Open to guests in December 2019, Emerald Maldives Resort and Spa boasts brand new, modern facilities. This island's tranquil setting blends perfectly with sustainable construction to provide some of the atoll's most comfortable accommodations. Each spacious and chic villa comes equipped with everything you'll need for your dream vacation, as well as easy access to the island's beautiful beaches, shaded paths, and house reef. Adventurous guests can choose from a long list of activities, with everything from dive courses and snorkelling, to paddleboarding and kayaking, bicycle tours, and more.
With six restaurants and bars, you'll never run out of delicious options for dining and drinking here.

Diving at Emerald Maldives
Emerald Maldives Resort and Spa's partner dive centre, TGI Divers, is among the most reputable operators in the Maldives. They offer complimentary "try dives", PADI and SSI courses, and guided adventures by day or night on the house reef, as well as daily excursions throughout Raa Atoll and beyond. Their scheduled boat trips hit all the best sites, including current-swept channels called kandus, and bustling pinnacles known as thilas. If you prefer laid-back diving, spend your days exploring the island's expansive coral gardens. No matter which experience suits you best, you'll love this shop's brand new rental gear and cameras, spacious dive boats, free nitrox for qualified divers, and expert international team.
Raa Atoll is a diverse diving area with something for everyone. You'll find shallow and protected reefs playing host to hundreds of species of fish and coral and plenty of cool creatures. Plus, classic Maldivian diving with fast-paced currents, big fish, and spectacular underwater formations. The atoll plays host to some very exciting marine megafauna, and lucky divers can spot turtles, sharks, and even reef manta rays all year round. Experienced buddy teams can also embark on self-guided adventures on the island's house reef.
