Stunning island …….Stunning wildlife…………amazing place!

One word ……. STUNNING!!
The staff were friendly and always on hand for anything you needed. The back bungalow was 5 metres from a beautiful small beach which lead onto the house reef where any number of marine wildlife could be found. To have reef sharks swimming around your feet whilst paddling was a hell of an experience.

The staff were friendly and always on hand for anything you needed. The back bungalow was 5 metres from a beautiful small beach which lead onto the house reef where any number of marine wildlife could be found. To have reef sharks swimming around your feet whilst paddling was a hell of an experience.
The Stingray City tour was less Stingray and more Nurse Shark which was even more of a breathtaking experience, particularly as you can often see the rays around the boat jetty.
Food was varied and great quality.
Thank you to all who made our week a holiday of a lifetime

From the moment i walked along the jetty the world just fell away and was replaced by a fantastic week in paradise.
Firstly, the food. The exec chef clearly delights in producing an abundance of flavours and freshness which never ceased to amaze, surprise and delight me at every meal. His face is great as he watches everyone tuck in. And the desserts.... i dont eat dessert, but here i couldnt stop, they were outstanding.
The service is unlike anywhere i've ever been. It doesnt feel transactional it feels relaxed, kind and friendly. A really well led group of people who are welcoming you to the "village". They got my email about a water villa upgrade and that helped to make my week.
Watching the coral life from the balcony, the sharks and every kind of fish was mesmerising. And just a short walk takes you around the island. Its so easy to forget anyone else is there. So peaceful.
Stick your head underwater and its even more mesmerising. This is a snorkelling paradise on your doorstep. And you can always find a bit of beach to yourself if you want to.
The bar service was fantastic, overlooking the amazing sunsets.
The other guests were all relaxed and friendly and this was truly a perfect holiday.
I'm back a week and I'm still relaxed. Saving up for next year. Thank you everyone at Embudu Village.

Dream vacation

The vacation felt like a dream. The nature there is incredible – we saw baby sharks right from our balcony and on the beach. There were so many types of fish and coral, all visible just by snorkeling in shallow water, no need to go deep.
The staff were incredibly friendly and always attentive, making sure we had everything we wanted. The food was amazing with a wide variety to choose from. If you enjoy trying different dishes and love cocktails, I highly recommend going all-inclusive.
I recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it, but don’t worry if you don’t – you can rent everything there, even a GoPro.
There’s no need to pack many shoes, as you’ll hardly wear them. Sand covers the entire island, and you’ll mostly be barefoot the whole time.

Amazing and great experience , Embudu Village is like a heaven in the earth, absolutely stunning hospitality, all staff were extremely polite and helpful in anything we needed and with 100% caring.
All the dishes are awesome, tasty and especially their theme nights are in international standards. The restaurant was superb, evening entertainment was on top of the world. Room was very clean and tidy.
Last three nights of our holiday were upgraded to water bungalows courtesy of the General manager, wow view was spectacular and splendid from the water villas. please experience at least one night in those water bungalows which are very beautiful and you will never forget the romantic atmosphere. Â
Thank you Didi, Dennis and Darshana for making our stay so much an unforgettable memory.
No words to say Embudu Village is a great resort, we will surely repeat this location and anyone can choose those who like to experience a friendly, relaxing and romantic atmosphere..

We enjoyed staying here last March and decided to return during the south west monsoon, to possibly see some different species underwater. The resort did not disappoint; friendly staff, plentiful buffets and comfortable bungalow. The weather was nice, some rain during some evenings. The water visibility was good around the house reef. We took some boat trips for snorkelling; quite a bit of plankton as expected at this time of year; this gave us close up views of Manta Rays feeding at the surface; Magical!
