Fabulous resort

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!

Our stay at Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we landed in the Maldives to the moment we left, the logistics and transfer arrangements were completely seamless and stress-free, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second of our trip.
A very special shout-out to our villa host, Aboo, who was super helpful, attentive, and constantly checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed.
Food, Drinks & Dining:
The culinary experience was fabulous across the board! The Beach Club and the Mediterranean restaurant were absolute standouts—delicious dishes, gorgeous ambiance, and superb presentation.
We also want to give special praise to the wonderful staff members who took such great care of us:
Ezahan at Le Asiatique for fantastic service.
Hanto at the Beach Club for keeping the vibe great and always looking after us.
Sundar at Eclipse Bar for excellent drinks and warm hospitality.
Staff & Service:
The entire team embodies genuine hospitality. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and always happy to serve. They constantly checked if we needed any assistance, making us feel truly pampered.
Spa & Wellness:
The Emerald Spa is superb and an absolute must-try! The treatment rooms are fabulous, and the massage was exceptionally relaxing and professional.
Overall Impression:
Even though the weather was a bit unstable during our stay—and it was a bit of a pity that it was too windy to go kayaking—the resort team made sure our experience remained magical. We enjoyed every single moment.
Thank you to the entire team at Emerald Faarufushi for making our stay so memorable. We can't wait to return!
