Wow! What an amazing holiday we’ve had. The service has been outstanding, our main man Faheem ensured our every wish was catered for. Ram, vishnu, priyanka, sachin and Joseph, to name a few, also took care of us brilliantly. The food, wine, villa and facilities was truly top drawer! Thank you from mr and mrs Cox

It was a perfect honeymoon trip. The butler Aslan's service was very good and patient. He could solve our problems in time. Every waiter was very enthusiastic and timely. The Izad people in the Mediterranean restaurant were great. The chef in the teppanyaki restaurant were particularly good at it. The waiters who cleaned the room were also very enthusiastic. The room was clean and large. Gas. The flower bed is also carefully arranged. The activities on the island are also very rich. The food changes every day, and the taste is very good, especially the sweet and sour tenderloin in the Asian restaurant. The drinks on the island are very delicious 👍 We enjoyed a perfect honeymoon here, and we will definitely come back if we have a chance!!! Read less

The biggest of thanks to Rajeshwar, Kunal and the exceptional team at Emeral Faarufushi! We had the most sensational week here over Halloween with our 9-year-old son. The resort and island are truly remarkable, boasting some of the best snorkelling we’ve experienced around the house reef – the variety of marine life is unreal! I highly recommend taking the boat trip to see the manta rays and turtles—it’s an unforgettable experience! We stayed in a spacious beach villa with pool which was not only secluded but also had access right out to the reef where we spent most of our time. During our stay, we enjoyed an exceptional quality of food, thanks to the island's Chef Moreno and his talented team who work diligently behind the scenes. The seafood and pastries were particular highlights! Rakshit at the Beach Grill restaurant made our sons week with his personable interactions and smile! Kunal, our villa champion, went above and beyond for us. We will miss his daily messages checking in to see if we needed anything and effortlessly organizing our dining and activity plans. I have to highlight the incredible effort put into Halloween—it was truly exceptional! The attention to detail and creativity in the decorations and overall theme were absolutely sensational! Thank you to all the staff at Faarufushi – its been a holiday of a lifetime! Read less

It was an unforgettable experience for us here. Our villa host Elite did a great management for our stay here that we could enjoy the most. Stuffs here are very kind and could remember you even just meet once. It was lucky that we could experience Halloween in this short stay. Halloween decorations and special food are served this night. We could enjoy a lot. And thanks for the birthday celebration. It was a great memory for us. The scenery, the activities, the service, the food&drinks… all are just perfect. Would love to come again.
