Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa

We spent our anniversary at Emerald Maldives 🤍 I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The staff were incredibly welcoming, the facilities were spotless, and the atmosphere was relaxing and luxurious. Every detail—from the room comfort to the quality of the food—exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to the butler and the manager for their exceptional service I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway

It’s my second time at Emerald and could not believe they can improve something that was perfect last year! Food is absolutely amazing and it’s plenty of different choices , water villas are spacious and beautiful and of course people - all the staff is so friendly and helpful. Any request or doubt is being solved within minutes but actually everything Works so well that there are not many doubts or problems :) love this Ola e a s people

Had booked this a year ahead, mainly seeing it being voted the #1 all inclusive in the World on Trip Advisor. Part of a longer holiday, our trip to Emerald was always intended to be both relaxing and the highlight. When we landed in Male we were greeted by Emerald staff who helped get us scheduled onto the sea plane and took us to the complimentary lounge as we waited. Our flight around 40 minutes. On arrival at Emerald we were greeted by their GM and a number of other members of staff, including our host for everything we needed, Ramses. I have never known levels of responsiveness of service than those delivered by Ramses. He was on everything. Faultless. We were taken to our over water villa by buggy. It was located to the far end of the jetty and about a 10 minute walk to the 1st set of restaurants and bar. When we walked in we were hit with a fantastic large room and equal sized bathroom, both looking out across the deck to the Indian Ocean. On the deck a couple of sun loungers, table and chairs, sit on deck net and outside shower. The latter great to use after you’ve finished floating in the ocean off your deck. Back in the room everything was immaculate and we had everything we needed. Daily refills of the mini bar happened without prompting. Huge shower, safe, adaptors, robes, slippers, flip flops, beach bag and a huge comfy bed. We also had the use of room numbered bicycles for those with balance and, for GF, a tricycle!! She loved it. What a great way to get around when the alcohol intake was a little bit lower. On the restaurant front our favourite was probably L’Asiatique where we had a great Asian meal on our final night. It does however get a bit warm in there and there is limited air-con in all eating areas (most being outdoor dining). On another night theTeppanyaki was entertaining but a little strange to eat vegetables, then rice and then meat at different intervals. Amazonico was also open air with a focus on South America. The Beach Grill we used a few times for lunch and our one evening visit coincided with us being given a fantastic beach table to just add to the experience. For other meals Aqua provided the platform for buffets with good choice and quality, including an Indian themed night and the Gala Dinner (where lobster comes into “all inclusive” play). Bars and entertainment are very low key. The sunrise bar was very quiet, despite the pleasant charm of barman Ahmed. It was nice to sit on the swings and contemplate the drinks list. Closed at night. The main bar is the Sunset bar, which again was rarely busy and entertainment didn’t kick in until 10pm, usually in the form of a DJ (often way past my allowed bed time). Drinks choice throughout resort is amazing. Only when downloading the app a week before travelling did I realise around 50 wines (including a Champagne and 3 Provence roses) were included. There are chargeable options too but surely nobody needs them. For the fitties there was a decent sized air conditioned gym, tennis court, 2 paddel courts and a small football pitch. GF tried the gym a few times and we even set the alarm to play paddel (our rules) twice. We also used the spa a couple of times, combining a small steam room, sauna and outdoor hot tub, the latter in the middle of a koi carp pond. Both times we went were the only ones there. Then GF returned 1 day for a ‘sculpture’ massage which she raved about. Julie and the spa team were so warm and friendly. Included in our stay was 1 complimentary boat trip so we headed off looking for dolphins and were lucky to see so many. Advertised as a resort for couples and families it seems to work for both, as long as your priority is to chill in amazing surroundings. A week of saying “wow” out loud quite a bit in a beautiful resort with the most amazing hosts. Priceless.

The perfect honeymoon destination resort. Our stay was exceptional from arrival to airport till the end of our stay, you don’t need to worry about anything everything is thought about guest. Especially thanks to our villa manager Shafi, you did everything that our honeymoon stay would be unforgettable. And also many thanks to Ahmend who took care that we would have everything in our villa and our villa was incredibly clean entire stay. Also the food was very good wide selection of restaurants and menus in it.
