A real dream!

Apr 1, 2026 Susanna T Trieste, Italy

A real dream! I was at Emerald for my birthday last March and everything was truly special, starting from our villa. Our hosts were incredible in making our days meaningful, starting from Shafi and all the staff, Andrea from the diving centre and all the others. Food was a pleasure, lot of different tastes available. A real dream came true.

Heaven: Why Emerald Maldives remains our absolute favorite for the second year in a row

Mar 31, 2026 Navigate58439143064 Baku, Azerbaijan

As seasoned Maldives travelers on our 7th visit to these beautiful islands, we have very high expectations. However, Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa continues to be the place that truly has our hearts. This was our second stay here (returning in March, just like last year), and we were so impressed previously that we made sure to book early to secure our return to this paradise. The Warmest Welcome Back What makes Emerald stand out is how they treat their returning guests. We were deeply touched by the loyalty gifts we received: a $150 SPA voucher, a romantic candlelit dinner, and two incredible excursions — fishing and a dolphin watch. It’s these thoughtful touches that make you feel truly valued and special. A Team of Excellence The consistency here is remarkable. We want to thank the General Manager, Mr. Rohit, and his entire team for maintaining such an impeccably high level of service. You can feel the heart and soul put into every detail—the staff is sincere, proactive, and deeply involved. Our stay wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful Butler, Ms. Kristina. She is a true professional—always one step ahead, sincere, and incredibly caring. Kristina, thank you for making everything so seamless! Culinary Magic The food here is simply outstanding—everything, everywhere, and always! A special mention must go to the Executive Chef, Mr. Alok, whose passion for excellence is evident in every dish across the resort. We also had an unforgettable experience with Vicas, the Teppanyaki Chef. He is a true magician! His performance was both spectacular and entertaining, and the food was incredibly delicious. It was a highlight of our evenings! Milestones and Memories This trip was a huge milestone for our family as our boys completed their PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certificates here. A massive thank you to Igor, the diving instructor. He was fantastic with the kids—patient, professional, and very inspiring. The house reef is absolutely vibrant, making every dive an unforgettable experience. Our Favorite Rituals Our evenings and mornings were spent at the Sunset and Sunrise bars. There is a unique magic to these spots; the atmosphere, the cocktails, and the views are simply the best on the island. Combined with the stunning, spacious villas, it’s pure bliss. We are leaving once again feeling happy, refreshed, and incredibly grateful. Thank you, Emerald team, for keeping the standards so high. We’ve had a spectacular time and are already looking forward to our next visit! Read less

An exceptional holiday!

Mar 29, 2026 nik472017 London, United Kingdom

We travelled as a family with a baby who was 1.5 years old. This was our first time to the Maldives and it completely exceeded our expectations! The hotel is outstanding and the staff all go above and beyond. The sommeliers Rai and Chris were fantastic, Nitin was brilliant and so warm and welcoming and Vikas on the teppanyaki did a great job. Not forgetting our Villa host Shafi who was there for us for anything we needed. These were just a few of the staff but really all of them made us feel so welcomed and nothing was too much. The hotel had a great kids club, the snorkelling in front of aqua was a great experience and the dining out all the restaurants was fabulous! We will definitely be returning x Read less

“Outstanding Service and a Wonderful Team”

Mar 26, 2026 reenzonex r

We would like to sincerely thank the resort for the wonderful vacation we spent on this beautiful island. This was not our first time here, and definitely not the last. We would especially like to thank our host Kristina – she is number one! People like she are the reason why guests want to come back again and again. Thank you for the high level of service, the pleasant communication, and the genuine care. People like she truly represent the resort and raise it to a very high standard. We also had the opportunity to meet and get to know Jasmine, who left a very good impression on us. In addition, we would like to highlight other staff members who surprised us with their kindness and willingness to help with everything. Their level of service was outstanding, so we would like to say thank you to Anthony, Shaikhan, Nabee, and the entire team. Thanks to all of your efforts, this resort maintains such a high standard, a wonderful atmosphere, and makes guests want to return again. We hope to see you again soon! Pavel & Ieva 🫶 Read less

A Few Days in Paradise at Emerald Resort, Maldives

Mar 22, 2026 DanielSchl Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We just got back from Emerald Resort and honestly we’re still not over it. Our water villa was incredible super spacious, beautifully done, and waking up to that endless blue view every day felt unreal. We spent so much time just sitting on the terrace, doing absolutely nothing (which was perfect). Even the bathroom deserves a mention huge, modern, and just really well designed. We also tried the spa, and it was exactly what we needed completely relaxing and peaceful. Food wise, we were seriously impressed. We made it a point to try all the restaurants, and not a single one disappointed. Everything felt fresh, well thought out, and just really enjoyable. Asiatique ended up being our favorite we actually went back more than once. Big thanks to Chef Pritam, Chef Vikas, and especially Chef Alok. What stood out wasn’t just the food, but how much they clearly care. It never felt routine Chef Alok came by, chatted with us, suggested dishes, and even adjusted things to what we liked. That kind of attention makes a big difference. The wine and drinks selection was also great lots of options and everything paired really nicely with the meals. The people made it special More than anything, it was the team that made this trip what it was. * Shafi, from the moment we arrived, he just made everything easy. Always there when needed, always one step ahead, but never in an over the top way. It felt natural and genuinely caring, not like “service” at all. * Moosa, from the Dive Center, and honestly just fantastic. Super knowledgeable, calm, and made every experience in the water feel effortless and fun. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and that energy carries through. * Chris, Bright, Rai, Areej, Meraj, Siri, Mirfan, and many others everyone was just kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. Nothing ever felt forced or scripted, which made it all feel much more personal. Overall, it’s one of those places where everything just comes together beautiful setting, great food, and people who genuinely care. We’ll definitely be back. Read less
