3 Star Maldives Holidays

Leonardo Passini

On this island I experienced one of the most relaxing and immersive holidays of my life. the village staff is really very kind, friendly and always available. the staff has always been very kind, they have always taken care of every detail and always dedicated their attention to us. the apartments are surrounded by greenery, but are a minute from the beach. The sea is beautiful, fascinating and the coral reef is infinitely beautiful. Cleanliness reigns supreme in this beautiful tourist village. the diving center is really efficient. ours was a perfect experience in an enchanting place that we will definitely repeat.

Pure paradise: by far the best accommodation experience we’ve ever had. The island itself is a tropical paradise - soft, powdery sand, crystal-clear waters with the most incredible shades of blue, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Every single view looked like a postcard! The water here is unbelievable—so clear, so blue. The island itself is well-maintained, with plenty of spots to just relax and take in the beauty around you. We had the chance to stay in both the beach bungalow and the water bungalow, and while both were fantastic, the water bungalow was absolutely next level! Waking up to the gentle sound of waves, stepping directly onto the deck with a stunning ocean view and watching marine life right through the floor of your room - just magical. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and had everything needed for a perfect stay. Another thing that truly stood out was the amazing staff. They were not only incredibly helpful but also plentiful, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that guests always had assistance when needed. Their warmth and attentiveness made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a place that offers breathtaking scenery, incredible service, and an unforgettable experience, Embudu Village is the one. Easily a 5/5 experience!

I love how the island preserves the unspoiled nature of the Maldives, bringing back memories of childhood days on our islands. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. However, the rooms are in urgent need of renovation.

The island is fantastic very few water villas which haven't spoilt the reef, it's a quite dive island. the food was very good a buffet with lots of choice and fresh.

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...

We stayed here in February 2025. It's a nice place but be aware that it appears to be in a decaying state. The village earned many awards for excellence up until 2018, sadly nothing new since then. Rooms are clean, the grounds are somewhat kept up. The area is beautiful. Food is mediocre, not the greatest at all. It's just OK. Staff is really amazingly helpful. It is advisable to purchase the full All-Inclusive package to, if one elects to purchase the Half Board you will be treated as second class, you will pay for water at dinner, you will have to pay $18 USD if wanting lunch there on property. High Tea in the late afternoon is $5 USD, again if not all inclusive. If you use more than the water allowed in your room, you will pay for extra as well. Thie water rationing seems to be a thing in the Maldives.

Stayed after a diving safari for a view days in this hotel. Its close to the airport and the safari boat jetty. Was a nice stay and absolutely worth, we enjoyed our downtime after a week of diving.

Equator Manager will try to make this review as hate and inaccurate. But EQUATOR VILLAGE is not the best place to stay if you are visiting addu. This place is old and the place is falling apart. Don’t believe their marketing pictures. ( waiting for mr. Waheed to respond)
