Located in the Raa Atoll in the Maldives’ northern archipelago, both Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa and Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa manage to achieve the pinnacle of tropical luxury and attain the highest level of comfort and indulgence, without compromising the flawless beauty of the surrounding atolls and maintaining a focus on sustainability. With eco-friendly accommodations, these breathtaking resorts manage to combine contemporary amenities with warm tropical flourishes.

Located on a lush, private, 7-hectare island with 1.2 km of powdery, white sandy beach, Emerald Faarufushi is a gem in the heart of the Maldives’ northern archipelago and is surrounded by a gorgeous 100-hectare lagoon with one of the finest coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. Exquisite culinary experiences, adrenaline-pumping activities, jaw-dropping comfort and invigorating spa experiences are all waiting to be experienced in one of the world’s most exclusive destinations. Inspired by an innovative concept of a Deluxe All-Inclusive formula, Emerald Faarafushi offers different types of cuisine meaning there’s something to suit every palate. Using the finest and purest of flavours, authentic recipes are produced from different cultures with a wide range of options available to suit couples and families alike.

Sophisticated in Design

All of the villas at Emerald Faarafushi were built with the intention of integrating with the surrounding environment and reflect a minimalistic, sophisticated design incorporating natural elements of stone and wood. With idyllic views of the crystal clear Indian Ocean, some with their own private pool, all of the villas are either perched directly on the white sandy beach or are situated on the water. Relax and cool off after a day in the Maldives sun with the thoughtful and homely luxury amenities including king size beds, walk-in and ‘under the stars’ showers, bathtubs, generous wardrobes and room-controlled air conditioning.

Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa

Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa is surrounded by 1.5 km of white sandy beach on a private island boasting 120 luxurious Villas including water villas with direct access to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. With eco-friendly accommodation combining contemporary creature comforts with warm tropical flourishes, Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa is ideal for couples and families alike. Do as much or as little as you like. Relax and be pampered in the luxurious spa.
