Finolhu, a Seaside Collection Resort

Adrienne Schneider

Paradise on Earth Our stay was absolutely unforgettable. The island is stunning, with stylish yet relaxed design – pure aesthetics in paradise! A huge thank you to the incredibly kind team – everyone was so warm and welcoming. Special thanks to our personal assistant Asma, who was amazing: attentive, helpful, and always smiling. The food was another highlight – top-level cuisine, creative and fresh. Every meal was a delight. In short: Finolhu is pure magic. We’ll definitely be back! 💙

This is a really nice resort with excellent staff. Very new and well maintained. All the restaurants and buffets were excellent, especially the crab shack. They arranged everything and were with us from the time we cleared immigration until the time we checked in for our return flight, including arranging cars, lounges, seaplanes, a tour of Male (which I highly recommend doing). I would highly recommend this place and would return as soon as I can.

What a trip! Our room was immaculate, we snorkeled from our back verandah every day and lounged around our private pool at every chance. The food at all of the restaurants was top class, it was the best food I've had within the confines of a resort of any place i have travelled. The staff were incredibly friendly and were available to assist with any query you might have. Special call out to Aflaah, Ricky and Sashwin who we dealt with the most on our trip and they took a range of extra steps to ensure we had an amazing honeymoon. 5/5 will return!

My wife and I went through a hectic few days during our wedding and the ceremonies that followed, and were really hoping for a memorable and relaxing honeymoon! We were kinda nervous heading into this, but the experience we got at Finolhu was beyond our imagination! We had a smooth and enjoyable experience right from getting picked up from Male airport to go to the seaplane lounge. We were offered some refreshing food/beverages at the lounge which helped us recover from the flight travel. After a smooth checkin to the seaplane, we were on our way to the resort. As soon as we landed, our Roohu, Hanim, and Tamilla extended a warm welcome to us with a welcome drink. After a quick tour of the island, we were dropped at our Lagoon Villa, which had stunning views of the ocean, variety of shower options and nice amenities. It was also my birthday that day, so they had organized a cake and made special decor in the room wishing me. That was such a touching and memorable gesture! Right from dinner on day 1, everyone took special care of us. My wife and I are vegetarian, and we were concerned about the availability of vegetarian food options. But almost every employee on the island knew our dietary preference and took extra care in seeing to it that we had vegetarian options to eat! On top of that, Chef Suresh Rajenthiran, the Chef De Cuisine at beach kitchen made us some Indian food, which made us feel at home. Special thanks to Chef Suresh for that! The resort had a variety of activities and they have experienced professionals conducting each of those, so one will have a truly wholesome experience trying those out. However, watch out before signing up for watersport and sea related activities, as they are subject to weather and may get cancelled if the sea is choppy. The Fehi spa is world class with extremely talented professionals performing the treatments. We had the most perfect couples connection treatment, with a great Balinese massage, purification ritual and herbal foot ritual! The private movie night and the romantic dinner setup was right out of movie, as it was so dreamy and perfect. The management and the employees went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable honeymoon, and we are so grateful to Finolhu for that! We will definitely comeback to the Island Playground experience at Finolhu!

We had the most wonderful time at Finolhu – truly a dream come true. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived until the day we left. The resort is stunning, but what truly makes it special is the exceptional level of customer service. A very special thank you goes to our amazing butler, Saju, who made our stay even more unforgettable. Thanks to his kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail, every aspect of our holiday was perfectly organized and incredibly enjoyable. Her warm presence and constant support made all the difference. One of the true highlights of our stay was the Dive Butler PADI Center – their professionalism exceeded all expectations. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful instructor Mara, whose passion for diving is absolutely contagious. Her energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm made every dive a magical experience, whether you’re a beginner or experienced diver. We also deeply appreciated the presence and guidance of the marine biologist Ivanna, whose knowledge and care brought an entirely new dimension to our understanding of the Maldivian marine life. Her dedication and insights are truly priceless. Finolhu is a true paradise on Earth – a place we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking luxury, natural beauty, and exceptional service. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team – we will definitely be back!
