A 10-night Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives all inclusive holiday from London for £1,999 per person sounds too good to be real, yet that is what GenZ Travel has built for the 1 to 12 October 2026 departure. The package bundles return flights, speedboat transfers, a Superior Room Ocean View, every meal, soft drinks, selected bar drinks and the best surf and dive spots in North Male Atoll.
Why the Maldives Works for UK Holidaymakers
The Maldives sits about 10 hours from London by direct flight, with sea temperatures around 28°C all year. October is the sweet spot for a Maldives package from UK departures: the south-west monsoon is easing, the seas are clearing for divers and surfers, and the summer rush is over.
UK passport holders get a free 30-day visa on arrival, so there is no paperwork before you fly. Pair that with a single-island all-inclusive resort and your holiday admin ends the moment you book.
The Resort: Cinnamon Dhonveli at a Glance
Cinnamon Dhonveli sits in North Male Atoll, a 25-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. The island is small enough to walk around in 15 minutes but big enough to feel quiet. The design blends Maldivian thatch with modern lines, and the famous Pasta Point surf break curls off the western tip.
Couples come for the romance, families for the wide reef, and surfers for the wave. It is one of the few four-star resorts that genuinely punches above its star rating. For a side-by-side with another North Male option that pairs with a Dubai stopover, see our Adaaran Select Meedhupparu and Aloft Palm Jumeirah combo.
Your Room: Superior Ocean View at Cinnamon Dhonveli
The Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives ocean view room is the entry-level beachfront category and the best-value room on the island. You get a private terrace looking out to the lagoon, direct beach access, a king bed (twin on request), air conditioning, minibar, tea and coffee facilities, a rainfall shower and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The room sleeps two adults, or two adults and a child on a sofa bed. It suits couples, friends or a parent-and-teen pairing. Larger groups who want more space may prefer our Maldives water villa with pool slide trip instead.
All-Inclusive Dining and Bars
Food is where the Cinnamon Dhonveli all-inclusive plan earns its keep. Four restaurants and two bars sit on the island, with no daily limits on soft drinks or the house list of beers, wines and spirits.
| Outlet | Style | Meal Times | What to Try |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rehendhi Restaurant | International buffet | Breakfast, lunch, dinner | Live grill and curry corner |
| Dalchini | Pan-Asian a la carte | Dinner only | Maldivian tuna curry and dim sum |
| Tex Mex | Casual Mexican | Lunch and dinner | Fish tacos and quesadillas |
| Beach Bar and Raalhu Bar | Cocktails and snacks | 11:00 to late | Sunset mojito on the deck |
Children get their own buffet section and an early sitting if needed. If you fancy pairing the Maldives with Thai food and city life, look at our Phuket, Bangkok and Maldives water villa tour.
Things to Do at Cinnamon Dhonveli
Cinnamon Dhonveli punches above its weight on activities. Pasta Point, the left-hand reef break on the resort doorstep, is widely rated one of the most consistent waves in the Indian Ocean and is exclusive to resort guests during surf season (March to October). Board hire, lessons and guiding run from the on-site Tropicsurf base.
Below the surface, the house reef teems with parrotfish, reef sharks and turtles. PADI courses run from Discover Scuba through to Divemaster. Snorkel gear, kayaks and paddle boards are included; jet skis and parasailing are paid extras.
- Surfing at Pasta Point: guided sessions for all levels on a world-class left-hander
- Scuba and snorkelling: 40-plus dive sites within a short boat ride
- Azzuro Spa: Ayurvedic treatments, couples massages, beachfront pavilions
- Sunset dolphin cruise: a paid extra worth booking on night two
- Local island visit: a half-day trip to a Maldivian village for culture and crafts

Why UK Travellers Keep Coming Back
The honest reason this Maldives tour package from UK departures sells out fast is the maths. A like-for-like 10-night all-inclusive Maldives holiday, booked piece by piece, regularly tips £2,800 to £3,500 once flights, transfers, taxes and a drinks tab are added. At £1,999 per person, this package undercuts that without trimming the experience.
The location beats the two-hour seaplane wait of southern atolls. The all-inclusive plan is genuinely all-inclusive, not watered-down half-board. And the surf, dive and spa offering gives you something to do beyond sunbathing on a 10-night stay.
Weighing alternatives? Our Siyam World Maldives with Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island trip is the closest premium comparison. For multi-country itineraries, the 14-night Abu Dhabi, Sri Lanka and Maldives route and the Abu Dhabi and Maldives 10-night luxury package add a Gulf or Indian Ocean stopover.
Insider tip: Book your dive courses and spa slots within 24 hours of arrival. Cinnamon Dhonveli runs at high occupancy in the October half-term shoulder, and the popular times go first.
