The vacation felt like a dream. The nature there is incredible – we saw baby sharks right from our balcony and on the beach. There were so many types of fish and coral, all visible just by snorkeling in shallow water, no need to go deep.
The staff were incredibly friendly and always attentive, making sure we had everything we wanted. The food was amazing with a wide variety to choose from. If you enjoy trying different dishes and love cocktails, I highly recommend going all-inclusive.
I recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it, but don’t worry if you don’t – you can rent everything there, even a GoPro.
There’s no need to pack many shoes, as you’ll hardly wear them. Sand covers the entire island, and you’ll mostly be barefoot the whole time.

Amazing and great experience , Embudu Village is like a heaven in the earth, absolutely stunning hospitality, all staff were extremely polite and helpful in anything we needed and with 100% caring.
All the dishes are awesome, tasty and especially their theme nights are in international standards. The restaurant was superb, evening entertainment was on top of the world. Room was very clean and tidy.
Last three nights of our holiday were upgraded to water bungalows courtesy of the General manager, wow view was spectacular and splendid from the water villas. please experience at least one night in those water bungalows which are very beautiful and you will never forget the romantic atmosphere.
Thank you Didi, Dennis and Darshana for making our stay so much an unforgettable memory.
No words to say Embudu Village is a great resort, we will surely repeat this location and anyone can choose those who like to experience a friendly, relaxing and romantic atmosphere..

We enjoyed staying here last March and decided to return during the south west monsoon, to possibly see some different species underwater. The resort did not disappoint; friendly staff, plentiful buffets and comfortable bungalow. The weather was nice, some rain during some evenings. The water visibility was good around the house reef. We took some boat trips for snorkelling; quite a bit of plankton as expected at this time of year; this gave us close up views of Manta Rays feeding at the surface; Magical!

Perfect holiday if you want to just chill and unwind, it’s like paradise so chilled and laid back, we stayed in a water bungalow and it was lovely and clean, it got cleaned everyday, new clean towels and beach towels everyday if you wanted them changed.food was nice and hot, and something different everyday.
Beach was clean and tidy, also plenty of sunbed dotted all over the island, even in secluded places, wasn’t crowded at all.
The bar staff were so lovely and pleasant, especially kamal nothing was to much trouble, always as a smile on his face ( lovely kid)
It felt like paradise to us perfect chilled holiday, thank you embudu

We had over an hour waiting at Malé airport for others to arrive. After standing for some time, we were ushered to some seating. It was hot and noisy and there was little information about what was going on. This time could have been used to fill in the card reception required (despite all the details having been provided when booking) rather than the minute you arrive on the island. There is no gangplank for getting on and off the speedboat transfer to the island. The crew were helpful in getting passengers on / off the bobbing boat. Our room was fairly spartan. The bed was hard. The bathroom was large. There was a large crack in the basin. It was good to sit on the patio and look at the sea through the trees. Our room had a better outlook than some and we were pleased to be far from the generator. Watching 5 groundsmen raking up every leaf the morning after a storm was interesting. The grounds are well maintained with sand to walk on everywhere except the dining room. The foot wash for each room is a great idea. We are not divers but could walk into the lagoon and snorkel. Despite all the signs about trying to be eco-friendly, no free water in glass bottles, as in the room, is available in the dining area - you must buy water in plastic bottles. Embudu is the only place we have ever stayed where “ordinary water” is not freely available. The limitation of 2 bottles of water per room per day is a downside of the resort. The food was very good with a wide selection. Something is freshly cooked at each meal, eg omelette, fish BBQ, wok noodles. The dessert selection takes things to the next level making it difficult to decide which to try. The accommodation with meals is reasonable but everything else costs, priced in $US. We were able to stay in our room until 30 minutes before departure (mid afternoon) which was great.
