We came here for our two friends; getting married. I honestly am speechless...I think any other wedding I'll attend can top this one. From day one, the staff have been beyond accommodating and completely friendly. I had to train my brain not to feel bad asking them to do stuff because their level of insistence of "call on us to do everything for you. You are expected to relax" was a level I've just haven't witnessed before. Upon arrival by Sea Plane, they welcomed you and you were given a guide who gave you access to their personal WhatsApp number.
Enough about the guides, the weather, views and water are just divine. They have an abundance of activities and they were all amazing, from snorkeling to DJ parties at the "Crab Shack" each one came with the best of an experience and nothing was short of incredible. I myself am not that big on snorkeling, but this excursion experience has made me want to do more when given the chance now. We saw a Manta Ray, various species of fish, spinner dolphins and sea turtles. If you come here, not only do you get to keep the equipment for your room, but you can just walk right from your deck, into the water and have as much snorkeling fun till your heart's content day or night.
Overall, this place has been a true treasure of paradise and I have been thoroughly spoiled now and might just always compare any other Island resort with this location. If you have the means, time and financial ability to make this vacation yours, just do it hands down. I would absolutely make this journey again in the future.

Finolhu is everything you'd expect from a stay in the Maldives. Crystal blue waters, white sand, luxurious accommodation and incredible dining. We stayed in an ocean pool villa which was spacious, with incredible sunsets over the water. You could see schools of fish swimming in the water while lounging in your private pool. The food was faultless, some of the best we've had. And the staff lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend!

AMAZING! We loved every single part of the stay.
Amazing rooms, large and clean, and hotel, they offer many activities to do during the day, as well as cocktails, parties..
You can tell from the staff that they really know the island and the sea, they were always informing us, swimming with us and even playing some games.
What we love the most is that there is not mosquitos in the island ( I don't know how they did it, but we didn't see any during our stay) not in the island or villa.
Restaurants are amazing ( the best is the japanese by far). But we also loved the little cafe they had and the seafood one by the island.
Overall great experience, we were scared about being bored in Maldives, but wasn't the case at all. Great service, they all look like a family and super friendly and the hotel couldn't be better.
Thank you we will for sure be back soon!

Well what can I say about Finolhu , the most beautiful resort we have ever stopped at!! We choose this romantic destination for our honeymoon and it certainly didn’t disappoint.. In fact it was ever better then our expectations. The food was out of this world !! And where do I start about the staff.. went above and beyond to make our honeymoon amazing.. the extra touches they did, by the end of the honeymoon we felt like we made friends! It’s not just a job to them they love it, and a very special mention to all these beautiful people that were quite simply wonderful and 5* Bia Ikram, Shazine, Ricky & Ali Nashad ( crab shack & Arabian grill ) we can never thank you enough for all you did! Even playing football will Bia & Ikram to which they have created a fab ladies football team and I was very impressed with there desire and commitment to this!!
We stayed in the ocean villa and omg the views, the comfort, !!
The food was absolutely stunning !!! The crab shack definitely a must as you can eat delicious food overlooking the crystal clear Indian Ocean and feel the white sands in your toes … we stayed in the beach bubble and spent the whole evening looking at the stars .. with a private dining meal hosted by Ozil true gentleman and make the evening a memory that will last a lifetime with my wife .. we also had the private cinema in the beach me and my wife watched the notebook and it was surreal … lots of tears that’s for sure with that film and hearing the crisp waters near by…the weather was beautiful!! I mean I could go on and on… anyway thank you finolhu for quite simply the best time of our lives !! And we miss you all so much .. and We will definitely be back !!!
