The new eco-chic lifestyle island resort, Eri Maldives, has opened in the North Malé Atoll, redefining accessible island living in the Maldives.

Just 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the resort blends easy travel with the seclusion of a natural island.

Built around the philosophy of “The Island of Becoming,” the resort emphasises genuine cultural immersion over scripted hospitality.

Accommodation is offered across four categories: Beach Pool Villas with private pools, Beach Villas with direct shore access and sunset views, ground-floor Beach Studios close to the sand, and Sky Studios featuring private balconies overlooking the lagoon.

Dining is equally relaxed and flexible, with Full Board Plus and All-Inclusive options across Soul Kitchen, the Beach Shack, and Sip & Dip.

Experiences range from world-class diving with a 5-star PADI centre to holistic spa rituals at Eskape Spa, alongside celebrations such as destination dining and traditional Maldivian vow renewals.

“Eri is a philosophy of authentically and simply experiencing the Maldives and living well,” said Haroon Mohamed, General Manager of Eri Maldives. “Our goal is to create moments that make guests feel cared for, understood, and transformed. We look forward to welcoming travellers from around the world to experience our unique blend of simplicity, connection, and authentic Maldivian spirit.”

Frederic Brohez, Chief Operating Officer of Pulse Hotels & Resorts, adds: “We are thrilled to expand our portfolio with Eri, an eco-chic lifestyle brand designed for the aware and eco-conscious traveller seeking an authentic Maldivian escape. Eri embodies our vision of sustainable island living - where design, community, and well-being come together in harmony.” -TradeArabia News Service
