I cannot compliment them enough, everything was incredible!!!
Our host, Aslaan, looked after us so well all week, even moving us from one villa to another midweek to be closer to our family. He organised all our restaurant bookings and changed them multiple times to fit in with what we wanted
All the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much for them, we met and spoke to so many of them and they really are the stars of the resort
The food was incredible, with 5 restaurants on site you will not get hungry, and the cocktails were out of this world
Thank you for giving our family so many lasting memories

We had an wonderful five-day stay at Emerald Faarufushi. The ocean was beautiful and we were able to see so many fish not only at the house reef but even in front of our villa.
The villa was very clean and every staff member we met was extremely kind and welcoming.
And we joined both the sunset and sunrise yoga sessions. Listening to the sound of the wind and waves while practicing yoga was such a healing experience. (Thanks to Sonwal!)
-Nicole: She kindly answered all of our many questions and handled our reservations so smoothly. Thanks to her, our stay was comfortable.
-Diving Center: They kindly provided us with snorkels and we joined both the manta & turtle snorkeling tour and a scuba diving activity. Everyone guided us so well, and we really appreciated their care.
Especially — I forgot his name 😢 — but the staff member who led our snorkeling trip The video filmed by Go-pro was incredible! Thank you so much!

天堂般的度假体验——感谢管家Elite的完美服务
在翡翠法鲁富士岛的每一刻都令人难忘，这里不仅有令人窒息的自然美景，更有无微不至的贴心服务。特别要感谢我们的私人管家Elite，他用专业和热情让这次旅程变得完美无缺。
入住的水上别墅简直超乎想象——宽敞的空间、现代化的设计，最令人惊喜的是可以直接从露台跳入碧蓝的泻湖。每天清晨在私人泳池边享用早餐，看着渐变色的海水，这种体验千金难换。岛上的珊瑚礁近在咫尺，浮潜时邂逅了成群的彩色鱼群，宛如置身水族馆。
Elite的服务堪称完美。从入住时的详细介绍，到每天贴心的行程安排，他总能预判我们的需求。还细心地准备了蜜月香槟和漂浮早餐，他为我们预定的海豚之旅更是旅程的亮点，在印度洋的夕阳下追逐海豚的画面将永远珍藏。 …

Heavenly Holiday experience-- thanks to the housekeeper Elite for his perfect service
Every moment in Feicui Faru Fuji Island is unforgettable, there is not only suffocating natural beauty, but also meticulous and considerate service. Special thanks to our private butler, Elite, who made the trip perfect with his professionalism and enthusiasm.
The water villa is beyond imagination-spacious space, modern design, and the most surprising thing is that you can jump directly from the terrace into the blue lagoon. It's hard to change the experience of having breakfast by the private pool every morning and looking at the gradual water. The coral reef on the island is close at hand, and when snorkeling, we encounter schools of colorful fish, which is like being in an aquarium.
Elite's service is perfect. From the detailed introduction at the time of check-in to the thoughtful itinerary every day, he can always predict our needs. He also carefully prepared honeymoon champagne and floating breakfast, and the dolphin trip he booked for us was the highlight of the journey, and the picture of chasing dolphins in the sunset in the Indian Ocean will always be treasured.
The dining experience is also amazing, especially the delicious food in Aqua Restaurant and Beach Club Restaurant, as well as a variety of cocktails. Elite can always reserve the best place for us.
Fallu Fuji Island itself is a paradise on earth, and the professional service of Elite makes this beautiful sublimation. We have started to plan to come back next year, and we will definitely ask Elite to continue to be our housekeeper!

Magical repeat visit - exceptional once again

We loved it the first time, and we loved it even more the second.
This visit, we changed from a water villa to a beach villa and found no difference in quality of accommodation - equally stunning. Thank you Nafeez - it was invariably immaculate, with thoughtful touches such as pillow choices and bed decor. You had a hard act to follow after Irman - and how lovely it was to see him again too! The real source of absolute service guarantee, however, was the inimitable Elite. Our returning Super Host. By name, by nature - the absolute best.
12 nights was still not quite enough to get through the full range of marvellous food options and quality, extensive wine menu. Chef Moreno and Head Sommelier Joseph lead their teams with visible passion, knowledge and skill. Thank you to so many - top Chef Fernando, with the fish delicacies on tap, Sheelam who delivered up superb pasta lunches, Roy and Yasir who always ensured a warm welcome at Aqua, the team in the Beach Grill who rustled up steak and salad with extraordinary ease. But more on steak later…
For Cappucinos, cold Cokes and Cabanas - we salute you, Team Pool Bar! Led by the joyful Kasun, everyone was so keen to ensure we always had whatever requirement may have been on the horizon. We found Sairam, Zunam, Akhil and Aniket to be watchful caretakers of our every need. A mean Margarita was no problem for the fabulous Ishika. Pool bar happiness was always a given, especially at sunset win the beautiful bats swooping over us.
But the special occasions for us were the evenings at Meditteraneo. Beautiful venue, impeccable service and some off the scale Wyagu. Tomahawk, cauliflower gratin and De Toren will stay with us as an abiding memory. We found all the sommeliers just fantastic - the return of Ram matched by the enthusiastic new team of Sean and Supreeti. Joseph imparts his deep knowledge to create a real dynamic between the food and wine experience.
Calories in, calories out! The walks around the gorgeous island, early or late, star spotting (of the only kind that matters) and seeing fish beyond your colour comprehension are such delights to work off the gastronomical fun. Nature is in abundance here and the more you look, the more you see. On the rare occasions we had a couple of unwelcome interactions with nature (due to me forgetting the insect repellent), Asghar at Reception sorted out an immediate cream dispensation from the on site Doc. As I said, nothing here is too much trouble.
The Emerald F team work tirelessly to provide every guest with a unique experience. They are the difference. I expect that’s why we will be back for third time 😘👌
