Empyrean Stay, Maldives

Empyrean Stay è una Guest House dove l'accoglienza e l'ospitalità non mancano. Ci siamo trovati molto bene, la stanza era estremamente pulita ed abbiamo apprezzato molto lo staff per averci permesso di vedere gli squali nutrice organizzandoci, prima una camminata sul molo per vederli con le torce, e poi un escursione guidata per nuotarci insieme. La posizione dalla bikini beach è ottima (3 Min a piedi) ed è vicina ai migliori ristoranti dell'isola. Nel complesso un ottima esperienza, da rifare!!

Wielka uprzejmość obsługi i troska o klientów.

Nie ma.

Absey und sein Team waren sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und engagiert und haben sich immer wieder erkundigt, ob wir etwas brauchen und ob alles passt. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber, das Bett war bequem und die Klimaanlage läuft ruhig. Vielen Dank 😊!

Fantastic people and great service in everything we needed… I have no words! PS: internet is very good in case you need to work there :)

Empyren is super quiet and warm like you are at a relatives house. Very helpful staff. Great hospitality. Beds are better than the plywood ones at Surf Trip. Very clean otherwise. There is a safe in room. No water pump noises but can hear people snoring next door.

Room 202 empyrean smells terrible Toilet is let down. There are narrow stairs if you have a problem going up and down. Room 202 has bathroom issues. The sink and drainage was clogged from day 1 and giant cockroach in there which they got rid off and then the blockage started to smell. Room 204 had giant ants but they went out on their own after a few hours. Slow drainage showers.

Grundsätzlich hat alles gepasst. Das gesamte Team ist sehr nett und bemüht. Man wird bei der Buchung von Transport und Ausflügen unterstützt. Eine Inseltour gibt es auch noch dazu.

I had a really great stay at Thulusdhoo. The hosts were incredibly kind and helped us organize our activities. The room was clean, comfortable, and the location was very close to the beach, restaurants and shops—you can reach everything on the island by foot. I would definitely go back there anytime!

Very. friendly people at the hotel. They organised everything for us. We really enjoyed the stay.

Amazing stay in Thulusdoo! The staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. They organised trips and even took us on an evening walk around the island. The rooms were spotless and cleaned each day. I couldn’t recommend this guest house enough ☺️

We stayed at Empyrean Stay Thulusdhoo and it was a complete success. It truly felt like a gift to have this experience, and we felt at home from the very first moment. The facilities are excellent, and Novi’s hospitality and generosity made us fall in love with every corner of the island. Special thanks as well to Sinbat for all the recommendations, which made our stay even more special. We hope to come back soon! ✨

La camera era molto spaziosa e pulita, e il letto comodo! La posizione molto vicina alla spiaggia e ai ristoranti Novi e Sinbat sono stati incredibilmente gentili e disponibili, abbiamo passato dei giorni meravigliosi Ci hanno aiutato ad organizzare le attività e ci han portato a fare un giro di esplorazione dell’isola! Torneremo!

Fantastic people and great place where to stay. The atmosphere that the staff creates is amazing. Warmly recommended

I had a great stay. Wandered around and enjoyed the island life. Took a night walk with the hosts who were very friendly and attentive. They picked me up and returned me to the ferry. I was able to use one of their snorkels and mask. The shower was excellent and bed was very comfortable. I had a great stay. Thank you!

There was construction going on all through the day and doors slamming early in the morning. The construction crew were loud and abrasive. The door slamming has to do with the way the door lock mechanism is set up. The ferry brought me to island very early and wasn't able to check into my room until much later.

Właściciele i obsługa. Bardzo ciepli, życzliwi, opiekuńczy. Właścicielka Novi pomaga we wszystkim i cały czas dba o Wasz komfort. Bliskość do plaży bikini i restauracji. Miejsce do siedzenia przed budynkiem. Nie każdy pensjonat ma takie zaplecze. Budynek jest w cichym miejscu

Jeśli ktoś lubi spać długo to obok jest budowa i słychać prace budowlane. Nam to nie przeszkadzało

A truly wonderful stay from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully maintained, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. What really makes the difference is the staff — genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making you feel cared for at every moment. Every detail reflects professionalism and thoughtfulness, creating an experience that is both relaxing and memorable. I would gladly return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, accommodating, and genuinely pleasant place to stay.

La calidez y la bienvenida, todo organizado desde el inicio, facilidades de todo tipo, nuestro agradecimiento a Sinbat y Novi por su profesionalidad y ayuda en todo, un abrazo desde Barcelona.

Nada

Tutto! Super carini e ospitali. La signora ci ha fatto vedere l’isola e dato tutte le info. Consigliato assolutamente

La ubicación es muy buena, esta muy limpio, personal muy atento!

Hotellet var prisvärt och du fick absolut vad du betalade för. Superfräscha rum och läget var utmärkt, bara 1 minut till superfin bikini beach. Hotellpersonalen var dom finaste, snällaste människorna vi har träffat, och dom kändes som vår lilla familj när vi åkte hem. Dom visade oss runt på ön, lät oss testa lokala frukter och bär och var med och spelade kort på kvällarna. Det vi tar med oss från vistelsen är hur omhändertagna vi kände oss, all hjälp vi fick och hur mycket dom fick oss att känna oss som hemma. Om jag någon gång åker tillbaka till Thulusdhoo kommer jag alla gånger bo på samma ställe. Det var fantastiskt.

Very friendly staff. Clean comfortable new guest house

It was a little further from a swimming beach than I expected

-Clean & comfortable -Warm welcoming and attentive staff - a few minuets walk to the beautiful beaches and there are several restaurants near the hotel." -fast wi-fi

We had the most unforgettable stay at this beautiful hotel in the Thulusdhoo Maldives, but what truly made it special were the owners. Absy (The Mayor) and Novi (FBI: always keeping an eye out for us and making sure everything was perfect) welcomed us like family from the very first day. We shared evenings together with barbecues and fun karaoke nights, creating memories that we will treasure forever. What stood out the most was their kindness and genuine care. Whenever we had a problem, they were always ready with a solution, making everything so easy and stress-free. Towards the end of our trip, I unfortunately fell ill, and they immediately stepped in with help and support, showing a level of care you rarely find, even among close friends. This was not just a vacation — it was an experience of warmth, hospitality, and friendship. We left with full hearts and new “family” in the Maldives. Highly recommended to anyone looking not just for a place to stay, but for a home away from home.

There is no drawback.

We had such a wonderful stay here! The location is great, close to everything (though to be fair, the island isn’t that big, which makes it even easier). Our room was just what we needed: clean, comfortable, and with excellent air conditioning. What truly made this stay special were the people. Novi, the owner, together with Sinbat and Santos, went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome and cared for. Nothing was ever too much to ask – they were always there to help, to guide us, and to make sure we had the best time. They even took us along and organized everything for us, which made our experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for their kindness and hospitality, and we want to say a huge thank you to Novi, Sinbat, and Santos for making our time here so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

Nothing

De mensen van Empyrian stay zijn echt zo hartelijk! Novi, Absy, ‘de burgemeester van Thulusdhoo’, Sinbat en Santosh hebben ons ontvangen alsof we familie zijn. Ze maken een heerlijk Maldivisch ontbijt en zijn bereid om met alles te helpen. Onze zoon was jarig tijdens ons verblijf. Ze regelden een heerlijke taart, zijn bed was prachtig versierd met blaadjes! Ze geven met veel plezier een rondleiding over het eiland waarbij we meteen op de eerste avond al vanaf het land haaien zagen. Ook hebben we gevoetbald met de locals wat erg leuk was. Dit was de fijnste plek van onze rondreis en we waren verdrietig om weg te gaan.

Novy és atenta i molt amable. Et pots sentir com a casa en tot moment.

Res

Awesome stay, the place was clean and the location was perfect. The staff was really friendly and helped in everything I asked for. If you have any questions or wanna book anything ask Novi, the manager, first. Also, the bed was comfy and you have space to put your surfboards in the yard, on a rack.

Everything is nice and organized very well

Novi was super nice. She did everything for me to stay conformable. I had such a great time with her. The island Thulusdhoo was also nice, it's a cute little island you can walk around anywhere within 10-15 minutes walk. The bikini beach is 3 minutes from the guest house. And the sunset beach that Novi took me in the evening was also so beautiful.

Nothing

Everything was perfect! Thank you Novi and this amazing team for your efforts, helping us in everything we needed (transfer, speedboat, experiences, restaurants…). This is the perfect spot for honeymoon, surf, dive our just relax.

Great location and friendly staff

Nothing

I booked for just few nights and then had to extend because everything was perfect ! Room was clean when I got there and everyday they will come and fill the water and clean a bit . Towels were changed every 2/3 days and same with the bed lining ! The host Novi was very helpful to organise the transfer from the airport (25$ )and also from the guest house to the ferry terminal (around 3$) . The communication run smoothly with what’s app and was always nice to chat a little when I would meet her . She also sends you info for snorkelling trips and what is going on ;) A huge thank to Sinbat that was always very friendly and would greet you with a huge smile every time ! Had very nice chit chat and got also recommendations where to eat /hang out from both of them ! I would definitely come back ! 💕 Thank you again for everything 🩷

The staff. The owner was very attentive via whatsapp even though he couldn't be there, his wife is lovely and very sweet and Simbad is incredibly helpful and always happy. They all speak great English and gave us all the recommendations for restaurants and excursions on the island. They made us feel very welcome.

Breakfast was a bit pricey - $6 for continental breakfast, which costs $4 in other cafes and it's exactly the same food. Pickup from the ferry port comes at a cost, which in other islands we found included in the hotel price. I worked remotely while there and the wifi wasn't as good as to have calls, so I had to use my phone data. Plus, I explicitly asked for a room with an outside window so that I could have some natural light while working, and they put us in a room with a window to the indoor staircase. They did say that it was because there was construction work in the front block, but the setting isn't ideal for digital nomads. The common area is incredibly hot without ac, and also serves as the food/entrance area, so not fit either.

It was a very clean property and close to the bikini beach on the island. Also the staff was wonderful before and during our trip, with recommendations and answering any questions.

Beautiful rooms, quality furnishings, super clean and the most kind, caring and accomodating staff.

The staff was very friendly, Sinbat helped me booking the speedboat and giving recommendation of the island. The rooms were clean and quite new. I defintly recommended

Our time at Empyrean Stay was perfect. All the staff were very friendly and helped out whenever we needed it as well as giving us a tour of Thulusdhoo on our first night. Our room was always very clean. Novi went above and beyond to help us, she showed us the available excursions every day that she also booked for us which saved a lot of hassle. We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough and hope we can go back in the future!

Nothing to dislike.

Novi, the owner is such a gem - within a few moments of booking the hotel, she reached out to to confirm my transfers and even came to pick me up from the boat. It really felt like a home away from home!

The only thing to be aware of is that all the rooms may not have windows - mine only had a window in the bathroom so I did not get much natural light, not a big issue for this stay as I was mostly out and about during the day.

Staff were super friendly and helpful, room was very clean and facilities were great and modern

Construction were taking place right next to our bedroom , which was super noisy and uncomfortable

Very friendly and helpful host, Novi was amazing with everything and ensured we were comfortable and all our needs were taken care of. Arranged excursions, transportation, good breakfasts, etc.

I guess TVs in the rooms would be nice for down times.

The host is so sweet and exceptional service and always available to help with anything required! I would go back even alone to go for morning and evening walks. Her excitement is contagious

The property was very clean and in a great location with great facilities, the owners were extremely kind and very warm and helpful in planning trips and showing me around the island , nothing was to much trouble for them , Novi, Absi , Simba and Santos were amazing and made my stay very joyful, incredible Hospitality. This is a beautiful Guest house and I would recommend it for all people , you will have the best time there for sure 👍🇲🇻👍

The perfect place home from home in the Maldives. A welcoming drink on arrival and great staff. The kindest hosts you can meet. I would 100% recommend to Stay at the Empyrean

Lovely place to stay on thulusdhoo. Family was lovely and the guy which met us off the boat (simba) was so friendly! Clean room with nice smell! And great AC. Defo reccomend

Novi and her team were amazing. Their hospitality was second to none. Novi invited us for a walk around Thulusdhoo, explaining local fruits and showing us places to eat and the pier where you could view sharks and rays. We were even treated to a freshly caught grilled fish for dinner one evening which was a real treat. I would recommend anyone looking for comfortable accommodation with everything you would need for your stay on Thulusdhoo whilst still being budget conscious to consider staying at Empyrean Stay.

Everything was exactly as we would have wanted it to be.

Everything was perfect starting with the exceptional customer service of Novi. Very professional,friendly and open :) She helped me with all informations I needed since I landed in Male until I left the island. I will definitely come back .

I stayed at few places and seen ever more on the Island during my stay. This one is the best by far. Its very new and well made. The materials are high quality. Location is great. Bed is very comfortable, and pillows as well. They provided 4 pillows. The bedsheets and pillows seem new. Nice and clean for aleeping! Everything was very clean, I felt like at home. No other places Iv stayed were this clean. The guys keep the room clean on my request, bring water and anything you like. Absy and Novi and the two guys take great care of you, make sure you have anything you need. The prepare any meal for you and its tasty. Further more the took care for me like family when I was sick for few days, even took me to the doctor two times! This is my favorite place to stay on the island! One big happy family 🫶

I cant think of one aingle thing they can improve.

Very welcoming, perfect stay.

The residence is located in a quiet street of the island, 1 mn away from the ocean and about 5 mn walk from the bikini beach. The communication with the owners is excellent and they arrange everything you need to arrive to their place from Male and also activities. The rooms are very modern, large enough and with anything you need. Just mind that some rooms have windows to the outside and some other to the corridor. The breakfast is good.

Lovely staff and comfy rooms. Highly recommend this place!

Ceiling fan was a bit loud

Novi is probably the nicest host I have ever had. We were looked after from reservation to departure, nothing was too much. She took us to the pier to see the stingrays and.sharks at night. She recommended restaurants and Santos fetched us from the speedboat.Apartment is modern and clean and has everything you need☺️ mini fridge kettle, tea and coffee Aircon and fan. Hand towel and bath towel. Breakfast was made with love and different everyday. I would definitely recommend and come back again. Short walk to bikini beach.

Our stay was too short 😔

Probably the nicest stuff i havr ever met in my entire life. The room was veru clean and tidy, and the breakfast was diversed. They even bought us some traditional snacks upon our arrival.

Very clean and great location, beds were super comfortable.

So kind, hardworking and helpful staff. The house and my room looked nice and were always clean. Breakfast was excellent and I could choose the time when to eat. Overall, it's a great place to stay if you choose Thulusdhoo for your next destination.

Those who are sensitive to noise, I recommend choosing another room in the same house as I could hear water pump work every time someone was using water, especially at night.

Novi and her husband were absolutely amazing hosts. - they were so welcoming and catered to our every need. The breakfast which we received every morning was delicious (we didn't even know it was included, so this wad a great bonus). They arranged our boat transfers to and from Mali airport, and picked us up from the port. They recommended restaurants, and excursions. They were only ever a text message away if you needed anything. The room was spotless, and provided everything you need! I would definitely stay at Empyrean stay again and would recommend it to anyone wanting an excellent place to stay in Thulusdhoo!

Nothing

Good rooms, FANTASTIC service, and priceworthy! I can highly recommend Empyrean Stay. The owners are super nice and will take well care of you. The breakfast is good, and you can ask for varieties!

We had a fantastic stay. The staff was lovely and served us well in all aspects. Breakfast was great and they also cooked fine Maldivian dinner for us.

Our room was first a bit moldy and had a very bad smell. But luckily our host made it possible to change the room.

Very clean, fresh and comfortable place. Silent area, close to the bikini beach - 1 minute by walk. Land lord is very syphatic and helpful person - he helped us with booking a speed boat, showed us best places to take the rest and eat delicious and cheap local food. We were impreses his kindness and helpfullness - in his hause we felt relaxed. My personal and overall rating is 10/10 - I recommend to everyone this place!

Nothing! Everything was great and professional :)

I would recommend this place to everyone who’s visiting Thulusdhoo. Very clean and beautiful rooms with friendly staffs. All the arrangements made by them were perfect. The owner of the place himself checks everything and makes sure that the guests are comfortable.

Such amazing stay in Thulusdhoo! The apartment was very modern and clean, and very close to the beach. I could choose a time for breakfast, which consisted of both salty and sweet food. The owner Absy was a very kind, helpful person, and the stuff was also very helpful when I wanted to get informed about the local prices of restaurants or water sport activities. There was a possibility to have a transfer from the port to the apartment, but I preferred walking. When I come back next time, surely will I stay in this apartment!

We decided to stay for one night on a local island and this was a good choice. The place is clean and quiet with tasty breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpful with everything. Sad to leave so soon. Thanks for a great trip!

The owner and his family was super nice and helpful.. nice room with balcony. Pretty good for a relaxing weekend.
