My family and I visited for the second time, and it was just as amazing as the first .The service, the villa, the entertainment - everything was perfect. Our villa host, Sid, was very attentive and took great care of us. We especially enjoy our dinners in the asian restaurant, chef Sanjay's cooking is delicious. Can't wait to visit again!

From the moment we arrived by scenic seaplane, the crystal-clear turquoise waters and powdery white sands took our breath away. The overwater villa was a dream—spacious, luxurious, and with direct access to the vibrant coral reefs right from our deck. Waking up to sunrise over the Indian Ocean was pure bliss!

My family and I spent a wonderful 5 nights at Emerald Maldives after a fantastic, but very tiring 10 days exploring Sri Lanka. It was exactly what we all needed. From the moment we landed in Male, to the moment we left everything was done to make our stay as relaxing as possible. The quality of the resort is exceptional, the facilities are impressive and the staff were amazing from start to finish. We were greeted by Wisham, who looked after us throughout our stay, who showed us around the island and to the two villas we had booked. He had planned an itinerary for us, but made it clear we could change whatever we wanted. Wisham was available whenever we needed or wanted him, would always make a point of saying hello and asking if there was anything we needed, but also gave us space to enjoy our time on the island as we wanted. A small example of his responsiveness was that on the first night my young daughter was getting frustrated because she couldn't ride the bike at the villa because it was too big. I messaged and asked if there was a smaller one available and it was outside the kids villa before we had finished dinner, much to her delight. Emerald really is a very special place. It is exactly what I hoped and dreamed it would be and a large part of that is down to Wisham and the rest of the team there. Thank you for an amazing stay. Read less
