Rooms were 4 star quality and not 5 star
Location was great and ocean front villas are great.
Food quality was 3/10 and I tried every property on site.
Fact that the resort is so far and I paid hefty price to get there from male (45min sea plane ride), it just felt underwhelming for the amount of money they charge.
Certainly not a 5 star level resort. I would say it’s a good 4 star resort
We stayed in the Superior Water Villa with pool with sunset facing view. Good length pool, however in the room the facilities and interior are a bit dated but everything worked and was clean. Each room had use of their own bikes so you could cycle around the island but you also had a buggy service on request as well.
Our on call personal assistant Fayaz was very helpful whenever we needed any assistance which made our whole stay even more special.
The resort is all inclusive with enough restaurants and a nice selection of foods and wines for a nice international experience. Whilst it isn’t the cheapest being all inclusive the place was not crowded, however you do need to hop on a 45mins seaplane to get here which is another cost on top.
The general service and attitude of all the staff working there were great leaving us with an enjoyable lasting memory.
Amazing service and accommodations. The property is in pristine shape and the staff always addresses you . Great dining options as well . Make sure to op for Catch of the Day buffet night .
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.
Great resort, superb water villas with own pool. Very good food in every restaurants and great wines, cocktails... Overall services were very good ja gentle. No mosquitos met anywhere. Snorkling reef good, some corals alive, lots of fishes and great life under water. Dolphin sunset cruise was also super nice experience. Special thanks to Roman for all arrangements, Roman was our host.
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.
We had such a memorable honeymoon at this stunning resort, full of extremely kind staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. My wife lost her wedding ring one evening and the entire resort staff - from our main host, Kunal, to the room maintenance team and the security manager - went out of their way to help us find the ring, and to our utmost surprise and happiness, the staff actually succeeded in finding the ring the next day. We cannot recommend with any more enthusiasm this fabulous resort, for its extremely nice room, restaurants, activities, and most of all the kindest staff I’ve ever met. We extend our sincere appreciation to our main host Kunal, the security manager Anwar, our room maintenance host Imaad, and the restaurant staffs including Nuwan and Vicky. When we visit Maldives again in the future, we would definitely stay at Emerald Faarufushi again and we have already recommend this resort to all of our friends who are considering vacation to Maldives. 100/100 stunning experience, period.
We just returned from our first trip to the Maldives – and Emerald Faarufushi was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Despite a flight delay and an unexpected overnight stay in Malé, the Emerald team stepped in immediately: they replied to our email within minutes and even sent someone to meet us at the airport late at night. We felt truly looked after from the start.
Arriving on the island, we were absolutely blown away. It’s stunning – peaceful, pristine, and beautifully maintained. The gardens are cared for all day by kind staff, and the island smells of flowers. A true tropical dream.
Our villa was spotless, stylish, and extremely comfortable. Housekeeping by Wayan was excellent. The beach and crystal-clear ocean were simply breathtaking. We also treated ourselves to a massage at the spa – pure bliss.
What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff’s warmth and dedication. Our host Aslaan was always available via WhatsApp – kind, thoughtful, and full of surprises: from a dolphin tour to a romantic flower bath. When I injured my foot, he picked us up within minutes and arranged a doctor right away.
This level of care was present everywhere – in the restaurants, bars, spa, and beyond. Everyone we met was genuinely welcoming and professional.
This trip was a dream come true, and thanks to Emerald Faarufushi, it became reality. Truly paradise on earth.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
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.
We already had extremely high expectations both of the Maldives and Faarafushi but OH MY GOODNESS did Faarafushi exceed those expectations! It is truly heaven on earth. The rooms are divine, the sea life is out of this world, the food is delectable, the cocktails and wine selection are to die for, the spa is bliss, but the staff is what makes this place even more special than you can imagine! Such kind and friendly people! Sundar and Ankur are both fantastic cocktail makers and kind and funny people. Sundar made us the most special cocktails and led a wonderful cocktail class and Ankur led a super interesting molecular mixology class, neither of which you should miss! Vishal gave “turn down service” a whole new meaning with his incredible decorations, and also treated us to birthday decorations for my husband’s birthday and honeymoon decorations. True works of art! We don’t know our masseurs name unfortunately but we had the best Balinese couples massage of our lives! Priyanka was our waitress a couple of nights and was just the sweetest and most attentive waitress one could imagine! We also loved Mohammed and Rohit who told us a lot about the Maldives and Rohit helped us plan our trip to Agra (where we were off to next). And finally our INCREDIBLE host Fayaz who was simply amazing! Organised everything to perfection, always checked in on us and made sure we were happy with everything and just made the whole experience perfection. Run don’t walk to this resort! It is HEAVEN!
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!
The staff are on top of their stuff. Highly recommend this hotel. Gorgeous hotel and property and lots of corals and fishes to see. Very high quality vacation spot
Our stay was great and the staff was amazing. Food and drinks were all of high quality which is not always the case for all inclusive resorts.
Highly recommend
We stayed at 3 different islands in the Maldives and this one blew the others away! The food, scenery, ambiance, rooms, staff, snorkeling, pool, activities,... everything was perfection. My only regret was not booking this stay for longer!
