We had an amazing holiday at Emerald Faarufushi in July 2026. The island is beautiful with lots to do for a family of four with 2 teenagers.
The staff were incredible.
My son has some food allergies do Sameera the exec sous chef made him a bespoke meal 3 times a day. He is an incredible man and chef.
His assistant in the Aqua restaurant who made a lot of the meals was also really good. I forgot his name.
Our villa host Zaul was incredibly helpful and always there to help us.
Our room (109) attendant Naveen was truly amazing. He couldn’t do enough for us. He made incredible designs for us on our beds with leaves. A real gem.
The food was outstanding on the island
Other staff who were incredible were Donny (chef) Adel, Joseph (sommelier), Ammy and the guys at the water sports centre were so helpful.
Special mention to Vlad and Jast in the Dive centre who took us all Scuba diving for the first time.
An astonishing island.
