About Emerald Faarufushi

Emerald Faarufushi is a new five-star all-inclusive resort, located in Raa Atoll - a scenic 45 minutes seaplane journey from the international airport. This exclusive retreat is situated on a small private island surrounded by swaying palm trees and more than a kilometre of white sandy beaches. These tropical landscapes are a gateway to tranquillity, creating an enchanting atmosphere of barefoot elegance throughout the resort. Of course, the 80 individual villas are all built with the intention of integrating into this stunning surrounding environment, championing a soft, sophisticated design which incorporates natural elements of stone and wood.

A proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Emerald Faarufushi stands out for its minimalist but modern architecture, authentic cultural experiences and meticulously refined services that defies pretence. Designed with the discerning traveller in mind, this magnetic and joyful resort is a real sanctuary in which guests can feel pampered and relaxed, offering an impeccable and non-intrusive service style and an indulgent all-inclusive package that starts the second you set foot on the island. Complementary perks of this package include delicious dining and drinking across the resort’s seven outlets, use of non-motorised watersports facilities, a weekly excursion and professional assistance with a personalised training programme.

Emerald Faarufushi’s PADI 5-Star dive centre is located near the arrival jetty, on a small coral island, offering very easy access to the sea.
