Wonderful island. Still very natural. Good reef with easy access. The staff especially management were very reactive. Wanted to do some yoga.

We’ve just come back from an amazing 7-night stay on Eriyadu, and honestly, it was one of the best holidays we’ve had. The island is beautiful, and everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. Our room was clean, comfy, and really nicely decorated — the perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun. The food was buffet-style with loads of tasty options, and we always looked forward to mealtimes. What made the trip even more special were two standout staff members — Abir and Nimesh. Abir looked after our room and was just fantastic the whole time. He kept everything spotless and always had time for a friendly chat. After we got a little too much sun, he even went out of his way to find us some aloe vera, which was so thoughtful. He was genuinely lovely — cheerful, kind, and always happy to help. Nimesh, our waiter, was just as brilliant. From the first day, he made us feel really welcome and looked after us so well during our meals. He always had our drinks ready (rosé with ice — he remembered without us even asking!) and greeted us with a big smile every time we walked in. He made every mealtime feel like a treat. All the staff on the island were great, but Abir and Nimesh really went above and beyond — they’re a big reason why our holiday felt so special. We’re already talking about coming back, and we’d definitely recommend Eriyadu to anyone looking for a chilled, friendly island getaway. Read less

Amazing island with beautiful beaches and snorkelling. We saw sharks, sea turtles and most of the cast of Finding Nemo. We had a newly renovated room which was lovely and I think it had the best spot on the island in a peaceful corner which was very private.

Amazing island with beautiful beaches and snorkelling. We saw sharks, sea turtles and most of the cast of Finding Nemo. We had a newly renovated room which was lovely and I think it had the best spot on the island in a peaceful corner which was very private. Our room attendant Abir was very attentive and even found me some Aloe Vera for my sun burn. He was very chatty and very nice. Our waiter at the restaurant was Nimesh. He would bring our regular drinks straight to the table without us even having to order them which was nice and thoughtful. The food was all delicious. We went on the sunset fishing trip and the restaurant cooked our catch for us so we could enjoy it the next day. The bar staff were great too, keeping us topped up with cocktails and gin. On our first night there were a musical duo who were amazing and the night where they did a slideshow on the local sea late was fantastic too. A karaoke night was attempted but nobody got up and sang. I read all the reviews before we came and was a little nervous about the ongoing work on the island. It didn’t impact our holiday in the slightest. I’m already looking to book to come back next year. Read less

We stayed at Eriyadu Island Resort from April 24 to May 1. We really liked the island, it is small, cozy, we lived in a Deluxe beach villa, the ocean was literally 3 meters away.

We stayed at Eriyadu Island Resort from April 24 to May 1. We really liked the island, it is small, cozy, we lived in a Deluxe beach villa, the ocean was literally 3 meters away. The villa was simple but clean and well maintained. We spent little time in the villa, as it is the Maldives, and we wanted to spend all our time either on the beach, or in the water, or under water. Speaking of the underwater world, it is simply amazing at Eriyadu Island Resort, we burned our backs in the first 3 days because we were snorkeling all day long :)) We saw turtles, several different types of sharks, rays, octopus, lobster, moray eels and hundreds of different fish, all among the corals. There is a good diving center on the island, which offered various excursions, provided information on marine inhabitants, and held various intellectual quizzes in the evenings. The resort staff was very friendly, always smiling, trying to make our holiday unforgettable. I would like to mention our waiter Nuzufa, who always carefully watched that we were good in the restaurant. I would also like to mention the bartender Imran, who made excellent tasty drinks, especially a big thank you for the coconut cocktail for my wife's birthday. Also thanks to our housekeeper Mainuddin, thanks to him our villa was always clean and fresh, we didn't even have time to drink the water, as he was already bringing new one :] Many thanks to Eriyadu Island Resort, this holiday was amazing!
