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.

Overall good island resort, staff is great and reef is full of life. Special mention for Chefs and restaurant staff of Seanik Cafe for accommodating our special requests.
Had an unpleasant experience though when they made us check out and leave early as some other guest had earlier flight. This was total surprise as we were told on departure eve. We had planned early morning snorkel and leisurely breakfast but instrad had to pack at 11pm in night and just leave room at 6.30 am. Manager at reception told us that they had kept a departure letter in the room informing timing...we may have missed it...but its just not fair to prepone departure by 2.5 hours. I felt this bit cheap and sneaky to save on boat fuel which robbed us from precious hours at island... sad. Not sure if this is normal by Maldives resort standard, but I felt they could have communicated better and should have arranged another boat ride for us.
They arranged lounge passes for couple of hours though.
