We came here for our two friends; getting married. I honestly am speechless...I think any other wedding I'll attend can top this one. From day one, the staff have been beyond accommodating and completely friendly. I had to train my brain not to feel bad asking them to do stuff because their level of insistence of "call on us to do everything for you. You are expected to relax" was a level I've just haven't witnessed before. Upon arrival by Sea Plane, they welcomed you and you were given a guide who gave you access to their personal WhatsApp number.
Enough about the guides, the weather, views and water are just divine. They have an abundance of activities and they were all amazing, from snorkeling to DJ parties at the "Crab Shack" each one came with the best of an experience and nothing was short of incredible. I myself am not that big on snorkeling, but this excursion experience has made me want to do more when given the chance now. We saw a Manta Ray, various species of fish, spinner dolphins and sea turtles. If you come here, not only do you get to keep the equipment for your room, but you can just walk right from your deck, into the water and have as much snorkeling fun till your heart's content day or night.
Overall, this place has been a true treasure of paradise and I have been thoroughly spoiled now and might just always compare any other Island resort with this location. If you have the means, time and financial ability to make this vacation yours, just do it hands down. I would absolutely make this journey again in the future.

Finolhu is everything you'd expect from a stay in the Maldives. Crystal blue waters, white sand, luxurious accommodation and incredible dining. We stayed in an ocean pool villa which was spacious, with incredible sunsets over the water. You could see schools of fish swimming in the water while lounging in your private pool. The food was faultless, some of the best we've had. And the staff lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend!

AMAZING! We loved every single part of the stay.
Amazing rooms, large and clean, and hotel, they offer many activities to do during the day, as well as cocktails, parties..
You can tell from the staff that they really know the island and the sea, they were always informing us, swimming with us and even playing some games.
What we love the most is that there is not mosquitos in the island ( I don't know how they did it, but we didn't see any during our stay) not in the island or villa.
Restaurants are amazing ( the best is the japanese by far). But we also loved the little cafe they had and the seafood one by the island.
Overall great experience, we were scared about being bored in Maldives, but wasn't the case at all. Great service, they all look like a family and super friendly and the hotel couldn't be better.
Thank you we will for sure be back soon!

Where do I even begin? This resort swept me off my feet and dropped me right into a slice of paradise! From the moment I arrived, Steven Phillips and his incredible team made me feel like a VIP. I mean, who needs a red carpet when you have such a warm welcome that practically hugs you?
Let's talk about those water villas! They weren't just rooms; they were my personal oasis. The interior was like stepping into a design magazine come to life. Every detail, from the plush furnishings to the sleek accents, exuded luxury without being pretentious. I could have spent hours admiring the craftsmanship of every piece.
Now, let's talk about the bathroom. Brace yourself for the view because, believe it or not, it's ocean-front! Yes, you heard that right. While soaking in the tub or freshening up, I was treated to an unparalleled vista of endless blue. It felt like a surreal blend of comfort and nature's masterpiece.
And the deck – oh, that deck! It was more like a private terrace to heaven. Spacious doesn't even begin to describe it. I practically had my own outdoor kingdom, complete with a view that seemed to stretch into eternity. Every sunrise and sunset from that deck felt like a symphony of colors painted just for me.
The ocean view from every angle – it's hard to put into words. It wasn't just a view; it was an experience. Looking out at that vast expanse of blue, feeling the sea breeze kiss my skin, it was as if time stood still, and all that existed was this paradise before my eyes.
This place isn't just a resort; it's an escape to pure happiness, where every corner whispers the secrets of serenity and every glance outside feels like diving into a painting of utopia.
