Real paradise

Nov 5, 2026 vikavost Rome, Italy

Since I was 10 years old I’d been dreaming to visit Maldives. So the choice of the location and hotel was important for me as I didn’t want to ruin my experience. I may confidently say that this hotel is a paradise. I came here with my mum and we both were thrilled with our stay. The host Eldor was helpful from the start until our departure. All the issues were solved within 5 minutes, the staff was really friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and mouth-watering. The buffet overwhelmed all our expectations, especially the dinner with seafood. Every day we enjoyed new restaurants with different cuisines and we were totally in love with the hospitality of the staff and their will to help you in any questions. I should mention diving centre activities that I also happened to experience. First, it was a swimming with manta rays and turtles and then I decided to try diving. The hotel has a Russian speaking instructor Alexander who was very professional and gave me all the instructions, help and support that I needed, especially under water where it was scary to dive the first time in my life. During our stay we lived 3 days on the beach villa and 3 days on the water villa. My mum enjoyed more the first option (as she can’t swim) while I was more impressed by the second one because I love snorkelling. You can snorkel right from the villa and see all kind of fish. I saw a shark and a turtle swimming past me. Amazing! The rooms are cleaned twice a day, all the time it’s tidy. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this wonderful place, you won’t regret!

Just pure unadulterated bliss. Amazing staff, menus and accommodation. The service is the best we've experienced in the Maldives. Not pretentious or forced - just meaningful and honest.

A wonderful holiday – excellent food and people we will remember

Nov 1, 2026 Stefan W

We stayed at Emerald Faarufushi with our two teenage daughters and had a wonderful holiday. What we will remember most is the location of our beautiful villas, the excellent food and the lovely people who looked after us so well. The two beach villas with private pools worked perfectly for us. We were right next door to each other, so it was easy to spend time together, but everyone still had their own space and privacy. We also loved the view from our stretch of beach, with no breakwaters directly in sight. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The food was excellent throughout our stay. I honestly didn’t eat a single thing that I didn’t like. The quality of the ingredients and the taste were exceptionally good, and there was plenty of variety. We especially enjoyed Mediterraneo. Sitting right over the sea was lovely, and the food was just as impressive as the setting. Another highlight was the Teppanyaki cooking show. The chef was funny, did some juggling and answered our questions about the dishes during the show. It was more than just a performance – it was a really lovely evening, and the food was heavenly. The Asian restaurant was my least favourite, but our daughters liked it best. So we each had our own favourite! What made the stay special was how friendly everyone was. Wherever we went on the island, people greeted us with a smile – whether we were in a restaurant or walking past the gardeners at work. The service was incredibly attentive. We would like to mention a few people in particular. Zaul was always there when we needed him and took care of our bookings. Naveen took such good care of our villas and even recovered some lost jewellery for us. We are especially grateful to him for that. With Nish, we often got a funny story along with our drinks. Prabuddha kept surprising us with his language skills, and Yasir sometimes seemed to know what we wanted before we did. ;-) We really enjoyed these little moments. A very special thank you also goes to the two ladies who gave us the Signature Treatment at the spa. For me, it was honestly the best massage I have ever had. We really enjoyed our time. The villas and the island were beautiful, the food was excellent, and the warmth of the team made this holiday something special for us. A big thank you to everyone who was part of it! Read less

Fabulous resort

Oct 27, 2026 Joanna M

We have had the most amazing time at Emerald Faarufushi resort and are very sad to have left today. The island is stunning and has a fabulous house reef, we were lucky to see so many fish every day. We stayed in an overwater villa on the sunrise side and the snorkelling from our villa was brilliant. It was very windy when we were there and the sunrise side definitely seemed a little calmer and more protected from the wind vs the sunset side. The food at resort is excellent, Chef Fernandez and his team go out of their way to make sure you are happy and even offer to cook your favourite dish. Our favourite of all the restaurants was Mediterraneo, the lobster soup was stunning and my husband and son loved the beef. Khalid runs the restaurant so well and always seems to put his guests 1st. What makes the resort so so special are the amazing team of champions. There are so many amazing people we spoke with and they all greeted us every day with hellos and smiles- biggest smile goes to Aboo. If you’re looking for help with photos at Eclipse bar then Lalith is your man, he has hints and tips to get the best photo. Our room was always spotless and well looked after by Imaadh, he was very sweet and was very creative with towel designs. Our biggest thanks has to go to our Villa host Tharif, he really is a shining star and an asset to the resort. He came to see us every day to ask how our day was, sent messages every morning to remind us / confirm our bookings. Any issues were fixed and sorted in an instant. He was a true gentlemen and we are so thankful for all he did in making our stay so memorable. Thank you to everyone at the emerald, you really are the champions! Read less
