Hi My wife and I returned 2 weeks ago from an excellent 2 weeks on the island of Eriyadu. We have been before and this time was just as good as the first time. They have added new sea defence barriers now, giving excellent white sandy beaches. The beach bungalow upgrades are coming along and the new suites look fantastic. It will be good to go back and see the island when all the work is completed. ie bar area, dining area and of course the over the water bungalows. Definitely will go back again. Friendly service and staff execpt the restaurant supervisor, who never smiled all the time we were there. But no one knows what he had running in the background. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday Ian and Jackie. Read less

We spent a wonderful holiday at Eriyadu Island Resort, and we’re still smiling every time we think back to it. The snorkeling around the island was absolutely incredible – vibrant corals, colorful fish, and that magical feeling of being part of another world. What made it even more special was Elsa, the resident marine biologist. Her talk about coral reefs and ocean conservation wasn’t just informative – it was deeply touching. Everything she said truly resonated with us. Here, you don’t just see nature – you feel its value and the importance of protecting it. The food was very good, and we especially want to highlight the amazing omelette master at breakfast – always smiling, always perfecting the simple art of eggs with genuine joy. Each morning felt like a warm little ritual. The villas are simple but perfectly adequate – clean, comfortable, and surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the sea. But the person who made our stay truly exceptional was Monowar, the young man who looked after our room. He was incredibly kind, attentive, always smiling, and radiated such warmth. He even prepared a surprise birthday setup for us that left us completely speechless. It was thoughtful, beautifully arranged, and made with such care – it honestly brought tears to our eyes. Monowar is the soul of this place, and thanks to him, we didn’t feel like guests – we felt like friends. Huge thanks to the entire Eriyadu team for a holiday we’ll never forget. Read less

The stay at Eryadu was amazing. The space is very beautiful. The cleaning of the rooms is impeccable (twice a day). The staff are very friendly. In particular, Nimesh made our stay even more pleasant. Nimesh was always very attentive.
