We are a couple from Korea on our honeymoon. We chose to visit Faarufushi Maldives after considering many resorts because we heard the lagoon here was especially beautiful.
Our guide, Apekcha, was truly wonderful. She was incredibly kind, and the itinerary she prepared for us was perfect and made our trip even more special. Thanks to her and this amazing resort, we would absolutely love to visit again someday. Even though we are only newly married now, we already hope to return before we have our third child.
Also, the scuba diving guide was incredibly kind, professional, and patient. Even as beginners, we felt comfortable because he taught us so well and made everything easy to understand. We are truly grateful to him. The diving experience was absolutely amazing, unforgettable, and one of the most fantastic experiences we have ever had.
We are so sad to leave this paradise. We honestly do not want to go back to Korea.
The five days we spent at Faarufushi were one of the best experiences of our lives.

The room cleaning service was also excellent every day, and everything was kept incredibly clean. Whenever we visited the restaurants, the staff constantly checked if we needed anything and greeted us with warm smiles, which made us feel very happy and welcomed.
During our honeymoon dinner, Sajanie took care of us, and she was so kind and helpful with everything that we were able to enjoy a truly memorable and happy honeymoon dinner.
Looking back, I feel that choosing Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa was one of the best decisions we made, and thanks to everyone there, we were able to have such a happy honeymoon.
A very special thank you to Apekcha for always helping us with such a bright and positive smile!
