We chose a beach villa over an overwater villa for its seclusion among lush palm trees and private sunbeds. The villa was elegantly furnished, exuding charm, and was impeccably clean. The resort's restaurants met the high standards expected of a five-star establishment. The food and beverages were good for an all-inclusive resort, but the friendly and attentive service from the staff made dining exceptional. The view from the over-water Eclipse bar was breathtaking, and the mixologists crafted exquisite cocktails. The Balinese spa offered a comprehensive range of treatments that fully met our expectations. The gym equipment was well-maintained, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and it was often empty, providing a comfortable workout environment. The white sand beach was stunning, teeming with marine life, and free of algae or seaweed, making it entirely odour-free. Despite being fully booked, the resort never felt crowded, and the beach in front of our villa was mostly deserted. The infrastructure met the expectations of a five-star resort, but it was the staff who elevated the experience. Every staff member was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and their warmth felt genuine. The positive attitude of the personnel reflected a culture of respect and friendliness. Special thanks to: Our villa host Nabeel, Sager, Suda, Chefs Feri, Alan, and Pedipa, Ori, Subash, Aalim, Ammy, Joseph, Bona, and Heather, Kiki, Mita, Feri, the tennis coach, Mata, and Visal, the mixologist.

We just returned from the most AMAZING honeymoon at Emerald Faarufushi! I researched resorts for months and I am so glad I chose Emerald. Service: The service at this resort is truly 5-star! From the moment we left baggage claim at the Male airport, we were greeted and catered to every moment of our trip. I can honestly say, every single employee we interacted with provided the best service I’ve experienced in my life. When we arrived at the resort, we were introduced to our villa host, Nabeel, who graciously catered to our every need and desire throughout the trip. He set us up with WhatsApp messaging so we could contact him night or day for anything we needed. He had our dining reservations planned out before we even arrived and each one worked out perfectly for our stay. On our last day, we requested a late check-out and Nabeel coordinated getting us a beach villa to use for the day since our room needed to be vacated for the next guests. Nabeel was so amazing we felt like he would do anything within his power to ensure we had the best vacation/honeymoon ever. The food and drink were also top-notch and all included in the price. The quality was incredible and there aren’t up charges everywhere like I saw at other resorts. They really take pride in the quality of their food and beverages and the head chef was always making his rounds to interact with the guests. Finally, the rooms are amazing. Modern, clean, and luxurious. I would definitely return in the future!

Mind blown! There are 5 star premium all inclusive resorts and then there is Emerald Faarufushi. I have incredibly high standards which were met and exceeded by the amazing diverse team at Faarufushi. I have been to the Maldives before so from experience, I knew it was wise to split my stay between the water villa and a beach villa. You get a dedicated villa host for your entire stay. Mine was the very attentive Mr. Vikas who took care of every need, villas are serviced multiple times a day, very abundantly stocked mini bar refilled daily. I honestly couldn’t consume one day’s worth of refreshments because of the abundant offerings around the various resort restaurants and bars. I spent 2 nights on a sunset water villa and 1 on a sunrise beach villa. Perfect decision on my part and I highly recommend a split stay. Special thanks to Chef Sudarshan at Teppanyaki for an amazing presentation, Moreno at Aqua for the best carbonara I have ever had (he made it in 10mins), Kim and Alim at Carnivorous. Also Shimau, Rohit, Afrah, Mohammed, Ahmed.. Just too many to name. I highly recommend Emerald Faarufushi

I must say the staff make us feel so welcome and enjoyable during our stay. Awesome service provided by the host Faheem. He took initiative a few times and exceeded our expectations to buggy us for dinner. We liked it when he appeared at our door and asked if we are ready for dinner when it’s time for dinner. Amazing! He is very well organised. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Love the surprises they arranged for my husband‘s birthday! Mgmt has definitely done a great job in managing an outstanding team there. The Villa was clean and spacious. Love the snacks and drinks they replenished daily. Minor things which can be improved: Breakfast can have more changes in options from day to day. Comb is wooden and breaks easily. Shower cap quality is not good and breaks easily too. I guess it’s not plastic that’s why. But thumbs up on the environmental protection work to avoid using plastics in their toiletries and bottles of water. Conclusion: We are missing the paradise already. Definitely will recommend anyone to stay at this resort. Never felt so safe at foreign lands before.

This resort is a true paradise. Everything is immaculate and is built not only to function but to instill an atmosphere of relaxation. The staff are all wonderful. Each one will greet you with a smile and will cater to your every need without delay. Our butler Vikas was amazing and he was always a friendly face to see around the resort. The food quality is impressive, especially for an all-inclusive resort. The villa was well stocked with snacks and supplies and was replenished daily. The cleaning crew made our villa look brand new every day. The view from the over water villa was spectacular. The infinity pool and the ocean were both in full view from the bed, which was an amazing sight to wake up to each morning. My wife and I could not have had a better experience for our honeymoon.

What an amazing resort! As a single traveler, the transfers to and from the resort were seemless. I enjoyed the property and having the bicycle and golf cart access, made getting around easy. But what made this resort a highlight was the staff. Everyone was cheerful and outgoing. This resort had it all - good food, beautiful location and much much more. Can't wait to return.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Emerald Faarufushi and had an amazing time. I must say it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped into Malé until the time of our departure, we experienced impeccable service and a warm hospitality that made our stay truly memorable. We were fortunate to have Elite as our vila host. His excellent guest services elevated our experience to a whole new level. Throughout our stay, Elite consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our vacation was taken care of. We wholeheartedly recommend Emerald Faarufushi Resort to fellow travellers seeking a remarkable resort experience in Maldives. The hotel's luxurious ambiance, coupled with its excellent facilities and delightful dining options, create a perfect oasis for celebrating special milestones. We look forward to returning to Emerald Faarufushi in the future.

The best vacation was spent! It's a valuable and enjoyable resort. There's a friendly one-on-one host taking care of all your needs during the stay, and also with all the friendly and cheerful staff. Everything was inclusive and they will let you know clearly what's not included. (just those included are already too good) All the restaurants on the island were amazing! Pairing with the view and the weather were magnificent. Snorkeling around the resort gives you a remarkable experience. Although you can see tons of fish and coral during the day, there are more species during the night and you will feel safe to snorkel around the area. All-inclusive means ALL-inclusive, you get all your meals included with a selection of five restaurants and two bars and you will be guaranteed to be stuffed with delicious food and wine. You get all the snacks and four types of wine (red, white, rosé, and sparkling) provided in the mini bar for free and will be refilled daily or charged on request after the first refill. You get complimentary activities to enjoy with your partner during the stay. Including, daily one-hour water sports; a complimentary cruise experience with your choice of sunset dolphin watching or sunset fishing; All kinds of classes from gnocchi making to wine and food pairing to bartender class, and much more! Also, a complimentary 30-minute photo shooting experience with one included printed photo. It's guaranteed that your spending is worth paying. Highly recommend
