Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

Drinking water provided in the room is limited to 1 l/person (2 bottles/room). This is rather little amount. You can buy water in plastic bottles (1,5 l). It would be nice to provide unlimited drinking water upon request so that the property does not accumulate plastic bottle waste. Plus, the rate to a resort is already not cheap so drinking water would be pretty basic to have as needed.

staff is so friendly & helpful, especially Rasheed at the front desk, he was great help during our stay. food was great & from various cuisines. The whole island was a bless.

breakfast was till 9am only, which was too early for us, taking in consideration that there was time difference. Adding a cheese platter & cold cuts to lunch would be great as we didn't go to breakfast being too early.

The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.

The rooms are basic, however would be amazing to be updated. Also, having full board, the water during meal periods should be included.

Amazing island very natural with amazing sand Water villa Rooms are functional but nothing special

They charge exorbidently for every small thing as their is no nearby market. Staff in Maldives in general is not that friendly as in other countries like Thailand

The beach bungalows were incredible. The way the room opened up to the beach was an absolute dream. They were clean and bright, and just had a very happy and calm vibe. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was amazing. The food was very good, with lots of options, buffet style. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For anyone considering it, ask for one of the rooms starting with a 7 - like, 74-78. We thought they were the best ones.

We got bumped around the rooms a little, placed in the water villa on the first night even though we booked the beach bungalow. The water villa was not as nice. It was a bit dark and the bathroom was not updated. On the last room, we were placed in an economy room to accommodate a late checkout, but weren't properly informed this would be happening. This room was fairly substandard. All this is fine and not at all a problem, we just didn't get to maximize our stay in the room we chose, the way we would've liked.

One of the best things about being at this resort is the vibe. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the location of course is amazing. We stayed half board and that worked out to be a good option for us. Breakfast and dinner buffet was very good, with lots of choice, good quality and variety from day to day. We stayed for 5 nights and chilled out to the max! Good value and the experience overall feels more high end than the price would suggest. Transfers are seamless and the rooms are clean and very pleasant - most are located no more than a stones throw from the beautiful sea. Thoroughly recommend!

We were initially given room 59, and as this is quite close to the island power plant we asked to be moved. We had to wait a little while as this was sorted out, but within a couple of hours we were moved to 91, which was super. My advice would be to request not to have room 59, as there is a constant tractor like hum which is audible from the porch of the room - it’s not especially loud, but we found it a little distracting and detracted from the peace and tranquility we were looking for. Absolutely no issues otherwise.

Good house reef but a bit off shore; saw sharks, a turtle, an eel, and tons of fish; friendly staff; close to airport but far enough away to have island vibes

Hot water was inconsistent; not all the beach villas are truly on the beach (20-30 meters away with views obstructed by bushes and trees); 7:30 start time for dinner was late for those with young kids

Our stay at Embudu Village Resort was absolutely perfect! Everything was exactly as arranged before: they picked us up in Malé on time and transferred us smoothly by boat. We stayed for 7 days with full board, which was more than enough — delicious food with many options, much better than expected! We were a bit worried we might get bored, but the island offers plenty of affordable activities like snorkeling (the marine life is incredible!), night fishing (and they cook your catch the next day), and more. The island, rooms, and all areas were spotlessly clean at all times. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. Every day, we received 1 liter of water per person in the room; we also brought some extra water, so we didn’t need to buy more, as full board covers drinks only at breakfast (tea/coffee). The only small downside was the Wi-Fi coverage, which was quite poor — but honestly, it didn’t disturb us at all, as we spent most of our time enjoying the island and only checked our phones briefly at night. It was truly an amazing, relaxing experience — highly recommended!

1. Location. It is natural island with lush greenery and a home reef with all the Indian Ocean inhabitants in place. The beautiful beach is just steps from the door of your room. Short trip from the airport by boat. 2. The management performs a good job there, everything is well maintained and well organized, the staff knows what to do and does their work in right manner. E.g. after the wind or rain it was a lot of leaves and other parts of vegetation on the ground. And every time it was cleared in very effective manner all over the island. 3. Special thanks to our waiter Raju, who was very clever and attentive in his service. Also the cleaner, Ali was making our room impeccably clean every morning despite all the sand brought in during the previous day. 4. We have two birthday celebrations during our week there and we ordered a dinner on the beach for each of them. Again, everything was perfect and we enjoyed every moment there.

There are some places with strong currents around the island , which limits your possibilities to enjoy the reef observing. But it was a good job done to mitigate that obstacle. There signs all around the island, in the rooms etc., showing the scheme where the currents are and where it is safe to swim. The staff on the pier also warns you when the conditions are unfavorable.

We stayed 4 nights in Embudu village and we had an amazing experience, it’s only 20mn by boat from the airport in the middle of the ocean Indian surrounded by crystal clear water, the dream! The facilities are very simple and very clean, the food is actually amazing and tasty, there are plenty of healthy options and every night they propose different dishes! The staffs were amazing especially at the restaurant and the bar. Ali from the housekeeping team was incredible, always smiling and very elegant. The island is small but there is a lot of space to chill, relax and tan so sometimes it feels that you are just by yourself! It’s a great place to rest and recharge, the evening are quiets so don’t expect to party, the propose few evening animations during the weekend and a lot of things to do during the day so if you want to be active, you can snorkel, dive, going to others islands and rent a paddle to have fun! Thank you Embudu team for the stay!!
