Amazing place for snorkeling.
Only a bit aged bungalows are the biggest minus, which does not in any way ruin the experience.
Great service. Welcoming hosts are eager to let you stay beyond your checkout time if your flight is in the evening.
Great food. Great beaches.
Stay away from the diving centre as they want to strip you of money by charging every single piece of equipment separately. Plus charges for the boat dive, plus charges for the guide, plus plus plus...

Perfect place for full relaxation. Excellent beaches and beautiful blue water, island full of vegetation (palms, trees, bushes…). Ideal for snorkeling, bring your own equipment. Bring your swimming shoes, there are a lot of corals in the water!
Island is quite small there is no much activities possible on the island. Few excursions are possible. Any extras will be highly charged since there is only one hotel on the island.
Rooms are a bit old.
Return ticket with speed boat, 20min from Male is quite pricey, 90$/person, and only option.
Overall if you want just to relax and enjoy on the beach in the shadow of the palm this is the perfect place for you.

Embudu Resort in the Maldives exceeded all our expectations! Impeccable service, breathtaking views, and pristine beaches. The overwater bungalows are a must try for an unforgettable experience. The staff's hospitality and attention specifically to detail made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommend for a luxurious and relaxing getaway!!

I completely agree that there are loads of resorts out there. Whatever Embudu has to offer( personal and first Maldives experience) is a smile on each and every faces I met here. Maintenance people, bar and restaurant, reception every single person has a smile and they are kind and so keen to please. Food is fabulous, nothing to fault. Drinks ( and again the bar people) perfect. Snorkeling, beaches all surrounding absolutely fabulous.
Rooms are okay, bit old furniture, but does it matter? My advise, if you not fussy and you happy to be happy...thats the place..such lovely people... what a lovely birthday I had....
Did I say once in a life time...? Nop, we ll come again. Absolutely. Thanks for reading 🙂 I hope it helps

We visited four islands in Maldives and Embudu ranked #4 in terms of value for money.
Location: very close to Male but still the speedboat is not cheap. It's $90 per person round trip from Male.
Room: quite old and very little amenities.
Facilities: very little.
Food: below average. a lot of repetitive food and many items are not good quality. with full board, you still need to pay for the water. this never happened in any other islands we visited. we are quite surprised that full broad doesn't include water.
Beach: some nice ones but make sure you wear water shoes. There are some dead coral in the water so it's easy to hurt your feet.
Snorkeling: it might be good before but now it's mostly grey and dead corals. there are lots of fish though.
Activities: very little to almost none. but it's quite i guess except around 4-5pm in the afternoon when all the staff started to play soccer and badminton. other than that, it's very quite.
Atmosphere: money driven and they probably don't expect return guests anyways. everything is $$$. snorkeling mask is $7 per day. one bottle of water is $3 even with full board. these are free at the other islands.
Overall: it feels more like a local island than a resort. For the money we paid, it's not worth it. We got better service, food, drinks amenities, activities at Plumeria which costs about one third of Embudu.
