Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa - Deluxe All Inclusive

Liked: Our stay at the Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa was nothing short of magical, largely thanks to the incredible team that went above and beyond every single day to make our vacation unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in luxury, but what truly sets this resort apart is its genuine hospitality. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to our amazing host, Shafiu, whose flawless attention to detail, proactive care, and constant dedication made us feel completely at home and entirely pampered throughout our entire stay. The dining experiences were a highlight of our trip, elevated by an exceptional service team. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our waiters, Haikal, Azu, and Sam, as well as our wonderful waitress, Seida. Their warmth, professionalism, and prompt attentiveness at every meal truly stood out. They anticipated our every need with a smile, making every dining moment feel exclusive and personal. A major highlight for us was the wine selection, guided by the brilliant sommelier, Bright. His outstanding recommendations for white wines were absolutely spot-on, perfectly pairing with our meals and introducing us to some truly remarkable labels. To Shafiu, Haikal, Azu, Sam, Bright, Seida, and indeed every single member of the resort team—thank you for your outstanding service, your smiles, and your dedication to excellence. You didn't just provide a service; you created beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. We cannot wait to return to this paradise!

Liked: A genuinely memorable stay I had a wonderful time here, and what made the stay especially memorable was the people. A special thank you to Amaan, our housekeeper, and to Haya and Summer from the Dive Centre, who were incredibly warm and thoughtful throughout the stay. The dining experience was a real highlight, especially at Beach Grill Club. The team consistently went above and beyond, including a few gentlemen from India whose names I unfortunately didn’t catch, who arranged a special Indian lunch for me — definitely one of the highlights of the trip. A special mention as well to David, who gave me some excellent and very personal wine recommendations that I really appreciated. Overall, the service felt genuinely warm, personal and thoughtful. Thank you to Amaan, Haya, Summer, David, the Beach Grill Club team, and everyone else who made the stay so special.

Liked: Our stay at Emerald was beyond incredible. It ticked every possible box and even offered things we hadn't realised we would need. From the moment we were met at Malé airport, every worry was taken away and we were welcomed into a completely carefree stay. Our beach villa was impeccable, the room service was fantastic (thank you, Foysel) and our villa host was wonderfully attentive and responsive (thank you, Sid). The house reef, together with the complimentary snorkelling masks and fins, turned every day into an adventure without our having to stray far from the villa. All of the on-site restaurants, as well as the buffet, served meals of the very highest quality. The gym, fitted out with modern Technogym equipment, was a pleasant surprise. The additional activities were equally impressive - we enjoyed two massages and the turtle snorkelling tour. The tour group was refreshingly small (just six of us) with two guides, so each guide looked after only three people, which made the experience feel genuinely personal. All in all, it was a warm, personable and truly memorable experience, and the trip exceeded all of our expectations.

Liked: WOW – from the first moment to the very last! Emerald Maldives exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Our villa was absolutely stunning – spacious, beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable. The bed deserves a special mention: probably one of the most comfortable hotel beds we have ever slept in. The bathroom was amazing, and the outdoor shower was simply wonderful – such a beautiful experience in a tropical setting. The private pool with its wonderfully warm water was perfect, but nothing compares to stepping straight from the villa onto the incredibly soft white sand and into that turquoise sea. Every morning felt like waking up inside a postcard. And then there is the food… WOW! The restaurants are on another level. At times, it honestly felt as though the kitchens were run by seven-star chefs. The quality, presentation, variety and flavours were exceptional. From Asian cuisine to Mediterranean and international dishes, everything we tried was delicious. Food was one of the absolute highlights of our stay. The Deluxe All-Inclusive concept is exactly what luxury all-inclusive should mean. The selection of premium drinks, wines, cocktails and spirits is outstanding, and you never have the feeling that “all-inclusive” means compromising on quality. Quite the opposite. The entire resort is immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. What makes Emerald even more special, however, are the people. Everyone was genuinely kind, warm, attentive and always ready to help, while never being intrusive. The service feels effortless. SID was our guide and he is kind, funny and helpfull. And finally, even the journey becomes part of the experience. The seaplane flight from Malé is spectacular – around 40 minutes above tiny islands, coral reefs and endless shades of turquoise. Instead of feeling like a transfer, it feels like the magnificent opening and closing scene of the holiday. Emerald Maldives is not simply a beautiful resort.

Liked: We had an unforgettable stay at the resort, where we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. The beautiful surroundings, excellent facilities, outstanding food, and exceptional service made our celebration truly special. The genuine warmth and hospitality of the entire team exceeded our expectations. A very special thank you to Amaan, whose exceptional hospitality, genuine care, and attention to every detail made us feel truly welcomed and looked after throughout our stay. His kindness and professionalism made a real difference and will certainly stay with us. We would also like to thank Erin and Haya from the Diving Center, Dina and Liba from the Spa, David, our sommelier, and our wonderful servers Areej and Meraj. Each of them contributed in their own way to making our holiday even more enjoyable and special. Finally, our sincere thanks to Dr. Saurav for his accurate diagnoses, effective treatment, and thoughtful follow-up. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable. We leave with beautiful memories and hope to return one day.

Disliked: Nothing tbh

Liked: We loved everything about this hotel, it felt like we were on a paradise island! We were looked after incredibly well by Wisham who was only a Whatsapp away and helped with so many things, including taking / picking us from the restaurants in the golf buggy (he saved us multiple times during some rain down-pours!) as well as organzing a very special surprise for us on our anniversary. Most of all, Wisham was a pleasure to spend time with - a really wonderful person. In fact, we adored all the staff we interacted with at Emerald resort! They were genuinely kind and cared that we had an amazing experience. The food at the resort was really excellent - we loved everything but the currys in the buffet restaurant were exceptional, as well as the Gala dinner that was organized! Our room in the water villa could not have been better - we had direct access to a beautiful turquoise sea and plenty of space on the deck to relax and enjoy the view. The pool was fantastic too - spotless and surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and day beds. If we go back to the Maldives, I would definitely book here again!
