Luxury and magical, Finohlu exceeded my expectations. Rooms - We stayed in the overwater villa, which comes with blackout curtains, a beautiful and spacious bedroom and bathroom with all the amenities and butler service. Our butler- Aflaah was quick to respond to all our needs. There was no request he did not attend to, and it made our stay that much better. Food - The resort has a few restaurants. We opted for half board. The buffet at the main restaurant is beautifully designed with plenty of options and fantastic food. We visited kanusan and the crab shack, and both restaurants did not disappoint. Resort - the resort has a futsal court, a kids area, a pool, a bar, a tennis court, a gym, a spa, a salon, watersports, and a dive center. My husband and I went on 1 dive, and it was excellent. They also provide free snorkelling gear as well a few watersport equipment (non motorised) for free such a padel board. The resort is also something complimentary each day - a meet or greet with free cocktails and canapés or beachside cocktails and entertainment during the evenings. Service - the staff here are very courteous and lovely. The manager comes to greet you the minute you arrive and gives you a brief of the place before transferring you to your butler who takes care of all your needs. Transport - requires a sea plane to get here from the Male airport. Cost - Well worth the luxury and service. I would easily come here again.

Firstly, for anyone researching where to stay in the Maldives - just pick Finolhu. After hours & hours of research, we did and it surpassed every expectation in every sense. When talking to other guests who have stayed in other well known luxury resorts, they all commented how Finolhu was the best one by far. If you want detail read below, if you want the summary - book it!! You won't regret it. We travel on average around 5-10 times a year globally between work trips and holidays, we have stayed in a lot of luxury hotels and Finolhu hands down is the best one we have ever experienced. This is down to a few factors: 1. Service - This is luxury, personalized service from the minute you jump in the transfer to the seaplane lounge where there's a beautiful cafe with a terrace, a delicious spread of food & drink and even showers with all you need to refresh after a long flight. When you land, Finolhu have a large, stable jetty connected to the island, which as we dropped off other passengers to other resorts en route we realized isn't always the norm! Some are small pontoons in the middle of the ocean....small bit scary! You are greeted by a team of waving staff who welcome you with a fresh coconut and there you meet your butler, or Rohoo, who takes you on a brief tour of the resort while you luggage is being delivered into your villa. Throughout our stay our Rohoo was Raaish. Words can't describe how thoughtful and attentive Raaish was during our stay, nothing was a problem, he is a calm, smiling presence throughout your day and we miss him! Endless buggy rides around the place anytime of day or night, organizing excursions and spa appointments, letting us know in advance if restaurants are getting busy so we book in before missing a slot, letting us know every morning if there's something special on activity wise and what time is best to be there - the list goes on! His service took our stay to the next level and we will be back because of this. We were also very impressed with the room service, with the room being attended to twice a day for towels and bedding if you so desired, mini bar restocked and the nighttime turn down was a lovely touch - it kept our villa shining throughout our stay never mind the sand and sea water we were bringing in! There wasn't one moment of the entire 7 days where we had to look for someone for our next drink, they were always keeping an eye out on our water levels and how empty the beers/cocktails were There's also around 2 staff members per guest so this is why the service is so efficient and seamless Special mentions to: Alfaah who helped us very late at night when we had an injured member of the party and made sure we were in at the island doctor when we needed to be Ayya who proudly manages The Arabian Grill, he's so knowledgeable & passionate about his restaurant and turned our package into a culinary & wine pairing experience for the night! 2. Food - We didn't realize Finolhu was owned by a G

This was our second stay at Finolhu, and it was even more special than our first visit in 2023, thanks to the incredible additions and thoughtful touches around the island. As a family of four with two active girls (8 and 11), keeping them entertained is essential on a remote island. Thankfully, Finolhu made it effortless with a variety of daily activities, including the brand-new Art Club, which opened during our stay. The kids’ club exceeded our expectations, keeping both children engaged and happy every day—an absolute win for parents needing some downtime! Our double room was nothing short of spectacular, perfectly located near the popular sea inflatable, water sports center, gym, spa, and the Milk Lab (special mention for the Ham & Cheese toasties—delicious!). The staff were a highlight of our trip—warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. A big thank you to General Manager Steven, who was visible everywhere, leading by example and ensuring all guests felt cared for. We were so impressed that we extended our stay and even returned for the festive period. In hindsight, we should have booked a longer trip from the start! The food across all restaurants was exceptional for both adults and children, and the resort’s facilities were impeccable. We rarely revisit resorts, but Finolhu has become the exception. It won’t be our last visit, and we highly recommend it to families or anyone looking for an unforgettable island getaway.
