My wife and I celebrated my honeymoon on this wonderful island and were completely delighted! We stayed in room 107, the room is good, but it requires a little repair, but it doesn't matter when you're not in the room, but you're on the beach. The view from the room is simply stunning, the reef is alive, a huge number of fish, sharks and turtles… Read more
My wife and I celebrated my honeymoon on this wonderful island and were completely delighted! We stayed in room 107, the room is good, but it requires a little repair, but it doesn't matter when you're not in the room, but you're on the beach. The view from the room is simply stunning, the reef is alive, a huge number of fish, sharks and turtles you will see on the first day of your stay. Special thanks to the hotel staff, all well done, but we would like to highlight an amazing and very kind person - Nimesh, he always prompted, helped on any issues, a sympathetic and bright guy. We wish you all the best and good luck in life! We are very pleased with our vacation on this island and will recommend it to our friends. Read less

Since stepping into the island my partner and I were stunned at the beauty of Eriyadu and we were welcomed by friendly staff. We were made to feel at home right from the start. The island truly is paradise! Snorkelling around the island was absolutely stunning and unbelievable the amount of marine life u could be right next to. Special thanks to Nuf the reception manager who went out of his way to show us wonders of the island during the day and at night from the milkyway clear view and bio luminescent plankton lighting up the sea, to taking snorkelling to see the turtles, an absolutely star he was! Ijoo out waiter who remembered our drinks every night and set up a beautiful table for my partners birthday including a cake and singing. Sagor for attending our room every day and even doing a gorgeous happy birthday display on the bed and a special picture and message on our last night. Finally Anna on reception who was so helpful and friendly whenever we had questions. To people wondering about building works, it is all sectioned off and did not bother us one but. Truly a holiday of a lifetime and I cannot wait to go back!! Thank you all ❤️❤️ Andy & Ryan Read less

We were very worried about our holiday to Eriyadu due to all the hype on Facebook about building works and a construction site and all the noise. We heard them on 3 occasions for a very short period of time. We were allocated beach villa 432 and it was perfect, yes a little rustic but cleaned twice a day by Sagor with lovely white fluffy towels. The bed was big but it did hurt both our backs as we are used to a softer mattress. This little island has all the charm of a Maldivian island, the staff are fantastic and very friendly. The beach and reef is easy to go into the deep and watch the underwater life pass you by. For what we paid the island to us is lovely, great wildlife too , fruit bats, lizards, Herons. Shout out to our waiter Nori for my husband's 50th birthday cake and the sweet little female waitress always smiling . Sorry I did not get her name. Please tip the beach guys every morning they sweep the beach in this heat, and they get forgotten before you eat your breakfast. The new bungalows look very nice and the island is closing in September to finish off the renovations. All that worrying for nothing, go and enjoy your holiday. Read less

Eyriadu is a small island just 50 minutes from Male by speedboat. Although the rooms and facilities are tired and worn it was clean and comfortable. The staff were exceptional with a particular thanks to Ijlal our waiter who looked after us going above and beyond ensuring that all our dining needs were met. Our room boy was very attentive and produced a very special sand art. The building works were distracting but we can see that the resort will be fantastic for next season. The house reef is amazing with a huge variety of fish and was so captivating that we swam the whole way around the island. Read less

I have just returned from spending 21 glorious days at Eriyadu and I was not disappointed. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind and experience the Maldives at an incredibly affordable price. The snorkeling was amazing and so accessible from the beach, which is important as I’m not a confident swimmer. I saw so many gorgeous fish, turtles, nurse sharks, reef sharks….. All the staff were so kind, friendly, efficient and often went above and beyond to ensure my stay was wonderful. There truly is a culture of service excellence , putting the guests at the centre of everything they do at Eriyadu ! A special thanks to Azim the front of house manager and his team, what an awesome job you all do, and aways with a smile. The cleaning staff were fantastic, my room was spotless everyday, towels changed…. The food was so fresh and tasty and there was so much variety, yes even after 21 days I wasn’t tired of it!The restaurant staff were always helpful and courteous, many thanks to Nour for looking after me so well ! The resort is showing its age, and the good news is renovations are underway, and I was lucky enough to spend my last week in a new room (303) and it was absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely return, and not just because of the renovations, but for the warm hospitality, exceptional service, gorgeous sea/beach, the house reef, food …… it’s a resort with heart and soul ! See you in 2026! Read less
