If there is a PARADISE on Earth, it is right here in Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa

We have just returned from a wonderful vacation, a wonderful island, a wonderful hotel.
I will briefly write about the hotel

We have just returned from a wonderful vacation, a wonderful island, a wonderful hotel.
I will briefly write about the hotel
1. Location - 45 minutes by seaplane from Male. It is not close, but the road passes quickly
2. The size of the island is small. The radius along the beach is 910 meters. If on the road with calls to all piers and landings - 2.5 km
3. The villas are wonderful. They have everything you need. We lived both on the water and on the beach with a pool and on the beach without a pool. Even if for some reason you forgot to take shampoos, toothbrushes, pastes, after-tan cream and other related things, don't worry, everything is here. Cleaning at least once a day or simply on request. The bar is replenished every day. And the bar is very decent: about five bottles of wine, sweets, beer, various sweet carbonated drinks
4. Nutrition.
There are several restaurants. Everything is incredibly tasty. Very tasty. Seafood, beef and other things - everything is prepared with love, so every meal was a culinary holiday, and the dishes were MASTERPIECES.
One restaurant - with a buffet table, others by order. Our child (13 years old) was comfortable in the Aqua restaurant with a buffet table, but in others they also went to her for a meeting about food (because she is very picky) and fulfilled all her wishes.
5. The staff! You can write about the staff on the island separately and for a long time. They are all very caring and take care of you at every step.. Everyone greets you, asks how you are doing, if everything is okay. Everyone is very, very customer oriented.
Special thanks to our Faheem, who was our assistant and companion for ALL, without exception, questions related to our vacation. Thanks to him, we spent our vacation and felt even better than at home. His care, attention, care, sensitivity, promptness in providing answers to our inquiries - WITHOUT ANY remarks.
Thank you, Faheem, and an infinite number of such "thank yous".
6. The ocean and the beach are wonderful! There are no high ocean waves. The role of breakwaters is performed by embankments made of stones, which have become a home for many marine inhabitants, and near them there is interesting snorkeling. The home reef is nothing, but it is noisy from other tourists who have seen and are richer
We are in the Maldives for the first time, so there is no need
to compare with.
If you compare with Egypt, there are more bright / colorful reefs and fish than in the Maldives. But here we saw stingrays, baby sharks, turtles
White sand, transparent blue water, palm trees - everything is there and everything, as in the Bounty advertisement, the photos turn out great
7. Activities.
The gym is small, but nice and new (in fact, like the hotel itself) and it has enough of all the necessary sports equipment and supplies. Diving club, please. Ride on free bikes, floats, please
8. SPA - we didn't use it, so I can't comment on it
To summarize.
OUR FAMILY DID NOT WANT
to go home. I wanted the holiday in paradise (the only way to call your stay in this hotel) to continue
We will definitely be back.
I recommend spending vacations here to all connoisseurs of excellent, high-quality, top-class recreation
Emerald Faarufushi Resort&Spa - YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!
Thank you!!!
Always yours!
Tatiana, Serhii, Anya!

Emerald is a great accommodation option when visiting the Maldives
Jan 8, 2025Paulo R
Our stay at Emerald was incredible. We were well looked after by the entire team. Everyone, without exception, was very friendly and competent. The beach is great and clean, and you can go snorkeling and spot fish very easily. The room is great and so are the general facilities of the hotel.
Spectacular!

What an incredible stay at Emerald Faarufushi resort and Spa. The heart of this magnificent resort is the staff who go above and beyond to make your stay pleasurable and memorable. They are warm, friendly and incredibly efficient.
We travelled as a family of four and stayed in a fabulous family beach villa with pool. The spacious villa was kept to high standard thought our stay.
There was more than enough to do to keep my older teen and young adult sons entertained. We did the pool HITT classes (a highlight), cocktail and sushi making, wine tasting, padel, snorkelling, a fishing trip, motorised water sports and kayaking.
Every meal was delicious and the variety of food was plentiful. The waiters and chefs were engaging and treated us to a few special personal dishes.
The app is a fantastic way of making restaurant reservations and managing your activities. What could not be done on the app was taken care of by our wonderful villa hosts.
A perfect holiday!
