Reviews
They couldn’t do more for you and had a genuine passion and interest in our needs as a family.
I cannot recommend highly enough.
Having previously stayed at exceptional properties such as Four Seasons Kuda Huraa and Soneva Jani, we arrive with very high standards — and Emerald Faarufushi not only met them, but surpassed them.
From the very first moment at check-in, everything was impeccable. The villas were allocated immediately, seamlessly and with genuine warmth. Even more impressive was the organization of an extraordinary late check-out — offered naturally, without additional charges, and without the usual hesitation of “we’re not sure if it’s possible.” It was simply handled, graciously and effortlessly.
The staff is truly exceptional: extremely well trained, attentive to every detail, yet never intrusive. Their presence feels natural and sincere, not scripted. Cleanliness throughout the resort is outstanding — from the villas to the pools and restaurants — everything is immaculate and beautifully maintained.
Any request or question was met instantly, always with a smile and a genuine willingness to help, without ever giving the impression that assistance was forced or artificial.
The all-inclusive concept here is taken to an exceptional level. The food is delicious, refined, and impeccably prepared. The possibility to dine across multiple restaurants truly enhances the experience and keeps every meal exciting. A special mention goes to the Italian executive chef — and to what was, quite simply, the best lobster risotto we have ever had.
One of the highlights of our stay was the fishing experience. Catching our own fish and then having it beautifully prepared by the resort’s chefs was an unforgettable moment — a perfect blend of authenticity and refined hospitality.
Snorkeling deserves special praise. While the boat excursions were wonderful, the most breathtaking snorkeling experience was right in the lagoon surrounding the resort itself. The marine life, clarity of the water, and overall richness of the reef are truly exceptional — among the best we have seen in the Maldives.
Emerald Faarufushi genuinely deserves to be ranked among the very top resorts in the Maldives. We sincerely hope this review contributes to elevating its already outstanding rating from 9.9 to a well-deserved 10.
For the first time, we leave a resort already knowing we want to return.
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.
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 loved the warm and welcoming atmosphere when we got off the seaplane. The staff greeted us with traditional music and everyone smiled and waved at us. Our personal host aslaan was the most perfect we could wish for. He was always available and gave us good tips and advice when we had questions or inquiry’s.
The cleaning staff were also very kind and excellent, we haven’t found a dirty towel or missing spot. They clean two times a day so it’s amazing how organised everything is.
We also loved their Food offer and every restaurant, especially the Teppanyaki Grill and their drinks were amazing.
Our beach villa was breathtaking and had the best spot on the island but their water villas are also unique and very beautiful.
We even got an upgrade which left us speechless and overjoyed! Our own personal pool topped the experience and we jumped right in.
Their thoughtful wishes and decorations about our anniversary was something we will never forget and are very thankful for. We loved their effort and time they took to prepare something special for us.
Their entertainment offer is at the sunset pool and varies on evenings, we missed most of the karaoke nights due to dinner reservations but the Food was worth it!
The special bar spot eclipse on the water is really something else. You can watch fishes and sharks from your seat and enjoy the night with a good drink in hand.
The diving Center was also wonderful equipped and friendly and you can book amazing experiences like scuba diving or turtle and manta diving there. They also offer dolphin cruises and sunset fishing.
The only disclaimer was their water Sport Center which left us disappointed for a few minutes because the boys weren’t really friendly to us and didn’t give us a paddle board to lend. This was the only thing we were sad about but overall we enjoyed our stay and can recommend it strongly!
Thank you for everything Emerald Faarfushi Team, wishing you the best wishes and know that you’re doing a great job!
This is a nice resort, but the treatment during the checkout was horrible.
You are being treated as garbage once you checkout and they make you feel that you are unwanted while you wait for your seaplane.
I was traveling with 3 kids and we asked for a late checkout and were not given our room.
Although we checked in on 16:00 on the first day, the day before departure we were informed that we need to checkout at 12:00
hrs. There are several issues here:
1- We were only informed the day before about the checkout time and that late checkout was not available. I had a massage appointment at 11:00 on the day of the checkout which was arranged two days prior arranged buy the villa butler. When I got out of the massage, I was told that I must immediately go and pay for extras so I was forced into a rush right after my massage treatment and the whole affect of was gone.
2- Even the villa bike (they have several) was taken away from me as "it is required for the new guests". Those new guests who are given priority will be treated the same way when they are checking out.
3- Personnel from the hotel was waiting in front of the door at 12:01 pressing out to move (we were ready and trying to do a final check of the room).
I am not sure if this a single incident but looking at the experience of other members of our travel group, it seems to be an organized treatment towards guests that are checking out.
Having travelled around the world and having stayed in so many hotels, this is the first time l have experienced this type of treatment.
