Surrounded by a fine white sand beach and a crystal clear lagoon, Eri Maldives (formerly Eriyadu Island Resort) is ideal for those seeking a ‘get-away-from-it-all’ holiday in the North Malé Atoll.
This tiny island is reached by a 45-minute speedboat transfer from Malé, making it an easily accessible resort for any Maldivian holiday or addition to liveaboard.
The resort features 68 rooms with inviting views of the lagoon. All rooms have a modern style and feature queen-sized beds (twin beds arranged on request), essential amenities, free WiFi, en suite bathrooms and air-conditioning. The Beach and Sky Rooms are situated in a low-rise block near to the main restaurant, pool, and bar, each with either balcony or terrace. The Beach Villas and Sunset Beach Villas fringe the beach edge around the island, with semi open-air bathroom, private terrace and sun loungers. Designed in a contemporary style with Maldivian artistry. The Beach Pool Villas have the addition of private plunge pool and expansive sun deck.
Facilities include dining experiences at the Soul Kitchen restaurant, where all meals are served buffet style. Private beach dining, under the starry sky, is available for special occasions and adds a sparkle to any stay. The Sip & Dip Bar is perched above the tranquil lagoon, with handcrafted cocktails, fine wines and refreshing mocktails. Guests have the choice to relax poolside on shaded loungers or kick back and watch the sun dip beneath the ocean from the over water terrace. The sun kissed Beach Shack, on the opposite side of the island, is nestled among palm trees and serves a selection of cold beverages throughout the day.
The onsite water sports centre invites guests to windsurf, jet ski, paddleboard, and snorkel on the peaceful house reef. The spa provides a selection of rejuvenating and relaxing treatments. There's also a fitness centre, table tennis, volleyball and dive centre. Eri Maldives can arrange excursions from golden hour sunset cruises to dolphin watching and thrilling fishing trips.
Euro Divers Eriyadu
Euro Divers Eriyadu operate a well-equipped PADI affiliated dive centre, located in the heart of ERI Maldives island. The inviting house reef has five entry/exit points around the island, suitable for snorkellers, divers and swimmers alike. The helpful dive team will assist in transporting equipment between the dive centre and entry/exit points where guests may see resident nurse sharks, turtles, and vibrant tropical fish.
There are over 45 dive sites to explore by day boat within 60-minutes journey, including colourful sloping reefs, plateaus and thila dives. Across the North and South Malé Atolls highlights include encounters with large schools of pelagic fish, turtles rays, mantas (year round but best Jan-Apr) and grey reef sharks. Suited to divers of all abilities, Madigaa has something for everyone and often some surprise visitors. Those who prefer sharks will want to dive Finger Piont and Helengeli and most will want to visit Boduthi Thila, a manta cleaning station. There's so much to see here, no matter your diving qualification.
A range of PADI courses and full rental equipment are available. Flouro diving and underwater scooters are available here too. Nitrox (32%) is complimentary for qualified divers.
