We recently returned from our first trip to the Maldives – and we couldn’t have chosen a better place than Emerald Faarufushi for our honeymoon. From the very first moment, everything exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, due to a flight delay, we missed our seaplane connection and had to spend a night in Malé. However, Emerald’s team immediately stepped in: they responded to our email within minutes, and even had a staff member meet us at the airport late at night to help us.

Getting there
Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa lies about 186 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Ifuru, roughly 9.4 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Raa Atoll is far enough from Malé that the usual route is a domestic flight followed by a boat or road transfer; confirm the connection with the property before booking international flights.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Ifuru Island Maldives (9.2 km), Ungoofaar Inn (13 km) and Ungoofaaru Inn (13 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

Our recent 10 night stay in an overwater villa with sunset views at Emerald Faarufushi was quite literally, a dream holiday from start to finish and went beyond our expectations. It ticked every box and more! From the moment we landed at Malé airport, everything was seamless. The seaplane transfer was an experience in itself, the incredible views of the atolls are not to missed. Once we arrived at the resort, we discovered our overwater villa was absolutely stunning and really spacious (shout-out to room 321). The room was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need – right down to a fizz stopper for our wine! The biggest wow factor at the resort for us though has to be…
We came here with the wife and baby for 12 days in November. It’s a beautiful island resort with its own reef, tennis court, bicycles to get around if you want to and wonderful staff. The food with chef Moreno and the team is incredible. Some beautiful sunrise and sunsets, boat cruises, snorkeling and diving. The staff cannot do enough for you, special thanks for Maji in the restaurant, Aslaan our villa host, Ahmed, Kettut. Will definitely be heading back again
