Villas Finolhu REPÚBLICA DAS MALDIVAS

I can honestly say this was the best holiday of my life so far.

After a long flight, I arrived at Club Med Finolhu for a 5-day stay and was warmly greeted by
our butler, Tatiana. She provided us with all the information we needed and patiently
answered all our questions, ensuring we felt comfortable and well-prepared for our stay.

As it was my first time snorkelling, I joined the snorkelling training class led by Finn. He
patiently guided me through the essential skills I needed before venturing out into the
ocean. The next day, I joined a snorkelling trip with Finn and another team member, Mossey.
Mossey led us into the underwater world, helping us spot fascinating sea creatures and truly
experience the beauty of marine life. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Throughout
the entire trip, both Finn and Mossey made sure we felt safe and relaxed, allowing us to fully
immerse ourselves in the magic of snorkelling.

In addition to snorkelling, the resort offers a variety of free activities, such as water polo
matches, multicultural nights, movie nights, and additional activities in Kani that we could
join. There were so many options to choose from that we couldn’t even fit them all into our
5-day stay.

Whenever we participated in activities or simply relaxed by the poolside bar, the staff were
always incredibly kind and friendly. Conversations felt like catching up with old friends,
adding to the welcoming and vibrant atmosphere of the resort. A sincere thank you to Finn
for his wonderful support and kindness, as well as to Tatiana, Mossey, Neo, and all the other
amazing staff we had the pleasure of meeting during our stay.

Finally, the breathtaking views deserve a special mention. Whether it was the sunrise,
sunset, or the endless ocean, every moment felt like living in paradise. It was an experience
unlike anything I’ve ever had before. I would wholeheartedly recommend Club Med Finolhu
to my friends and can confidently say it’s worth visiting again

it is an extraordinary journey staying at club med finolhu villa, I loved the views, foods, activities in the island, staffs are very friendly and willing to help to ensure we had the best experience during our while journey. (Special shouts out to Finn, Tatiana, Mossey and Neo.👍👍👍👍)
Also, a special thanks to restaurant teams and housekeeping teams for my birthday surprise, it is a wonderful and unforgettable memories❤️.

We passed one week at club med Finholu for the second time, it was an amazing stay, firstly Marguerite the Chef of the village have been there from the morning until the evening, she known how to take care of her guests, also each GO took care of us and we passed really good time with them. A huge thank you for Mosey, Adam and Iru we did snorkeling with them every day and it was a very good experience, during our lunch and dinner Nattu took care of us all the time he was the best waiter!!!
And Gaya our butler was present at any time of our stay, she is always smiling and professional.
Thank you all for everything!!!

You can start with the obvious, that Club Med Finolhu is situated in paradise. The scenery is stunning.

I was booked to stay in an over the water sunset villa from June 23 through July 1.
I extended my trip until July 4. This review explains why.

I can go on forever about the beauty of Finolhu and nearby Kani (the other club med property you have access to on multiple shuttles per day—about a 6 minute journey). But I’d rather talk about the other high points of the resort.

The property is in spectacular shape and its gardens beautiful. The island pool and bar area is large and well appointed. The beach nearby is visible from the pool, deck, and bar. The rooms are spacious with modern conveniences and in top shape. The staff keep the island public areas and the rooms spotless.

The staff is perhaps the high point of the resort. Every staff member of every vocation is friendly and greets you when they see you. They are eager to make sure your stay is everything you dream it would be. The bar staff mix good cocktails and are happy to satisfy off menu requests. The restaurant staff is very attentive, learn your preferences, and are always happy to ensure you enjoy your meal. The food, from breakfast to dinner and all of the food services offered at the bar and special places on the island as treats, is top notch. There is great variety in the food served and it is very good. Indeed, the chef, cooks, and restaurant staff are happy to accommodate you and even surprise you at times. As an American on the island on July 4, I was surprised with an Independence Day greeting in my villa and the chef prepared me hamburger and fries for July 4, and themed desserts too! It was a special touch.

The staff also put on fun special events throughout your stay. They keep the island guests busy (if you want) with fun social events. The staff has an energy and enthusiasm that elevates your stay here.

The butler services take some getting used to—but it’s a nice touch and very useful in helping you get the most out of your experience.

The excursions available to you are absolutely worth it. I did jet skiing twice, because it was a blast, and also did the snorkeling with nurse sharks, and deep ocean fishing. It was all so much fun and worth it. The excursions staff, called Discovery, is a third party that works with Club Med. They are friendly and very easy to work with. And like the club med staff they have an enthusiasm that heightens every experience.

I did do one massage at the Spa and it was very good. The spa overlooks the clear and blue waters. The best massage location I’ve experienced.

Finally, I would point out that all of the G.Os were so gracious and kind. And the GM/village chief, Marguerite was a pleasure to chat with and to learn from, and it’s obvious she and the staff work very hard to deliver the incredible experience that I enthusiastically recommend.

Such an amazing experience, not only are the views breathtaking, the facilities are well maintained, the food was amazing and top it all off, the staff really make your experience. Thanks especially to our butler Tatiana, Sola from the restaurant, Iru & Adam from the activity team. Every staff member truly added to our amazing holiday!
