
Nov 12, 2024Shanna G
Great massage, relaxing and they are very nice.
It was very good and relaxing for my back pain. It was possible to focus one part of the body and avoid another in case of injury. We have chosen head and facial massage instead of foot because of an ankle injury
Best Holiday Ever

Best place for Snorkeling, if you like snorkeling this is the best place to experience marine life. Satyam at the Restaurant, Lahiru at the Bar were outstanding. Sorry don’t remember names of the other service associates, but each one of them were excellent.
Perfect winter week away

Such a beautiful little island, it really was like something out of a story book. We stayed here for 7 nights and could completely relax and do nothing, or take advantage of daily boat trips and entertainment if you’d prefer. We ventured out to the sandbank one day where we saw Dolphin and Manta Ray and took the sunset cruise another evening. I enjoyed an hour on the Jet Ski out in the Indian Ocean and we bothered took advantage of the spa with a massage. The service was fantastic, especially from Asim who took care of our accommodation every day and Hameesh who always gave us fantastic service in the restaurant. All the other staff were also so friendly and always gave us a smile, I couldn’t recommend Cinnamon Velifushi highly enough. Thank you for a perfect holiday!

As part of our honeymoon spent at Maldives Cinnamon Velafushi, the resort went the extra mile to make it special by making up our room and serving complimentary experiences.
