Surfing Holidays to Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives

Great Escapes is proud to offer surfing holidays to the world’s top destinations. We can put together for you full package surfing holidays, complete with international flights and transfers.

Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives is one of the best surf resorts in the Maldives – and also the world – and offers its guests exclusive access to the iconic ‘Pasta Point’. Atoll Travel, which runs the surf programme on Cinnamon Dhonveli, has a strict limit of 30 surf passes per day to surf the waves at Pasta Point, meaning that if you are not pre-booked on a surf package you cannot surf in the resort. Great Escapes Diving Holidays is an approved UK agent for Atoll Travel, so you can book your surf holidays through us to guarantee your surf spot.

Getting to the resort is a simple 25 minutes speedboat ride from Male and upon arrival you will feel relaxed and excited in equal measure. The resort is centred around activity and there is certainly plenty to do here. While the focus is on surfing there is also diving, snorkelling and motorised and non motorised water sports. The resort also runs nightly entertainment and excursions to keep everyone entertained.

For those looking for a more relaxed break there is the Chaavana Balinese Spa which overlooks the lagoon and has a range of treatments and therapies to soothe your muscles after a tiring day of activity.
