“Eri – The Maldives as They Should Be”

Dec 04, 2025Martin L

If you're looking for a truly authentic Maldivian island with very few people, maximum privacy, and complete tranquillity, Eri is the place to go. The island is filled with lush greenery, and thanks to the absence of water villas, it never feels crowded. As a bonus, you have a house reef in really great shape just 30 meters from the shore, home to turtles, sharks, and stingrays. Each villa has its own private access to the beach, so you often feel as if you have the island all to yourself. If you’ve visited Eriyadu in the past, you will be pleasantly surprised by how much it has evolved after the 2025 renovation. All villas and facilities are completely new and tastefully designed. The staff are always smiling, attentive, and ready to help at any time. Even the General Manager, Haroon, is regularly present among the guests, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and well taken care of. Ganesh, who leads the kitchen team, has experience from many countries — and the quality of the food clearly reflects that. I have travelled to many places around the world, but Eri is truly exceptional. If you want to enjoy comfort, be genuinely pampered, and experience a tropical paradise at a reasonable price, go to Eri!

“First time”

Our vacation went great — at the beginning it was the best, because there weren’t many people. Toward the end more people showed up, but it didn’t really bother us. Nimesh, you’re the best 😁

“Disappointing stay – undisclosed renovations ruined the “paradise island” experience”

Sep 07, 2025Matthijs en Jan... V

We chose Eriyadu Island Resort because of its promise of a peaceful, idyllic “paradise island” escape, as shown on the website and in promotional materials. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. When we arrived, we discovered that almost half of the island was under renovation. Large areas were inaccessible, building debris and materials were scattered across the resort, and the overall atmosphere was far from the tranquil experience that was advertised. None of this was disclosed before our booking or communicated in advance. We raised our concerns during our stay, but no meaningful action was taken. After returning home, we contacted management directly and requested appropriate compensation, supported by photo evidence. Sadly, the response was dismissive and the resort refused any form of refund. The Maldivian setting is naturally beautiful, but the ongoing works and lack of transparency completely overshadowed our holiday. A “paradise island” should not feel like a construction site. ⚠️ Travelers should be aware: if you book here, you may not get the peaceful experience advertised. Transparency and guest care were seriously lacking in our case.
