The team of Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts Maldives with the SATA Award 2025 ( (C) Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts)
The awards ceremony took place on September 20, 2025 at the Cinnamon Grand Colombo and recognized outstanding achievements in the travel and tourism industry in South Asia. A total of 53 gold and 113 silver awards were presented. The event brought together industry leaders from Sri Lanka, India, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.
Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives, located in the North Mal? Atoll, was recognized as a Leading Surf Resort for the seventh time, and for the third time in a row. The resort enjoys a high international reputation, particularly for its legendary surf spot "Pasta Point", which is considered one of the best and most exclusive surf spots in the Indian Ocean. In addition to surfing experiences, the resort offers an extensive range of water sports, spa facilities and cultural experiences that create a perfect symbiosis with the Maldivian lifestyle.
For Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives, winning the title of Leading Beach Resort marks a significant milestone. Located on a private island, the resort attracts guests with a turquoise blue house reef, white sandy beaches and an exclusive selection of beach and overwater villas. The offer is complemented by a high-quality wellness concept, gourmet restaurants and family-friendly activities that create a comprehensive vacation experience.
Sanjeeva Perera, Area General Manager of Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Maldives, commented on the double award as follows:
"These two awards reflect both a long history of success and significant progress. Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives, with its iconic Pasta Point, once again confirms its role as the centerpiece of the surfing scene in South Asia. At the same time, the inaugural Gold award for Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives marks an important moment that recognizes the natural beauty of the island and the commitment of our teams to delivering exceptional vacation experiences. Both achievements underscore Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Maldives' position as a place where adventure meets relaxation."
The Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Group not only stands for exceptional and luxurious vacation pleasures, but is also actively committed to the sustainable aspect of long-distance travel. For example, guests receive personalized drinking bottles to reduce plastic waste and wherever possible, the group is committed to the regeneration of the surrounding underwater world.
The South Asian Travel Awards are considered one of the most important platforms for recognizing quality and innovation in the region's tourism industry. In addition to the success of the Cinnamon resorts, the Maldives destination was also recognized at the SATA 2025, including as a Leading Adventure Destination. Bhutan was awarded the title of Leading Heritage Destination.
The latest awards strengthen the Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts Maldives brand in the long term and consolidate its reputation as a leading provider of unique vacation experiences in the region.
