"Most amazingly beautiful island, totally relaxing. Holiday was made extra special by all the staff who were so nice and friendly. Would not hesitate in returning to this beautiful island."

"We already had extremely high expectations both of the Maldives and Faarafushi but OH MY GOODNESS did Faarafushi exceed those expectations! It is truly heaven on earth. The rooms are divine, the sea life is out of this world, the food is delectable, the cocktails and wine selection are to die for, the spa is bliss, but the staff is what makes this place even more special than you can imagine! Such kind and friendly people! Sundar and Ankur are both fantastic cocktail makers and kind and funny people. Sundar made us the most special cocktails and led a wonderful cocktail class and Ankur led a super interesting molecular mixology class, neither of which you should miss! Vishal gave “turn down service” a whole new meaning with his incredible decorations, and also treated us to birthday decorations for my husband’s birthday and honeymoon decorations. True works of art! We don’t know our masseurs name unfortunately but we had the best Balinese couples massage of our lives! Priyanka was our waitress a couple of nights and was just the sweetest and most attentive waitress one could imagine! We also loved Mohammed and Rohit who told us a lot about the Maldives and Rohit helped us plan our trip to Agra (where we were off to next). And finally our INCREDIBLE host Fayaz who was simply amazing! Organised everything to perfection, always checked in on us and made sure we were happy with everything and just made the whole experience perfection. Run don’t walk to this resort! It is HEAVEN!"

"My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Raaya! The free transfers as well was a great perk. We were greeted at the airport in Male and were taken to where we were supposed to go for the seaplane transfer. The resort itself was gorgeous, everything about it was incredible, staff was super nice and helpful. We had Saif as our guide throughout our stay and he was great. "

"A great all inclusive property to stay at. All the staff are really welcoming & polite. Our host was Elena and she was really fabulous in making sure we enjoy our stay at Emerald and helped to create all itineraries at the resort."

"We did Joali for a 15yr anniversary trip. It is a long trip from North America but well worth it! This place is heaven. The website is actually really understated, it’s hard to describe how beautiful and luxurious things are once you arrive. You get a personal butler to meet all of your needs and arrange things. The rooms are huge and gorgeously appointed. All the staff are amazing and the food was absolutely phenomenal. I do gluten-free and they were able to customize anything. I wanted on the menu. The scuba diving is great and the equipment is all brand new and top-notch, including giving your own dive computer. There’s amazing water sports, including a private yacht to Charter, Sea-Doo and all kinds of manual water sports. We played Padel and tennis. Highly highly recommend."

"Great staff, food was delicious, beautiful island. Just wish the bar fridge in the room was colder. Highly recommend this resort !"

"Amazing stay at this fabulous resort. Gluten free was well catered for. Would return in a heartbeat. "

"Couldn't have been better, the staff and hotel were both fantastic."

"Everything was perfect. Been twice now. Will try to return again for sure"
