Situated in the North Malé Atoll, about a 30 minute speedboat from the international airport, Cinnamon Dhonvei is in amongst some of the best surf spots in the Maldives – including exclusive access to Pasta Point, the most consistent wave in the country!
The island itself is surrounded by beautiful reefs, which can be accessed by either a snorkel day trip or simply jump off your overwater bungalow or enjoy the house reef from the safety of the lagoon.
Baby blacktip reef sharks, rays, shoals of fish and even turtles can pop up anywhere!
With incredible in-house dining (which offers a buffet style spread, with both local and international options), the famous surf bar overlooking Pasta Point and a series of other bars, pools and entertainment areas across the island – even when you’re not in the waves, there’s plenty to do.
Wind down with a spot treatment or surfer massage before a sunset surf or perhaps a cocktail – this is surfing luxury at its finest.
And if you’re looking for some non surfing fun (for either yourself of non surfers travelling with you) the resort also offers a range of day trips and activities to keep you busy too. Whether you fancy some dolphin watching, scuba diving or a sandbank picnic, a stay at Cinnamon Dhonveli ticks all the boxes for a stunning Maldives surf trip!
With direct access from the resort, Pasta Point is THE most exclusive waves in the Maldives. This reeling left hander is also one of the most consistent spots in the country too.
Across the channel from Pasta is Sultans, a super rippable right hander that will keep regular footers frothing, whilst the other side of the peak is Honkys, a left hander.
Another Maldives favourite, this long right hander has 3 peaks which can link into one epic ride when the swells right

The setup was a dream. Perfect waves, gorgeous resort. Everything was pretty seamless. Super stoked overall and will definitely go back some day.
Thanks for everything.
What can I say!!!!!.
That place is incredible I’m lost for words.
Waves came around 3 to 4 ft
The location is stunning and hospitality by all we in counted 10 out of 10.
The boys from the surf team were super nice and went above and beyond to help out.
I will be back!.
Thank you again for everything
The trip was amazing, surf crew provided superb attention. My husband surfed everyday in the different points, and in Pasta Point. The hotel overwater bungalow was amazing, and the hotel provided relaxing activities such as yoga and snorkeling.
Thanks so much for all your help organising our trip to Lohis and Pasta, we think it has been the best surf trip for waves we have ever had; we were exhausted by the end & needed to come home for a rest!
Both hotels were excellent, transfers seamless & we felt everything we could think of had been taken care of. We’ll start saving now & be in touch to book again in the future!
Definitely 5 star service from Chris! Very knowledgeable, responsive to queries and great support all the way through the process.
I had many queries pre booking, made changes along the way and checked things whilst I was actually on the trip. Nothing was too difficult or too much trouble.
I’ll be booking through Stoked Surf Adventures again without hesitation and they’re an easy recommendation to make.
