Today, solo travelers have become a key emerging group in the travel industry. Maldives, a destination known for its romantic backdrop and homely atmosphere has always been one of the most preferred destinations among honeymooners, couples, as well as families. With the popularity of travelling solo well on the rise, this tropical paradise has gained the attraction of solo travelers as one of the safest and most convenient tropical wonderlands with wholesome immersive experiences. According to Google Trend data, solo travel has increased by 760% since 2021 and online searches capturing the term ‘solo travel’ have increased by 267% since 2020.

Huraa excursions where solo travelers could experience the Maldivian culture and lifestyle, photo flight, a thrilling experience to witness the ocean while flying above the resort, seasonal Manta snorkeling, where solo travelers could snorkel along Mantas and experience the hidden beauty underneath the turquoise waters. In addition to these excursions, other in-resort activities include table tennis, badminton, billiards, tennis, and beach volleyball.

		<description><![CDATA[This year as we celebrate World Turtle Day, we embark on an unforgettable journey to introduce you to the incredible sea turtles found in and around our island and how best to observe and snorkel with them responsibly. The Maldives, renowned for its rich biodiversity, is home to several species of these captivating creatures. Let&#8217;s dive into the depths and meet some of the amazing turtles you may encounter during your visit to Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives: Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas): The most common species found around the Maldives, the green sea turtle boasts a captivating olive-green shell, hence its name. They are herbivores and play a vital role in maintaining the health of coral reefs by grazing on seagrass, helping to prevent overgrowth. With their streamlined bodies and powerful flippers, they gracefully navigate the depths of the ocean. Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata): Sporting a distinctive beak-like snout, hawksbill turtles are truly a sight to behold. These elegant creatures have intricate patterns on their shells, resembling the intricate patterns found on hawks&#8217; wings. They primarily feed on sponges, playing a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of the reef ecosystem. Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta): Loggerheads are the largest hard-shelled turtles in the world, known for their strong jaws and reddish-brown carapace. These majestic beings roam the ocean, covering vast distances in search of food. Their diet consists mainly of crabs, mollusks, and other marine invertebrates. Observing Turtles in their Natural Habitat As ambassadors for our reefs, we stress the importance of observing these turtles in their natural habitat while ensuring their safety and well-being. Here are a few tips from us to make sure you have fun while being respectful and safe as well. Keep a Respectful Distance: When snorkeling or diving near turtles, maintain a respectful distance of at least three meters. This allows the turtles to go about their daily activities undisturbed and ensures a harmonious coexistence. Avoid Touching or Chasing: As tempting as it may be to reach out and touch these gentle beings, resist the urge. Touching turtles can cause them distress and disrupt their natural behaviors. Avoid chasing or following them closely, allowing them to swim freely without feeling threatened or scared, as gentle as they are, they are known to bite if threatened. Snorkel Quietly: When snorkeling with turtles, be mindful of your movements and avoid making excessive noise. Sudden movements and loud noises can startle them, leading to stress and potentially harming their well-being. Instead, embrace the tranquility of the underwater world and let the turtles approach you at their own pace. Responsible Photography: If you wish to capture a magical moment with a turtle, do so responsibly. Maintain a respectful distance and use underwater photography techniques that minimize disturbance. Remember, it&#8217;s essential to prioritize the welfare of these magnificent creatures over getting the perfect shot. Listen to the Experts: Pay close attention to the safety briefing provided by your guide. They will offer valuable insights on how to approach and interact with turtles, ensuring you have an unforgettable experience while safeguarding the well-being of these incredible creatures. Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives offers a gateway to a world teeming with vibrant marine life, where the enchanting sea turtles take center stage. By adhering to responsible snorkeling practices and paying close attention to the advice of our colleagues at Dive and Sail, we can marvel at these magnificent creatures while preserving their natural habitat for generations to come. Remember, it&#8217;s our collective responsibility to ensure the well-being of sea turtles and the delicate ecosystems they call home. So, while we invite you to dive into the crystal clear waters, embrace the wonders of our beautiful reefs, and embark on an unforgettable journey to snorkel with these amazing creatures, let&#8217;s leave only ripples behind as a testament to your adventure. &#8211;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sustainability has become the heart and soul of the hospitality industry and travel trade, especially with travellers being more concerned of the environment, climate change and well-being of local communities. Hospitality brands across the world are now opting for sustainable approaches to enable this mandate. This is further validated by the findings from the Sustainable Travel Report 2022 published by booking.com, where 78% of global travellers intend to stay in a sustainable property at least once during this year while 71% of travellers expect to put in more effort during the year to travel more sustainably. Sustainability being the cornerstone of Cinnamon Hotels &#038; Resorts and across its properties in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, continuously redefines new benchmarks in terms of sustainability and inculcating its core values of compassion, inclusivity, empowerment, and diversity. Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, a property managed by Cinnamon Hotels &#038; Resorts, home to one of the best coral reefs in the Maldives has taken a step ahead in its sustainability endeavours. The resort focuses on several sustainable initiatives including minimising the usage of plastic, producing organic fruits and vegetables in-house and conservation of coral reefs. Minimizing waste and single use plastic During the bygone year the resort was able to reduce its plastic usage simply by replacing plastic garbage bags with washable and re-usable garbage bags and plastic laundry bags has been replaced by hand-made paper bags which are mad out of magazines found in the property. Moreover, the resort has replaced its plastic water bottles by introducing refillable, customized drinking water bottles and has introduced wooden key cards, paper bags, wooden straws, and wooden bins with the objective of further reducing the usage of plastic within the property. Through all these efforts the property has been able to reduce the usage of over 11,500 KG of plastic material during 2021 and 2022. Taking a step ahead, the resort has introduced tote bags which are purely made of damaged umbrellas found within the property. These bags have become a popular accessory among guests within the resort. Farm to Plate The resort has introduced a special initiative, ‘Farm to Plate’, an organic vegetable farm which focuses on producing fresh fruits and vegetables within the property. The farm has a dedicated composting area where dry leaves are converted to compost and wastewater is used as the main source to water the farm. The resort works closely with the local community to recycle coconut palm leaves to make roofing covers for public areas within the resort. Conservation of Coral Reefs in the Maldives As part of its marine life conversation programme, the resort has placed several artificial Reef Cubes made from crushed glass to increase fish population around the property. In addition, monthly reef &#038; beach clean-ups are arranged by the resort where guests are encouraged to participate. In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, the resort has introduced various initiatives including the use of solar power, reduction of Carbon Dioxide emission and water saving initiatives. Sustainability, which is a driving force has been embedded into the DNA of Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts and is an ongoing pledge and Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is dedicated to make a real difference by driving an eco-friendly change and delivering value to its guests, people, and planet. With a number of sustainability projects on the horizon, the resort remains well focussed on the current sustainability initiatives, and the future projects would draw more attention to the conservation of coral reefs, marine life, and ocean literacy, all while creating greater awareness on various issues related to sustainability and wellbeing. As a brand built on its core values and principles, Cinnamon Hotels &#038; Resort is committed to creating a better tomorrow, both socially and environmentally.]]></description>
