Great location right on the reef which appears to be picking up the from previous years’ weather damages. Good value for money. Staff very attentive to customers requirements. All inclusive is a good solution if you compare it with a la carte menus, as a la carte prices of appear quite exaggerated. You could drink as much as you like it from the in room minibar, but if you ask for an exception regarding the drink selection they’ll charge you a lot.
Still with the good weather, which has not been really with us these days, this place is a paradise. The villa host service
is highly useful, it makes you hassle free. Moreno, the Italian chef, prepares the best Italian as well as international dishes. Also coordinates the international staff in preparing great dishes. He is definitely the star of the resort. Always there to listen to customers’ desires, always caring. And the staff he coordinates follow his example. Outstanding! We had a great time at Emerald resort and will go back again.
We recently returned from our first trip to the Maldives – and we couldn’t have chosen a better place than Emerald Faarufushi for our honeymoon. From the very first moment, everything exceeded our expectations.
Unfortunately, due to a flight delay, we missed our seaplane connection and had to spend a night in Malé. However, Emerald’s team immediately stepped in: they responded to our email within minutes, and even had a staff member meet us at the airport late at night to help us. We truly felt taken care of from the beginning.
When we finally arrived on the island, we were absolutely blown away. The island is stunning – pristine, peaceful, and so beautifully maintained. The gardens are looked after from morning until evening by a team of kind gardeners, and the entire island smells like flowers. It genuinely feels like a tropical dream.
Our villa was perfect – spotlessly clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Housekeeping by Wayan was outstanding. The beach and the crystal-clear ocean are beyond words. We also treated ourselves to a massage at the spa, which was pure bliss.
What really made our stay unforgettable, however, was the dedication of the staff. Our host Aslaan was available for us at any time via WhatsApp, always friendly and ready to help. He surprised us with a dolphin tour and a romantic flower bath. When I injured my foot, he immediately picked us up with a buggy and arranged for a doctor within 10 minutes.
This level of care and kindness was something we experienced everywhere on the island – in the bars, restaurants, spa, and beyond. Everyone we met was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming.
This trip was a dream of ours for many years, and thanks to Emerald Faarufushi, it truly became reality. It was nothing less than paradise on earth, and we are already dreaming of coming back one day.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
