This holiday was everything we dreamed it would be. The island was beautifully set out and the staff were always attentive and friendly, especially our host Aboo, food and beverage manager Arres and his team including Hunni, Ammy and Akmaral who always made us feel special at meal times. Villa attendant Mode kept our villa spotless and well stocked. The atmosphere was very tranquil but there were plenty of activities on offer if you wanted them. The choice of restaurants, food and drink was absolutely outstanding. The snorkelling was amazing directly from the beach and from the jetty straight onto the house reef said to be one of the best in the Maldives. We would definitely recommend this resort and intend to return as soon as possible.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon at Emerald Faarufushi Maldives! ❤️🌺
We had the most wonderful honeymoon stay at Emerald Faarufushi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from beginning to end.
The resort is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by breathtaking turquoise waters, stunning natural scenery, and an incredible house reef. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, and we loved exploring the beautiful underwater world.
We had the pleasure of staying in two lovely villas, both of which made our holiday even more special. The food throughout our stay was amazing, with delicious choices and wonderful dining experiences.
A special mention goes to our lovely host, Aboo, who made our honeymoon truly memorable. His hospitality, genuine kindness, warm smile, and attention to every little detail were exceptional. He took such wonderful care of us and always made sure we were comfortable and happy. We absolutely loved having him as our host, and he made us feel so special throughout our stay.
Everything was beyond our expectations, and we honestly have no complaints. Every moment was beautiful, and we are leaving with wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.
Thank you to the entire Emerald Faarufushi team for making our honeymoon so magical, and a very special thank you to Aboo for being such an amazing host.
Highly recommended! We would love to return to this little paradise again. ❤️
With love and gratitude! 🌴🥂

A wonderful honeymoon at Emerald Faarufushi, made even more special by the care and attention of our butler, Tharif.

My wife and I stayed at Emerald Faarufushi for our honeymoon, and it was a very special way to celebrate the beginning of our married life. Spending this time together in the Maldives is something we’ll remember for years to come, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make our stay a happy one.
We would especially like to recognise our butler, Tharif. Having someone looking after us personally made the experience feel much more welcoming, and we really appreciated the care and attention he gave us throughout our stay. On a trip as meaningful as a honeymoon, those personal interactions become an important part of the memories you take home.
Tharif deserves a special mention because, beyond the hotel itself, it’s the people who help make a holiday memorable. We appreciated having him as our point of contact and knowing that we could turn to him during our time on the island. Thank you, Tharif, for being part of our honeymoon and for helping us feel looked after.
We’re leaving Emerald Faarufushi with lovely memories of our first trip as husband and wife. Thank you to Tharif and the team for sharing in such a special occasion with us. We would love to have the opportunity to return in the future.

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!

Unadulterated Bliss

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.
