Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa

Honest review

This is a stunning new hotel set on a magnificent island, surrounded by tropical greenery, snow-white sand and a splendid lagoon with a coral reef.

Emerald is a true islet of seclusion. The resort comprises 80 exquisitely designed villas, 38 on the beach and 42 over the water. The designers set out to highlight the island's beauty with interiors that are minimalist yet contemporary. The main goal was harmony — the feeling of merging completely with the surrounding nature. The creators succeeded in uniting elegance and simplicity, modernity and the authenticity of nature.

The villas are furnished and decorated with refined taste, even polish, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. All the villas, whether on the whitest of beach sand or over the water, are private and enjoy fantastic views of the Indian Ocean.

The resort offers guests not only nature and scenery, but new gastronomic pairings, flavors and aromas. The hotel's restaurants span different cuisines, faithfully reproducing authentic recipes from specific cultures: from Italy to Asia, from Africa to Brazil, from the Americas to the Mediterranean. Inspired by the pioneering idea of combining the trappings of a luxury holiday with an All-Inclusive dining formula, the resort offers a wide selection of dishes, conscientiously and precisely reproduced from original recipes using the finest ingredients.

There is one particular place on the island that will truly free your mind and body. The spa will amaze you with world-class treatments rooted in Thai and Balinese practices. The complex's modern architecture blends naturally into the landscape. The center consists of 8 air-conditioned pavilions with steam rooms, relaxation areas with pools, yoga pavilions, and manicure and pedicure rooms.

And while the adults unwind, the resort's youngest guests have their own fun at the Dolphin kids' club. There they can get to know the Maldives through creative play and a wealth of educational, recreational and motivational activities, both indoors and out. The club is staffed by specially trained professionals who speak many of the world's languages, so parents need not worry about their children: the team knows how to engage and entertain every child, caring for each one according to their individual needs and interests.
