    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 🩷

    Nothing to dislike.

    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!

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

    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.

    I cant think of one aingle thing they can improve.

    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 🫶

    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.

    Our stay was too short 😔

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
