I returned to Embudu after 20 years with high hopes, only to be met with deep disappointment. What struck me most were the extensive land reclamation and construction works for new artificial islands surrounding Embudu. Two decades ago, these islands didn’t exist, and Embudu was a truly magical diving destination. It appears that the creation of these new landmasses has altered the ocean currents significantly. As a result, coral life around Embudu has suffered dramatically. Vibrant coral reefs—once the heart of diving here—are now almost completely absent. Marine biodiversity has dwindled to a fraction of what it once was. The dive center itself is still exactly as I remember it from 20 years ago. Sadly, that is not a compliment. No meaningful updates, no noticeable improvements—just stagnation. The entire diving experience and even the island’s atmosphere no longer feel special. It’s a real shame to witness such a decline in what used to be a paradise for divers.

Вот и закончилась наша пятая поездка на Мальдивы. Пятый бюджетный резорт с хорошим рифом. До этого были Ранвелли, Фихалхохи, Бандосе и Эрияду. В этот раз Эмбуду Сразу скажу, что поездка удалась. Очень близко от Мале – 15 минут на спидботе. В этом и свои плюсы и минусы Летели Этихадами. Все по расписанию не смотря на ковры. Прилетели в 5 с копейками утра, около 7 вышли, до 9 пришлось ждать трансфер, нов начале 10 уже на острове, в 11 уже заселили, до этого успели окунуться. Обратно рейс в 19 , трансфер был в 16-45. Из номеров не выселяли, но обедом не накормили. В этом отношении политика резорта достаточно лояльная Остров по размеру между Эрияду и Фихой. Как и Фиха весь зеленый. Но если на Фихе джунгли. Что пройти можно только по дорожке через центр острова, то на Эмбуду подлеска нет, можно под деревьями пройти везде и соответственно до любой точки острова пройти в тени деревьев, не выходя на солнце. Заранее написал в отель просил номера 1-20 (юго-запад острова), обещали по возможности дали 45 и 46. Сначала расстроился, но в результате остались довольны. Номера вполне хорошо расположены, свой участок пляжа не переполненный, с него самый короткий выход на стенку Перед номерами есть свободное пространство, там и гамаки и есть где лежаки поставить в тени. И закатная сторона. К нам приходили на закат Самый большой минус – видно Мале, но посчитали это несущественным. Опасались, что будет приносить мусор от Мале, но даже во время небольшого шторма только листья, ветки, кокосы выносило, и очень быстро убирали. О главном -риф замечательный, много живых, цветных кораллов ( по мальдивским меркам) , ни в одном из других резортов, где были такого разнообразия не было. И, как следствие, риф очень богат живностью. Большое разнообразие и количество. Акулы, черепахи, осьминоги, мурены. Даже первый раз на Мальдивах видели каракатицу. Про рифовых рыб вообще молчу. Рыбий суп наблюдали постоянно. Проще сказать, что не видели: хвостоколов (орляков встречали), крылаток (первый раз, пожалуй, на Мальдивах их не было), мало иглобрюхов и кузовков, но много рыб-ежей и аратрона встречали. Риф не хуже, чем на Фихе. А то и лучше. Но есть труднодоступная часть - западная. Расположена далеко от берега и довольно сильное течение вдоль рифа+ волны, поэтому только один раз оплыли полностью, пробовали еще, но то течение, то волны, то непогода мешали. Сервис обычный для бюджетного резорта, вполне устроил, уборка раз в день. Были на FB. AI не отбиваем. В баре неплохой выбор коктейлей, цена от 8 до 17 долларов, в основном около 12. Дешевое пиво по мальдивским меркам, 6$ за 0,33. Один раз даже Гиннес был в баре, но на нас и закончился (всего 3 бутылки были) Разливное пиво вполне хорошее. Вино по бутылкам все по 45$ Бокал -7$. Контингент в основном немцы, были другие европейцы, русских мало, китайцев была только одна пара. Бултыхались в жилете и нарукавниках около берега и фотографировались. Проблем не создавали. Немцы тоже все тихие, наверно атмосфера острова так действует. Ну

Unforgettable Stay 🏝️ From the moment we landed in Malé, the Embudu Village experience began with warmth and professionalism. A member of the resort staff was waiting at the airport, ready to assist us with everything we needed — including helping us grab a coffee before our speedboat ride. This set the tone for what would be an unforgettable stay. Arriving at the resort felt like stepping into a postcard — a privately-owned island with endless shades of turquoise water, soft white sands, and pure tranquility. We didn’t even have to worry about our luggage — it magically appeared in our superior beach villa before we even noticed. The food was a highlight! Each night had a different theme, keeping things exciting and delicious. Every second night featured live music with various bands, and Sundays brought in a DJ that really added to the tropical vibe. A special mention must go to the barmen at the bar and bar terrace — they were truly exceptional. We had the all-inclusive package, and they made every effort to ensure my husband, our adult daughter, and I were cared for. Their friendliness and attention to detail made every drink feel special. The staff throughout the resort — from housekeeping to reception, waiters, and the lovely team at Serena Spa — were consistently warm, welcoming, and professional. We highly recommend visiting the spa right after you arrive. We had a relaxing couples’ massage that was just what we needed after the long journey from Jersey (Channel Islands). Our daughter enjoyed a Balinese massage, complete with a lovely matcha tea afterwards. Yes, the spa treatments are a bit of a splurge (around $100 for a 60-minute massage), but honestly, worth every penny for the quality and care provided. And then — the cherry on top. On our final day, the team moved us to a water villa free of charge so we could enjoy our last hours on the island in true comfort, even after checking out of our beach bungalow. It was an unexpected and generous gesture that meant the world to us. We are deeply grateful for such an unforgettable holiday and the kindness of the entire Embudu Village team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Iwona, Andrzej, and Ava x

Came to Embudu Village for my wife’s 50th birthday. Wanted to take her somewhere beautiful, was not disappointed. Bungalows are between 10 and 20m from the beautiful shoreline depending where you are on the tiny island. Food is exceptionally well prepared, always a good variety to suit all tastes, themed cuisine night throughout the stay. Always a South Indian option available which is absolutely fantastic. The staff everywhere are absolutely lovely, hardworking and can’t do enough for you. Our waiter for the entire stay was a lovely guy called Raju. Super professional, very friendly and looked after us to a 5 star level. The village is low tech, no tv’s in rooms but free WiFi throughout. Only downside was the absence of a shop where we could buy the usual holiday snacks etc however it wasn’t really an issue. Rooms are serviced daily, clean towels, bed linen and clean beach towels are left outside. Highly recommended.

Atollo piccolo, ci siamo trovati molto bene. Personale gentile e disponibile. Dopo 2 giorni già ci conoscevano e sapevano i nostri gusti (all inclusive consigliato). L'unico inconveniente le zanzare. Consigliata l'escursione con il diving per vedere gli squali nutrice e le mante.

The island is the perfect place for a couple, maximum relaxing with very caring staff. Especially Mo Hossein, our waiter in the restaurant has been extraordinarily helpful (organising a table only for the two of us) and friendly, also the complete bar team and their manager have always been friendly, welcoming and made our stay a wonderful experience.

We stayed in mid June 2025. It's a family trip of 4. The 3 night stay was absolutely fantastic. All three meals were Buffet with a wide spread from starters, to mains to a variety of deserts. The food was fantastic with a mixed variety ranging from different continents. Kudos to Chef Malin and his team. We stayed in a Water Villa with a glass bottom. The rooms, the beaches and the full island is clean and well maintained. Great place snorkeling with a nice beach. The front office manager Mr Rasheed was very helpful and the staff is courteous and helpful. A big thanks goes to Mr Ramsey Perera for making our stay a memorable one.
