We flew from London to Mali, Maldives, via Qatar. From Mali, we got a speedboat to Eriyadu Island Resort. This was not our usual type of holiday, but we were looking to switch off for a week and unwind. It was amazing - sunshine, sea, warmth, good food, activities, attentive staff and seclusion. Perfect. There are about 50 cabins on the island. So, you’ll not be swamped with crowds. The mix of people we had with us were Brits, Dutch, Germans, and Russians. It was lovely. The island is small, you can literally walk around the island in less than 15 minutes. However, there is plenty to do, or nothing to do … your choice. The island is all inclusive, so there is nothing extra to pay for. There are cocktails and mocktails all day if you want them. The food offering at breakfast, lunch and dinner was very good. No complaints at all. It was nice to try a variety of foods from all over the world. The fish was lovely, the meats were delicious. It wasn’t 5 star dining, but it was a very good selection, perfectly cooked. The beach areas are divine. Snorkelling, body boarding and kayaking (canoeing), the gym are all included free too. You’ll need to get a snorkelling mask from the dive centre, but it is free. You could book some dive lessons or dive time, but these do cost extra. We also had a lovely sunset cruise to try and find some dolphins … sadly, no luck that day, but it was a lovely long boat ride out past other islands. We also had a nice hour long massage at the spa … very welcoming. We booked thru Blue Bay Travel. The price for our 8 day holiday was very good. You could notch things up to a 5 star hotel and food, but you’ll be paying £500 more for a week. This was just perfect. We really enjoyed ourselves. Plenty of rest and beach time, as well as some water activities. A perfect taster holiday to experience the Maldives.
