This lush resort is blessed with amazingly colourful coral reefs, a fine white sandy beach on one side of the island and a turquoise lagoon, making it perfect for those seeking unspoiled surrounds in which to relax. You won’t want to miss the underwater world though so be sure to grab a snorkel, jump in and discover the spectacular marine life. Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon offers warm friendly service and has a great range of amenities, as well as regular entertainment for those chilled island evenings. Choose to access the island by an exhilarating speedboat ride or travel by seaplane, a great way to arrive, offering spectacular aerial views.

We have just returned from paradise. This island is amazing. I have no complaints whatsoever. The staff are all great and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We stayed in a water bungalow and was beautiful and very clean and spacious with everything you need.
Clear blue water and white sandy beaches.
The snorkelling is out out this world with so many species of tropical fish. Sharks ,manta rays , hermit crabs, bats. Beautiful trees and flowers.
Food is great with plenty of choice for all.
If you get a chance take it and go you will definitely not be disappointed.

This island is bigger than it looks in the photos. There are around 90 rooms (est) so a reasonably busy resort. The huge plus point is the house reef which is very active.

This island is bigger than it looks in the photos. There are around 90 rooms (est) so a reasonably busy resort. The huge plus point is the house reef which is very active. So many wonderful fish, coral, sharks, rays etc etc. We had an issue on arrival where our booked room was not available and so we were downgraded the first night. To compensate we were upgraded to a beach bungalow for the rest of our 4 night stay. Majority of staff very friendly and accommodating. These guys and girls work long shifts away from home so understandable if they are not all on form 100% of the time but on the whole a great team. Food was exceptional, we are both leaving with holiday weight from eating so well. Wonderful place ideal for marine life lovers and those who want a livelier resort.

Adam top, WiFi flop
Nov 9, 2024Urs D
There was only one downside: WIFi is useless. Please upgrade soon. However our Beach Bungalow was great and Adam the house keeping boy did a fantastic job! Food and drinks just perfect. Service overall was ok. Fins, mask and snorkel rental for the week 85 $ is to expensive. And then the WiFi…:-)
Amazing, relaxing and worth every day spent there.

My second visit here and I thought. Be fun to see the wildlife again, I was firstly struck by the awesome staff, as last time. They was brilliant from boat trips to food and drink.
My wife and I went to bar and was recognised straight away by one of the staff. He even remembered my wife’s drink. Nazeer is polite and Osanda and Chandana was amazing. Was amazing time snorkelling and last time we bought a book of the fish that could be seen on and around the island. I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d find another 120+ types of fish, insects, land animals, bats, birds and crabs.
A few days had blew past and we went to the reef again and got surrounded by young sharks and rays later on as well as massive shoals of colourful fish. Then the Seanic Cafe and bar was our point of call for a very nice meal and drinks. Where we spotted Madawa, who we met last time. He was full of smiles and remembered me also as we chatted as if I was never away. The service during our meals there was brilliant, Shareef went beyond his duties in service and made us feel welcome at all times. Even made me a real nice boat out of my napkin. Loved it. All the staff was awesome but the named went beyond and made me and my wife feel welcomed. Awesome place. This is why I gave it 5*. Simply because these guys and gals made it a dream. Sadly it felt I only got my toe in the water and we was having to pack to go home. A very quick week for my wife and I. Food wildlife hospitality is second to none. Love you guys.
Also like to mention Azmuun, Raishean, Shifeean, Jessica and Damith.
Sorry if spelling wrong. The room staff are superb too.
Till we meet again Bon voyage. X🏴 🇲🇻🏴🇲🇻🏴x
