Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa

it's a wonderful experience and the service is good。体验挺好推荐来

What a gem! Not the prettiest island surrounded by groynes but has many of the ingredients to make a very special Maldivian holiday. Probably because of the protection ,the island is surrounded by lovely white sand beaches and a delightful lagoon near the main pool area. The pool is stunning -large enough to swim overlooking the ocean. The pool bar is adjacent from where you can order delightful cocktails - definitely recommend the Gilli Faru. The reef surrounds much of the island, but the finest coral is to be accessed from the end of the sunset jetty. A healthy reef with lots to see albeit few turtles. We went on the turtle and manta trip organised by the dive school - saw plenty of both and a was memorable experience. At the end of the jetty you will find the Eclipse bar - a fabulous spot to watch the sunsets and sharks swimming round at night. The main bar near the pool is a lovely daytime spot but does lack atmosphere at night. A husband and wife duo entertain each night but it was always quiet. The quality of food and variety of drinks is a highlight of this island. We have never eaten so well on all inclusive in the Maldives or drank so much ( very good) champagne on AI. The Italian head chef is superb and very visible - on several occasions we personalised our meals - they were delicious. The Mediterraneo is very romantic set over the water and we particularly enjoyed eating at the” Beach “ at lunch. The chefs at Aqua, the main restaurant, are very talented and we had some excelled themed meals. However, so much more could be done to make the inside and outside area of this restaurant more characterful and Maldivian. The staff who work in the restaurant, like all the staff on the island, are a delight. They cannot do enough for you. The sommeliers Supreeti ( I hope that I have spelled that correctly from Nepal) and Sean from South Africa chose some superb wines for us during our stay. Also thanks to Nish , Sony, Ishar for taking care of us too. The villas - wow! Our beach villa with pool was the nicest we have ever stayed in. Yes, we moved on the first day to one which had a wider section of beach in front but the villas have every amenity you can think off. Each villa has its own bikes and we really enjoyed tootling about on them. When you arrive at the island , you are assigned a villa host who basically organises you so that you get the most out of your island experience. Books restaurants, trips, extra towels, finds lost umbrellas! - our host Faya was fantastic and enhanced our stay significantly. What was also good to see was the General Manager, Patrick, around and about during the days and evenings interacting with guests and staff. We normally prefer a beach villa but as they intermixed with family villas they can be quite noisy. The water villas which have an age restriction seemed much quieter and had a lovely lagoon in front and good access to the reef. We had a fantastic holiday at Faarufushi and hopefully will return another time.

Stay in Room 312, 6-9 Dec Really love the resorts, nice view, good facilities, delicious food and most important is, very friendly and attentive staffs. Would like to thanks our room manager Faya, he is very friendly, helpful and humorous, that brought many helpful actions and joy to us. During our stay, he managed to do some surprises for our anniversary celebration, as well as tried his best to satisfy our needs. Also would like to thanks Max for his friendly and nice service. He talked to us nicely and suggested many cocktails after knowing that I like cocktails. He also remember our dining schedule and prepared additional surprises Arres is very friendly and attentive too. He always come to us and ask if we need anything. He also introduced some knowledges of this island to us. In additions, I also want to thank our guide in the “Manta & Turtle group excursion” although I am sorry that I forgot his name, but he is very friendly, cheerful and attentive. With his service, we enjoyed the excursion so much and we had some nice photos of the Manta and Turtle, as well as some good couple photos! Last but not least, we are amazed by the quality of the food and dinning here. The food is very delicious, dish portion is very generous, selection of food and beverage (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are very wide. Especially like the pasta dishes here, texture is always al dente and definitely very good quality pasta that I have ever tried. Would definitely recommend this resorts to my know ones, appreciate to all the friendly staff and the resort for giving us a memorable trip.

We had an incredible time at Emerald Faarufushi! The resort was really beautiful and excellent food as well as snorkelling spot. A special thanks to our butler, Faya, for meticulously arranging our stay and activities, allowing us to make the most of our experience. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. A heartfelt shoutout to Max, Ammy, Arres, and the Diving Club team for making our meals and excursions truly memorable!

Our stay at Emerald Faarufushi had ups and downs, largely defined by two vastly different butler experiences. Mara, assigned to us the first two days, provided utterly lackluster service—she never showed us around the island, failed to help book activities, and was unresponsive to restaurant coordination requests. Worse, we only learned about our room change the next day when we proactively asked her at 10 PM the night before. We sincerely hope the hotel confiscates the tip we gave her. After communicating with the manager, we were assigned Kumar, who was a game-changer. He was incredibly attentive: coordinating restaurants seamlessly, reminding us of daily activities every morning, and picking us up punctually at the villa for check-out—services we never got from Mara. The overwater villa with a private pool and stunning ocean views, plus delicious fresh seafood, made the trip wonderful, and Kumar’s outstanding service elevated it even more. We’re truly grateful to him and happily give him a five-star rating! Highly recommend this resort, especially with a dedicated butler like Kumar.
