Explore the Ocean's Hidden Gems: Cinnamon Resorts Offer Unmatched Dive Experiences in the Maldives
Tuesday 4th of March 2025
As the world celebrates World Wildlife Day, there’s no better time to explore the stunning underwater world surrounding Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts’ four properties in the Maldives. These resorts are located in some of the world’s most vibrant waters, offering guests the chance to witness marine life in its natural, thriving habitat. Dive & Sail, the official dive operator at Cinnamon’s resorts, highlights the rich marine experiences that await divers and snorkellers.
Each of the four resorts offers a unique marine ecosystem. From the colorful coral gardens of Ellaidhoo to the surf breaks and manta ray sightings near Dhonveli, these locations offer a window into the wonders of the ocean. Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is particularly known for its nurse shark sightings, while Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa Maldives, with its pristine lagoons, provides encounters with stingrays and a variety of reef fish.
One of the most exciting experiences at Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts is the chance to spot manta rays and whale sharks. The Maldives is known for being one of the best places in the world to see manta rays, and they can frequently be spotted in the waters around Cinnamon Velifushi and Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives. The resorts also offer excellent opportunities for shark encounters, especially around Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, where the house reef presents close-up views of reef sharks.
In addition to unforgettable diving and snorkelling experiences, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts remain committed to the conservation of marine ecosystems. The resorts promote sustainable diving and snorkelling practices, educating guests on how to interact with marine life responsibly, such as maintaining a safe distance from creatures and refraining from touching corals.
Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts also contribute to coral reef restoration through their coral propagation initiatives. By planting and monitoring coral frames, the resorts are playing a role in preserving the health of the reefs and the biodiversity they support. Guests are encouraged to participate in these efforts, gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of marine conservation.
On this World Wildlife Day, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts invites guests to explore the vibrant marine life that makes the Maldives an exceptional destination. Whether guests are seasoned divers or first-time snorkellers, the resorts offer an opportunity to connect with and protect the underwater world, ensuring it remains a treasure for future generations.
