We stayed at Emerald Faarufushi for our honeymoon, and honestly… we’re not sure how we’re supposed to go back to normal life. From the moment we arrived, everything was incredible. We stayed in the overwater villa and it was beautiful. The food at the resort was absolutely amazing. Everything we had was genuinely delicious, with plenty of variety and something to look forward to at every meal. A special mention has to go to Chef Moreno, who was fantastic. Not only was the food excellent, but his hospitality and personality really stood out. He always made us feel welcome and was a pleasure to speak to. Special note to the sommelier Vaibhav who always proposed great wines. The bar staff were brilliant, especially Sundara Raman and Lakmal. They were always friendly, attentive and happy to have a chat. I was impressed by all of their cocktails, Lakmal's bloody marys were fantastic and I wasn't expecting Sundara's perfect caipirinha on this side of the planet. Our housekeeping was also fantastic. Irman did a great job and our villa was always spotless and beautifully looked after. The crew at the dive centre were also great, special thank you to Roberto for taking great care of us. And a huge thank you to our villa host, Zaul, who was fantastic throughout our stay. He was always available whenever we needed anything. He made everything incredibly easy and stress-free, which is exactly what you want on a honeymoon. But more than anything, it was the people that made Emerald Faarufushi so special. Everyone we met was friendly, welcoming and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay memorable. Special thanks to the management team, Mr Patrick and Rao, who were incredibly attentive and friendly during our stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our honeymoon so special. We absolutely loved it and will hopefully come back! Read less

I wouldn't even know where to start describing this paradise...

I wouldn't even know where to start describing this paradise... I could talk about the island's beauty—its crystal-clear waters, white beach, and lush vegetation—or the stunning villas, whether set on the beach or over the ocean. Perhaps I should mention the staff—friendly, professional, and impeccable—especially Head Chef Moreno, with his warmth and mastery, always ready to recommend the best choices from the myriad of delicious dishes available; or Roberto, who guided us in exploring the ocean with care and passion. Finally, it is impossible not to mention Apekcha, our guardian angel, always ready to fulfill our every request and guide us through the wonders of this magnificent resort... the truth is, this place is paradise!
