The Finolhu Villas Maldives

At the last minute I was looking for a place where I could just relax and everything would be taken care of. I found an all inclusive Club Med- Finolhu villas & Kani in Maldives. 
This is my first experience with Club Med. And I did not realise  I chose the best of the Club Med- Finolhu villas in Maldives . I have an over the water sunrise villa for 3 nights . It is spacious and comes with a small private pool that offers tranquility, privacy and stunning views.  The resort comes with a butler service. Gaya is my excellent butler. Her warm hospitality kept me accompanied the whole stay and made me feel so much at home even though I was there by myself. She introduced a number of GOs that become my temporary family in the resort 
I believe many other resorts in Maldives would have luxurious amenities, elaborate room features and  gourmet cuisine but the GOs is the Club Med key asset and the main Club Med spirit. Every GOs I encountered are delightful and friendly. The friendliness, sincerity and generosity of the GO made my stay at Club Med unforgettable, special and have a lot of sweet memories to take home.  Also I was moved that Marguerite, the village chief, just came to send me off when it was my last day at Finolhu resort. Also it was good to find Regad , the Kani chief of village to see us off on my last day at Kani resort
On this trip, I stayed 3 nights at Finolhu resort and 2 nights at Kani resort. I recommend staying at these two resorts at the same time to have a great Club Med experience.   Butler service is the core service of Finolhu resort that I enjoyed the most and make me want to go back if I have time.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my Butler Gaya especially for her thoughtfulness and caring. Also I want to thanks my other fellow GO's friends: Love (lovely and fun Yoga instructor), Nita, Celene (very cheerful snorkeling instructor) , Madoo and Shuwau ( The sailing instructors who are kind and patience with me because I went to them also everyday ), Huzam , Xoli, Hatab, Morita , Budi, Yoe etc.  Hope one day I will meet up with them again.

Wow—Club Med Finolhu is pure paradise. This is luxury at its finest and a very different vibe from the usual Club Med experience. The resort is quiet, peaceful, and utterly tranquil. Whether overwater or beachfront, the villas are five-star-plus—among the most luxurious we’ve ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in some incredible hotels).

From the moment we arrived, greeted by the general manager and our butler Tara, we knew we were in for something special. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and Tara struck the perfect balance—always there when we needed her, yet giving us space to enjoy our holiday. Her warm, gentle personality made her a joy to have as part of our stay.

I was also struck by the energy of the team and their exquisite service—clearly led from the top. It was inspiring to see how engaged the manager was, with her team as well as the guests, creating a vibrant, warm and welcoming atmosphere through the whole resort.

Everything here is top-tier—the snorkelling, the attentive service, and all the thoughtful touches. Water yoga with Love on paddle boards was an unforgettable twist on yoga in paradise. Dining was another highlight, especially in the restaurant with its glass floor, keeping us connected to the vibrant marine life below.

Finolhu is truly something special. We split our holiday between Club Med Kani and Club Med Finolhu, which for us as a family was the perfect combination. We loved, loved, loved our trip.

We had a very pleasant stay at Club Med Finolhu. As loyal Club Med guests for many years, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms and especially the food. Having a dedicated butler truly personalizes the experience and makes the stay even more idyllic. We came in search of peace and quiet, and that’s exactly what we found. Children are only allowed from age 8 and up, which helps keep the atmosphere calm. That said, if my children were still young, I would have chosen Club Med Kani instead, which is just a 5-minute boat ride away! At Kani, everything is designed to make sure children have the holiday of their dreams. We’ve only just returned and we’re already thinking about our next stay at Finolhu! The added bonus of both resorts is their location only a 30-minute speedboat ride from the airport!"

It was a truly great visit! Not only is the place and resort absolutely stunning, the staff is welcoming, kind and professional.

Love, the yoga instructor, is kind, gracious and gentle.
Mosey and Adam, life guards/snorkelling guides, are funny, kind and generous.
The staff at the bar and restaurant (in particular Rasel en Sumon) accommodated us perfectly, anticipating our needs/wants while remaining polite :)
There were many activities, well-organised and each fun in their own way (from snorkelling and scuba diving to yoga and meditation to cooking classes) so they could suit many different types of people.
I went scuba diving with the instructor Matt, who was calm, organised, sensible and had fun with us while remaining professional. His English is also very good!
All in all, it was a very positive experience, a place with beautiful views and beautiful people where it seems impossible to ever be bored.

Yoga classes are great, the teacher, Love is professional, creative, gentle and friendly. We leave inspired to continue meditation, yoga and Pilates at home.

Scuba diving with Matt is fabulous, he is secure, professional, friendly and passionate about his work. The ocean is stunning. And so is the snorkeling, amazing, Adam, Mosley and the rest of the team are super friendly and know so much about wildlife.

The staff at the bar and the restaurant is very very nice and friendly, they are thoughtful because they remember what you like, so they anticipate when one arrives.

The chef, the food, the restaurant is amazing, especially lunch.

The resort is managed by a friendly, professional young woman called Marguerite.
