Maldives Holidays

Misha Miladinovic

Perfect place for full relaxation. Excellent beaches and beautiful blue water, island full of vegetation (palms, trees, bushes…). Ideal for snorkeling, bring your own equipment. Bring your swimming shoes, there are a lot of corals in the water! Island is quite small there is no much activities possible on the island. Few excursions are possible. Any extras will be highly charged since there is only one hotel on the island. Rooms are a bit old. Return ticket with speed boat, 20min from Male is quite pricey, 90$/person, and only option. Overall if you want just to relax and enjoy on the beach in the shadow of the palm this is the perfect place for you.

Amazing place for snorkeling. Only a bit aged bungalows are the biggest minus, which does not in any way ruin the experience. Great service. Welcoming hosts are eager to let you stay beyond your checkout time if your flight is in the evening. Great food. Great beaches. Stay away from the diving centre as they want to strip you of money by charging every single piece of equipment separately. Plus charges for the boat dive, plus charges for the guide, plus plus plus...

I completely agree that there are loads of resorts out there. Whatever Embudu has to offer( personal and first Maldives experience) is a smile on each and every faces I met here. Maintenance people, bar and restaurant, reception every single person has a smile and they are kind and so keen to please. Food is fabulous, nothing to fault. Drinks ( and again the bar people) perfect. Snorkeling, beaches all surrounding absolutely fabulous. Rooms are okay, bit old furniture, but does it matter? My advise, if you not fussy and you happy to be happy...thats the place..such lovely people... what a lovely birthday I had.... Did I say once in a life time...? Nop, we ll come again. Absolutely. Thanks for reading 🙂 I hope it helps

Embudu Resort in the Maldives exceeded all our expectations! Impeccable service, breathtaking views, and pristine beaches. The overwater bungalows are a must try for an unforgettable experience. The staff's hospitality and attention specifically to detail made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommend for a luxurious and relaxing getaway!!

Don’t waste your money, go to the local island The rooms are old, dark and with strange scents You need to pay for all drinks additionally and prices are much higher than on local islands, but here you don’t have a choice just to pay If you want to dive, again it’s better to do this on the local island- on Embudu you need to pay twice the price of the dive … Not recommended…. And also keep in mind that in the evening there is really loud music till at least 12, so it’s almost impossible to sleep

I had the most enchanting honeymoon experience at this exquisite resort! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the stunning surroundings, impeccable service, and luxurious amenities.The resort's staff went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, making our stay unforgettable. Our honeymoon at this resort was a perfect start to our new journey together. 😊

Seated by the ocean, this is the best resort on addu island. it has a beautiful deck with ocean on three sides where you can spot baby sharks and different types of fish. This is the only place on the island where they serve alcohol. Food and service at this place is quite good. Accessibility score: four on five. This resort has reasonable wheelchair access, and persons with blindness can conveniently visit it with basic assistance.

Below average room, okay location. Food not so okay. You can have meal in bikini but not in full good clothes in restaurant. House keeping, bar tenders and security team are good rest are rude.

So welcoming and great if you have links to the RAF,also good diving in the area and a dive centre there but I did not use on my visit. 5☆ service I will be back 🙂

Front desk staff is rude. Most people don't speak English very well. The bartenders were nice.. The folks doing the room cleaning were nice.. The food is terrible... Barely edible.. and not a lot of variety. Service at the restaurant is slow and spotty. The internet is spotty at best, weak and unreliable. I had multiple issues with it during my four night stay. When I first checked into my room the hot water didn't work.. They did fix it. The beds are two single beds smashed together.. I had other colleagues verify this.. Laundry service was excellent. No workout facilities. There is a spa but I didn't partake. The beaches are beautiful... There isn't much in town for shopping or sundries.. there's nothing at the hotel for any of that. I'm sure it's great if you're on a budget but expect to get what you pay for. One last item... I hope you like roosters... Cuz the one they have here, never sleeps...

Island is small, but beautiful and very clean and well looked after. Snorkeling is fabulous with house reef. Rooms are a bit shabby, but really comfy beds, spacious right on the beach too. Open showers nice but a pain when it rains as bathroom floods! Toiletries provided minimal. Take your own shampoo. No info provided in rooms. Restaurant. Food buffet style. Good varied selection. Good salads, veggies. Great Dhal and varied curries and meats. Could improve on the grill station which only served up pasta and sauce! Or eggs in the morning. Good service. Bar - Gorgeous views. Service varied. You need to tip! Drinks on all inclusive were poor. Weak, tasteless. Wine was shocking! Few cocktails on all inclusive were included, and they weren't good. Transfer by boat was great. Efficient, easy.

Lovely private island. Quiet. Very attentive personnel at meals. Transport to the island took about an hour and was easy to find at the airport as a person working for another organization brought the correct representative to us. Through no fault of their own, the return trip was rough as an impending rain storm was on its way. My motion sickness patch and some wind in my face kept me from getting sick. I did not have that problem coming over when the water was more calm. In the rooms, there are open showers to the sky. This was nice although when it rained, the shower would be filled with leaves and debris. Personnel regularly cleaned them daily. We kept the door closed between the bathroom and the bedroom as the bedroom had good air conditioning. Spa personnel were friendly. They were quiet during a couples massage, which was a relief since I have had other massages where those giving massages would talk frequently. I would recommend that personnel ask about the firmness of a massage, as most places do, as mine was about right but my husband's was far too soft. Additionally, I would recommend that the kitchen staff find a better way to keep food warm. Although we would often go to eat as soon as the dining room opened, some of the entrees were cold when they should have been hot and we were scared to eat the food. This was a welcome and beautiful respite after a month-long trip. The room was not luxurious but we knew that before booking and they had everything we needed. The views were wonderful as we could hang out under the trees near our villa or walk to the large beach directly in front of us. Early mornings were beautiful and one of our favorite times

My sister and I had such a wonderful relaxing time here. There's just enough to do to keep you engaged, but not too much to where you think you're going to miss doing something. Snorkeling, kayaking, beautiful 360 views, fishing boat rides, karaoke, massages and beautiful waters! I'm definitely coming back with my children.

We really enjoyed our stay on Eriyadu Island. The service was excellent and the location can't be beat. We had room 214 which was right on a small private beach, where we could hear the waves at night and see the moon. The rooms were not fancy but had everything you needed: TV, room safe, fridge, umbrella, tub, two showers, nice large bottled waters, charging ports. Had housekeeping in the morning and evening. My wife enjoyed the messages at the spa and I enjoyed the wide variety of water sports available. I went snorkeling and kayaking (included) and went sailing on their catamaran after taking lessons. I really appreciated them giving us a late check out on the last day, especially with our evening flight from Male. There were a few things that could have been improved. The buffet meals were adequate, we could usually find something both of us could enjoy. We definitely got tired of the food after a few days, it would have been nice to have a few a la carte options. We did not appreciate them allowing people to smoke at meals and at the bar, it made for a lot of discomfort. The workout room definitely needs updating, the only thing in good shape was the treadmill. With a little money and effort you can replace the elliptical, add some weights over 10 pounds, and get a couple of good benches. Overall I would recommend Eriyadu Island Resort, I feel like it is a good value for the money.

Our experience at Eriyadu Island Resort was amazing!🤩 The staff is very kind and the place is amazing! The variety of food is very pleasant and the quality is very good! I’ve spent my birthday there(5th of November) and it was like a dream, they treated me like a princess! The excursions and the guys of the diving are very prepared and they feel like you at ease while swimming! I can only recommend to stay at Eriyadu! I sure know that I’ll come back 🏝️

Fantastic resort and location. From the moment you step off the seaplane you are greeted by such friendly staff. Our room was located on the sunrise side of the island and did not disappoint. All the staff were so amazing and went out of there way to help, always with a smile on there face. They suprised us with room decorations and champagne for our anniversary. The food was of a very high standard with plenty of choice at all 3 sittings. Would definitely recommend the resort.

This is one of the smaller islands, with fewer reefs near the beaches, but still worth a visit. The staff are wonderful; friendly, courteous and so helpful. They all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and cared for. The dive school is great and the staff there are so knowledgeable and friendly. The food is a little bit limited; they seem to cater more to the American palette, but still lots of choices for various dietary requirements. I will want to go back again.

We have stayed in May at Innahura. Unfortunately we have to say that we felt uncomfortable, couldn't understand all the good reviews and couldn't recommend to stay at this place. First of all there was construction site 300 m (linear distance) in the water on sunset site where maybe foundations of water villas were piled up. So you could hear sounds of big machines from morning till evening on every single day of our vacation. No marine life there. Only a few baby sharks and little fish left, maybe because of the loud construction site in near distance at the sea but this has to be mentioned to the customers before booking! The Beach wasn't cleaned up from the seaweed so there was a disgusting smell especially at the water area in front of the restaurant. Some of the staff was very nice and friendly to us but also some of them talked about the customers in the restaurants in their language as they thought nobody could understand it. Unfortunatly a western looking guy could understand and confronted the staff with the fact why they are talking about the customers in this way and if they don't know how to behave. The Staff also seems to earn an amount of money if you book an upsell like lobster eating or privat dinner or so. We felt like we are in a sales show the first nights we stayed there. Also there are a lot of mosquito at the island so they have to spray in the morning at 8 am and in the evening. The way how they spray against the mosquito is actually a wheelbarrow with a big vaporizer tucked on it. Which creates a massive noise which we woke up from every morning. How relaxing.... During our stay we have seen six rats in total on the island including the restaurant area. Without knowing the fact that there where rats on the island i would have said that the food was nice and there was a lot to choose from. I really couldn't understand all the good reviews. If you are on a budget and desperately want to go to the maledives than this place might be an option, but if you want to experience the real maledivian feeling as you see it in the cataloques don't go there. We were absolutely disappointed from our first times on the maledives and regretted to come to Innahura after just a few nights. Maybe you might think our standards are just too high, but i can tell you that we have been travelling a lot as backpackers in Southeast Asia and usually it is not quite difficult to make us happy.

Great place to stay at. The staff is very welcoming, helpful, friendly and polite. The location, food, services was up to my standards expectations. Room very clean on a daily basis and comfortable, smells great with a magical view towards water. Great sunshine views, warm ocean, with lots of corals and coloured exotic fishes(great for snorkelling). The food was delicious with good selection. Me and my boyfriend both vegan and myself with food allergies, we were both well looked after, specially from Chef Naresh, which always had an eye on us. Want to thank you specially to Ranjith who was always there, making us feel so special. Also Vishal, Kali, Deepika they welcomed and supported us with everything we needed. Ladies from SPA provide excellent experiences, is something you must do. Thank you everyone, you all doing great! 👏👏👏

I visited Innahura for a solo birthday getaway and it was fabulous. I work in the Maldives and wanted a small vacation away from work and colleagues to let loose and celebrate my birthday and Innahura offered me just that. The staff was very friendly and helped me planned my activities to keep me well occupied during my trip. Innahura is one of the few resorts in the Maldives catered towards Solo Travelers and their activities aim to get their guests to socialize. The team had set-up a special birthday decoration for me on the bed made from traditional coconut leaf origami.
