The food was good and most importantly the snorkeling was great! I saw a turtle, sharks, Nemo and lots and lots of other fish! The corals are also growing back! I would also recommend the Dolphin tour they offer! Rooms are basic but have everything you need. I was only in there to shower or sleep! What I also liked was the little library. I finished the books I took with faster than I thought I would. I exchanged them there for some new ones to read :) I will definitely come back for another visit!! Read Less

We stayed in a superior beach bungalow on full board and it was simply perfect. From the moment we boarded the speedboat transfer at Male we found the staff to be attentive, welcoming and helpful. Within less than an hour we were being welcomed onto Embudu and checking in. Rooms are basic but were all we needed. A fridge, saferty deposit box, kettle, two free bottles of water per day. No TV unless you are in a water bungalow, but who cares? This is paradise, so no TV is required. The surroundings beat any TV screen. Rooms are attended every day by the staff to clean if required and deliver the days free water. The man who looked after us in room 82 was brilliant. A big thank you to him. My partner and I had a massage at Serena Spa. That was beautifully relaxing. My masseur immediately identified a shoulder problem I've had for a while but didn't mention. She really worked on it and it eased up a lot afterwards. Thank you ladies. We would definitely recommend booking a session at Serena Spa. I think it was the first time I'd relaxed properly since 2017. The food on offer at Embudu is lovely. Plenty of variety to suit pretty much all tastes. My partner is vegetarian and still found the variety on offer to be very good. Do say hello to the wonderful Mr. Narinjana in the food hall and bar areas if you stay on Embudu. He is one seriously welcoming man and a credit to the resort. Always smiling, always helpful, always kind, despite the fact I think he works 25 hours a day. All the staff we encountered at Embudu were amazing. The lads in the main bar are a joy to be around. It's almost unfair to name just one, because they were all fantastic. I'd suggest taking a torch with you to Embudu. Some areas can be a little dark at night when you are walking to and from the restaurant and bar areas. A torch is also good for shark spotting from the jetty at night. I took a basic hammock, the type made from parachute material and can be bought online for about $20. I put this up in the coconut trees and had an absolutely wonderful time relaxing there. Oh, also take a quality mosquito spray. Most people seemed unaffected, but I was bitten many times. Also don't get complacent with the suncream. I used factor 50 and I still got burnt when snorkelling. The sun there takes no prisoners. Talking about the sun; make sure you check out the sunset at least once while you are there. In the right conditions it's stunning. The natural habitat on Embudu is beautiful. A nice variety of trees and plants. You'll see geckos and small iguanas on land, flying foxes (fruit bats) flying over at dusk and an absolute wonderland under the ocean if you take your snorkelling or diving equipment. There are all kinds of tropical fish, reef sharks, turtles, Moray eels, rays and a whole lot more. Although we didn't use the Dive Centre we spoke to others who did. There are some nice diving/snorkelling trips on offer and the Dive Centre has a good reputation. It's worth saying that Embudu is not a pretentious Maldives resort. If you want butlers fawning all over you then Embudu is not for you. But if you want to stay on a beautiful island in paradise, with genuinely good, welcoming and professional staff. If you just want to relax with other laid back holiday makers then Embudu is simply perfect and could be right up your street. We've been to some amazing places over the years, but our time at Embudu has been the best of them all. Thank you to everyone at Embudu Village who helped make our time there so special. We'll never forget you or your beautiful corner of paradise. Read Less

Our beach bungalow, number 58, was absolutely fantastic and gave us an unforgettable stay. There are numerous reasons why we give this paradise a well deserved 5 star rating. The beach bungalow was a dream. The location was simply unbeatable: Right on the white sand beach and surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water. The view was breathtaking, especially during sunset. The accommodation itself was spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The natural ambiance of the bungalow perfectly suited the island and gave us the ultimate island experience. A particular highlight of our stay was the outstanding service person, Hossein, who looked after us in the restaurant. We were impressed by his professionalism and attentiveness. Hossein took perfect care of us. His knowledge of the local cuisine was impressive and he always gave us the best recommendations. We felt like VIP guests thanks to his friendly nature and warm smile. The island itself is a true paradise. The beaches are pristine, the sea is clear and full of exotic marine life. We went on snorkeling trips and explored the breathtaking underwater world. There are also a variety of other activities such as kayaking, scuba diving and romantic beach walks. In summary, our stay at Embudu Village was simply fantastic. From the idyllic location and perfect beach bungalow to the outstanding service from Hossein and the entire team - everything was simply first class. We can wholeheartedly recommend Embudu Village and will definitely come back to enjoy this paradise island again. Many thanks to the whole Embudu Village team for an unforgettable time! Read Less

The island is a beautiful setting & you can see other islands so it doesn’t feel like you’re completely stranded/away from real life. The island has some great beaches, wildlife & snorkelling trips. Our main highlight was the trip to stingray city with Diverland, but there was many trips we both enjoyed. A thank you has to be said to all staff for providing us with great service. But a special thanks to Md hossain, our waiter at the restaurant, he was an absolute diamond. So smiley, friendly & just brilliant at his job. Read Less
