Surrounded by a fine white sand beach and a crystal clear lagoon, Eriyadu is ideal for those seeking a ‘get-away-from-it-all’ holiday in the North Malé Atoll.

The tiny island is reached by a 45 minute speedboat transfer from Malé and, although there are fewer facilities than most resorts, a friendly and comfortable atmosphere is what makes the island special and a favourite of ours.

The resort features 76 rooms with spectacular views of the lagoon (60 deluxe beach villas and 16 standard in a two storey block near the dive centre). All rooms are simply styled and feature king sized beds (twin beds arranged on request), modern amenities, semi open-air bathrooms and a private sundeck with furniture.

Facilities include dining experiences at the Mela restaurant, Blitz Café and Turtle beach bar, swimming pool, Guraha spa, water sports, fitness centre, table tennis, volleyball and a dive centre.

Euro Divers

Euro Divers Eriyadu operate the well equipped PADI affiliated dive centre located on its own jetty with easy access to the reef. The spectacular house reef has five entry/exit points around the island, suitable for snorkellers and divers on the unlimited shore diving package. There are over 45 dive sites to explore including colourful sloping reefs, plateaus and thila dives. A range of PADI courses and full Aqualung equipment rental are available.

In addition to the house reef, daily boat dives are offered across the North and South Malé atolls (up to 60 minute boat ride away). 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.

Flouro diving and underwater scooters are available here. Water visibility is at its best from May to Dec. Nitrox (32%) is complimentary for qualified divers.
