"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."

"Best holiday ever. Absolutely amazing hotel in unspoilt tropical paradise. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"Amazing, excellent hotel, facilities, and staff!"

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

"The only thing I didn’t like is they seemed to worry so much about all the extra costs and there is a lot of that. Otherwise the property is great service is good as well"

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

"Absolutely wonderful! Villas were beautiful! The most gorgeous bathrooms and the best views! The service was impeccable. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. "

"If you arrive at Malé Airport, you’ll need to book a seaplane through You&Me, which will take you to the island. The resort has a dedicated seaplane lounge with drinks and snacks, and a resort rep will meet you on arrival and departure. At You&Me, we were warmly welcomed with cold cloths and a welcome drink. The island is small; a buggy tour only takes a few minutes, and you can walk around it in about 15-20 minutes. We stayed in Dolphin Villa with pool (number 509), with direct access to the sea and a private pool to cool off afterward—perfect for sunset views and photos. Villas on the opposite side face sunrise but don’t have pools. The room was great and cleaned twice daily by excellent staff. The only downside was the loud air conditioning; the fan above the bed wasn’t comfortable to leave on overnight. We recommend booking all-inclusive, covering most restaurants except H20. Some items aren’t part of all-inclusive, so be sure to ask. There are five restaurants: • Sands – Main restaurant, no reservation needed; set menu with daily specials, open for breakfast and dinner. • Green Carpet – Poolside lunch and drinks, no reservation needed. • La Pasta – Italian food, great pizza and tiramisu; reservations required. • Rising Sun – Teppanyaki with a chef cooking in front of you; fun and delicious. • H20 – Underwater restaurant with amazing views. There’s plenty to do, including free scuba lessons, kayak rentals, and water sports. Overall, a magical place!"

"We had such a memorable honeymoon at this stunning resort, full of extremely kind staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. My wife lost her wedding ring one evening and the entire resort staff - from our main host, Kunal, to the room maintenance team and the security manager - went out of their way to help us find the ring, and to our utmost surprise and happiness, the staff actually succeeded in finding the ring the next day. We cannot recommend with any more enthusiasm this fabulous resort, for its extremely nice room, restaurants, activities, and most of all the kindest staff I’ve ever met. We extend our sincere appreciation to our main host Kunal, the security manager Anwar, our room maintenance host Imaad, and the restaurant staffs including Nuwan and Vicky. When we visit Maldives again in the future, we would definitely stay at Emerald Faarufushi again and we have already recommend this resort to all of our friends who are considering vacation to Maldives. 100/100 stunning experience, period."
