Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa | Resort in Raa Atoll, Raa Atoll

“Amazing ”

“Thank you for Faya. All the staff members we love our stays.”

“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.”

“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 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! ”

“It was one of the best resort experience. They have the best staff, they accomedate all of our requests with a smile. Highly recommend!”

“Nice stay!!!!”

“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 had expected the breath taking physical beauty of the island, but were really amazed by the caring and professional staff throughout our stay: from the transfer assistant at arrival in Male, to the villa host who organized our meals and excursions, to the culinary director overseeing the meal preparation at the 6 restaurants, to the bar tenders, servers, and cleaners. Our villa on the beach was spacious and comfortable but not extravagant. The food and alcoholic offerings were at premium level. There was live music and trivia nights. Our package included a dolphin tour (we saw 5 of them about 30 minutes away from the island) and a photo session. The resort has its own app with all the necessary information for your stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the resort. ”

“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.”
