Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa - Deluxe All Inclusive

We chose Emerald Faarufushi Resort as the destination for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be an absolute dream come true. Our 4-night stay at the Beach Villa with Pool, coupled with the exceptional service of every staffs, as well as our wonderful host, Kunal, made our honeymoon an experience beyond compare. As we stepped onto the pristine shores of the resort, we were instantly captivated by the ethereal beauty of our Villa. The villa, adorned with luxurious amenities, seamlessly combined modern comforts with the natural allure of the Maldives. The private pool, surrounded by lush greenery and mere steps away from the sparkling ocean, offered us moments of intimacy and tranquility. Throughout our stay, Kunal, our gracious host, deserves special commendation for making our stay truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that instantly made us feel at home. Kunal's attention to detail was impeccable, and he went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our honeymoon was flawless. Kunal made us feel like royalty, and we are immensely grateful for his genuine and personalized service. The Resort also offers a plethora of activities and excursions, and we took full advantage of the water sports and snorkeling opportunities to explore the breathtaking coral reefs and encounter exotic marine species. Each adventure was expertly organized by the resort, ensuring our safety and enjoyment at all times. The culinary experiences at Emerald Faarufushi Resort were simply sensational. The resort's restaurants and bars offered a diverse range of delectable dishes, each prepared with the finest ingredients and presented with artistic flair. Beyond the exquisite dining experiences, the resort's attention to sustainability and environmental conservation added an extra layer of significance to our stay. Overall, this is heaven of heavens that I cannot recommend enough.

My luggage was damaged during the transfer by the resort's staff. Despite their claims that the damage existed before the luggage arrived at the resort, and then they try to absolve themselves of responsibility. It is deeply concerning to receive such an irresponsible reply from the resort.

We recently enjoyed 5 days at Emerald Faarfushi as a family of 4 with a 13 and 18 year old. The resort is beautiful and we loved our Superior Over Water Villa, we could snorkel directly from our steps! The food was fantastic, really enjoyed the Teppanyaki dinner! Our room cleaner Wandi was brilliant! Kept our room spotless and made beautiful towel animals each day, the only disappointment was our butler. Having read other reviews of how helpful and responsive they were and for the price I paid, I expected a level of service, sadly we didn’t get, maybe we were unlucky! Everyone else we met were extremely friendly and polite, especially Priyanka at breakfast, she is a credit to the hotel. I enjoyed a private yoga session in the spa which was perfect and the instructor, very knowledgeable. In summary a beautiful resort with great staff.

Vacationing here with my family was one of the best travel decisions we've ever made, a truly extraordinary experience leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime! This was our first time at Faarufushi and second time in the Maldives; the first was at the sister resort Emerald Maldives, which is another incredible resort and island. As a family of four we stayed for 12 nights in a beach villa, right in front of the reef and close to the aqua restaurant, which made it very convenient for morning breakfast with the kids and perfect for daily snorkelling adventures - the marine life is out of this world! Choosing a beach villa was important for us with kids as we could easily watch them play in the sand as we relaxed in the villa's outdoor lounge area. To no surprise, the staff are warm and friendly, with no request too big or inconvenient. Since we were travelling with a child and baby, they made sure we were equipped with all of the necessary bits and bobs - think bottle sterilisers, nappy bins, etc. Our house manager always showed up with a big smile and was flexible with cleaning times (while baby napped) and Nicole so kind and patient - they truly go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, so THANK YOU to each and every one of them! In addition to the fantastic spa services - best massage ever! - we took advantage of the spa's relaxation area, steam room and cold plunge pools. You can call in advance and reserve a 1 hour slot, which is free for guests to use. We would drop the kids off at the kids club and transport ourselves into total bliss! We can't forget the food and Chef Moreno's is some of the best we've ever had at a resort - and his pasta carbonara - the best we've ever had period! Between all of the restaurants, you are spoilt for choice and usually leave with a few kg extra. See you soon Faarufushi!
