Eriyadu Island Resort Just a green speck on the, otherwise, aquamarine landscape, Eriyadu Island consists of just seven square acres. On this secluded oasis you can make use of the luxurious resort facilities. If you prefer to relax on the idyllic white sand then no one would blame you. On the other hand, adventurers might like the sound of the on-site PADI dive centre – especially as the resort boasts a bustling house reef which is visited by 95% of Maldivian marine life. The island will give you secluded oasis vibes. Inside the resort, however, you’ll find nothing but opulence. Two restaurants offer everything from stylish buffets which boast dishes from across the world, to relaxed romantic dining with the majestic Indian Ocean providing the perfect backdrop. Elsewhere in Eriyadu Island Resort you may want to make the most of your bargain Maldives holiday by paying a visit to the resort spa.

South Palm Resort Prepare yourself for five-star luxury at South Palm Resort. Placed in the idyllic Addu Atoll it’s shimmers as the example of holiday perfection. However, where Eriyadu boasts its stunning diving conditions, South Palm is a great place to soak in some Maldivian culture.
