Just leaving after an amazing 7-day stay at Emerald Faaufushi. As a solo traveler here to celebrate my 50th birthday, the staff here made me feel so special, from my amazing villa host Tharif to the exceptional food and beverage team, receptionist, housekeeping, etc. This was truly a dream trip, and I cannot wait to come back. I stayed in a sunset overwater bungalow (327) which was exceptional. I could hear the ocean constantly, and having my own sun deck and pool was so worth the splurge. The food at all of the restaurants was incredible - my birthday dinner was at Carnivorous and the team there sang happy birthday and brought me a cake! The weather was much better than I expected - windy but I had 5 great days of sunshine. I used the gym four days of my trip and it was small but nicely appointed. I also enjoyed two spa days - again, exceptional staff and experiences. I can’t recommend this resort enough! Thank you all for making this a dream trip! Hope to see you again soon!

Thanks for the most amazing holiday! ❤️ Beautiful island, soft sandy beaches, lovely infrastructure and really nice design. We stayed in Villa 203 & 204. Swaying palm trees and very green vegetation. Perfect beach just in front. Food in the different restaurants was delicious and varied. Last but certainly not the least is the champions. The team in Emerald is the best! Beautiful and very talented and nice people. Everyone from the gardeners to the staff behind the scene are just amazing. Thanks to all 😘 Also big thanks and hugs to Villa Butler Igga, Naveen who took care of our villa. Sommelier Neema, Sommelier Ram, waitress Sajanie and Adele. ❤️😘❤️😘

6/10 Okay

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

What an amazing resort! As a single traveler, the transfers to and from the resort were seemless. I enjoyed the property and having the bicycle and golf cart access, made getting around easy. But what made this resort a highlight was the staff. Everyone was cheerful and outgoing. This resort had it all - good food, beautiful location and much much more. Can't wait to return.
