A new eco-lifestyle resort, Eri Maldives, has commenced operations in the North Malé Atoll, establishing fresh standards for accessible island experiences in the Maldives. Positioned just 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the property merges convenient access with the serenity of an unspoiled island environment, delivering an instant retreat for guests prioritizing genuine experiences over manufactured opulence.
Nestled on a verdant natural island, Eri Maldives distinguishes itself through abundant tropical vegetation and a vibrant house reef reachable directly from the beach. The resort operates under the guiding principle “The Island of Becoming,” which eschews conventional hospitality formulas in favor of authentic cultural engagement. Traditional arts and indigenous cuisine form the foundation of daily life at the property, with Maldivian traditions integrated throughout the guest experience. This dedication to genuineness pairs with an emphasis on conscious living, establishing a haven where environmental responsibility and holistic wellness form integral elements of each stay—inviting visitors to disconnect from routine, embrace slower rhythms, and forge deeper connections with themselves, fellow travelers, and island traditions.
The resort presents four carefully conceived accommodation styles emphasizing relaxation, intimacy, and island simplicity. Beach Pool Villas offer private plunge pools enveloped by lush foliage, creating intimate hideaways. Beach Villas deliver unobstructed shoreline access with panoramic lagoon sunset perspectives. Ground-floor Beach Studios provide immediate sand access, while elevated Sky Studios showcase private terraces with expansive lagoon panoramas. This laid-back philosophy extends throughout the culinary program, with adaptable Full Board Plus and All-Inclusive packages spanning three dining venues: international selections at Soul Kitchen, relaxed waterfront options at Beach Shack, and evening refreshments at Sip & Dip.
Harmonizing exploration with rejuvenation, the property houses a 5-star PADI diving facility managed by Euro-Divers, granting access to over 30 acclaimed dive locations alongside extensive aquatic activity programming. For restorative experiences, Eskape Spa occupies a secluded enclave within the island’s tropical interior, presenting comprehensive treatments and marine-inspired therapies drawing from Maldivian healing traditions. The resort additionally orchestrates personalized celebrations, from illuminated beachfront dining occasions to traditional vow renewal ceremonies featuring authentic Bodu Beru percussion performances.
Speaking about the inauguration, Haroon Mohamed, General Manager of Eri Maldives, explained that the property centers on experiencing the Maldives in its most authentic and uncomplicated form, prioritizing meaningful living. He highlighted that the objective involves crafting experiences that ensure guests depart feeling nurtured, valued, and personally enriched.
Frederic Brohez, Chief Operating Officer of Pulse Hotels & Resorts, remarked that launching Eri Maldives represents a significant portfolio enhancement for the group, presenting an eco-conscious lifestyle concept tailored to sustainability-minded travelers desiring an authentic Maldivian journey. He stressed that Eri embodies the organization’s commitment to responsible island hospitality, where architecture, local engagement, and guest wellness coexist harmoniously.
Eri Maldives is currently accepting reservations. To celebrate its debut, the resort has unveiled a time-limited introductory package offering special rates and curated amenities. Complete information is accessible at www.erimaldives.com.
