Luxury Beach Holidays & Hotels

Tucked away in the North Male Atoll, a 50-minute speedboat journey away from Male, Makunudu Island is a true Maldivian retreat and a rare find. This gem of a resort offers the authentic Maldives as it used to be and is ideal for a peaceful, intimate getaway or a honeymoon.

A wonderful 45-minute seaplane flight from Male airport takes you to the fine white sand beaches of the southern tip of Noonu Atoll and the Sun Siyam Iru Fushi resort, one of the few luxury resorts in the Maldives to feature a children's club. Noonu Atoll is renowned for its spectacular dive site and is home to spinner dolphins, reef sharks and abundant coral life.

White sands fringed by turquoise waters and the whisper of a breeze passing through palm trees are the hallmarks Cinnamon Dhonveli.
