Seaside Resort Finolhu — Hotel in South Maalhosmadulu

⭐️ An Absolutely Spectacular Holiday at Seaside Finolhu, Maldives: A Review Beyond Words! ⭐️ Wow, wow! 😱 What an incredible experience at the spectacular Seaside Finolhu in the Maldives! Honestly, words truly cannot describe how amazing this island paradise is. This has been, without a doubt, the best ever vacation we've ever taken. We will be back! Culinary Masterpieces and Must-Visit Spots The food was absolutely spectacular, and the sheer variety of restaurants was impressive, offering a true culinary journey across the resort. The Crab Shack was a true highlight wow, what a night! You absolutely must be there on a Friday night to experience the little boat trip over (which is actually attached to the island). This chilled-out, toes-in-the-sand restaurant, situated on the spectacular 1km sandbank, is a must-do! The food, as you can see from our photos, was spectacular, the night was amazing, and the sunset was truly spectacular. We loved this chilled restaurant, its secluded location makes it a wonderfully relaxing and chill place to dine. The soft-shell crabs, crispy prawns, and super fresh fish were all utterly delicious! Kanusan Japanese Restaurant was another breathtaking experience. Dining at this award-winning overwater venue transcended mere food; it was a masterpiece of flavor, artistry, and hospitality. From the elegant ambiance to the impeccable service, every detail was thoughtfully curated. Our meal was an unforgettable experience, with each dish beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and presented with precision. The passion and dedication of the team were evident in every bite. And let's not forget Beach Kitchen (the main restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Each day of the week featured a different theme, and the varied international menu was delicious! Be sure to try the fresh, wood-fired pizza available for lunch and dinner. The Heart of the Experience: The Dedicated Finolhu Staff While the setting and food were world-class, it was the super nice staff who truly elevated this trip. They are incredibly attentive and constantly checking your feedback, making you feel genuinely cared for. A special shout-out to Ali at Beach Kitchen—what a beautiful man! His kindness and service made every visit a pleasure. We love you, Ali! ❤️ And finally, the most important man: Raaish, our butler (or 'Roohu' as they are known here). Wow! What a beautiful young man who treated us with such love and kindness. He anticipated our every need, making our stay seamless, special, and memorable. Thank you, Raaish, we will remember you for a lifetime ❤️ This was a holiday filled with beauty, relaxation, and magnificent food, all delivered with world-class service. We are already dreaming of our return to Seaside Finolhu! Love! ❤️ We...

Incredibly beautiful resort! They recently renovated the whole resort and I can say that now it’s one of the best resorts in Maldives. We stayed in the Ocean Pool Villa and the villa was spectacular, the design was so beautiful and lively, the pool was breathtaking. Also all the ocean pool villas are on the reef side so you can just jump to the sea and the beautiful reef is just there in front of you to do snorkeling! We saw black tip sharks and eagle rays everyday! The food also really good, there are 5 different restaurants for different cuisines! We really enjoyed the sushi’s at Kanusan and the arabic food at Arabian grill. The island is huge and there are so many things to do so you can spend long holiday without getting bored! It also has its own sand bank so you can have great photos! They have a great dive center and they go to hanifaru bay on the season to dive or snorkel with 100s of mantas so definitely ask if it’s the season when you’re there, it’s a must to experience!!

Lastly the staff were amazing! They were so professional and ready to help at all times! Also our villa was clean at all times and they were leaving little gifts every now and then which were really cute touches!

The seaplane transfer was also really nice and easy! The resort arranged everything in perfect timings, without even requesting they made us have a late check in time which was 6 pm so we wouldn’t need to wait at the airport because of our late departure flight. We ended up having a day more in our beautiful villa which I think...

Our honeymoon at Finolhu Maldives was magical!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with exceptional hospitality and a warm welcome. The resort's stunning location in the Maldives left us in awe with its clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. Our overwater villa was a luxurious haven direct ocean access. We loved to just jump into the water and could not stop marveling about the sea life just outside of our vila.

The dining options were outstanding, offering a range of delectable cuisines served in picturesque settings.

What truly set Finolhu apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, always with a smile and a personal touch. We want to especially thank Xain for his excellent service and open heart. Also we want to say a big thank you to Martine, who always made sure we had the best experience and all was to our fullest satisfaction. 😊 Activities like snorkelling and swimming with mantas added excitement to our honeymoon. We can also highly recommend getting a massage, it was probably the best we had in our entire life. The beautiful setting the massage techniques are absolutely worth the money.

In summary, Finolhu Maldives is the ultimate destination for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. Its natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, exceptional dining, and outstanding service create an unforgettable experience.

We can't wait to return and highly recommend it to others seeking a slice...
