The Resort at a Glance
House Reef Off the Beach Deluxe All-Inclusive · 5 Restaurants Treehouse Spa in the Palms Leading Hotels of the World

A 7-hectare Raa Atoll island where the house reef starts off the beach.

Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa sits on a 7-hectare private island in Raa Atoll, in the north of the Maldives, about 45 minutes by seaplane from Malé. A 1.2 km beach runs around the island, and the house reef in its 100-hectare lagoon is reachable from the sand, so snorkeling doesn't wait on a boat. There are 80 villas, 38 on the beach and 42 over the water along the jetty, and 70 of them have a private pool. The Deluxe All-Inclusive plan covers 5 restaurants and 2 bars, from Mediterranean dinners over the lagoon at Mediterraneo to Brazilian churrasco on the beach at Carnivorous. The spa's eight treatment rooms are raised treehouse-style among the palms, and the island is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Best For

Couples who want a private pool and a reef they can snorkel straight from the beach, and families who want a two-bedroom beach villa, a kids club for ages 3 to 12 and five restaurants on one all-inclusive plan.

The 100-hectare lagoon around Faarufushi has its own coral reef, and you can wade in from the beach with a mask and fins rather than wait for a boat. The water villas add a second way in, with steps from each deck straight down into the lagoon.
Every water villa has a private infinity pool along its deck over the lagoon, and the beach villas with pool have a plunge pool a few steps from the sand. Only the 10 Beach Villas come without one.
Dine around Aqua, Beach Club Grill, Mediterraneo, Le Asiatique and Carnivorous, then end the day at Sunset Pool & Bar or Eclipse Bar. The range runs from Mediterranean dinners over the water to teppanyaki cooked in front of you and Brazilian churrasco on the beach, so a week here rarely repeats a meal.
Emerald Spa sits in the green centre of the island, with eight air-conditioned treatment rooms raised treehouse-style among the palms. Therapists work in Thai and Balinese traditions with Elemis products, and there's a steam room, plunge pools and a yoga pavilion alongside.
Multilingual staff run indoor and outdoor activities for children aged 3 to 12, and the outdoor playground has a mini pool, a splash park, a trampoline and climbing frames. The two-bedroom Family Beach Villas with Pool give children their own bedroom and bathroom.

Indoor and outdoor activities for ages 3 to 12, run by multilingual staff. The outdoor playground has a mini pool, a splash park, a trampoline and climbing frames.
Getting There
Seaplane Transfer
About 45 minutes from Malé International Airport

From Malé International Airport you cross to the seaplane terminal for a flight of about 45 minutes north to Raa Atoll, flying low over the atolls and lagoons on the way. Raa Atoll can also be reached by a domestic flight followed by a 5-minute speedboat to the island.

FAQs
There's no minimum age — children of all ages are welcome, and this is not an adults-only island. The Dolphin Kids Club runs activities for ages 3 to 12, and the two-bedroom Family Beach Villas with Pool give children their own bedroom and bathroom.

Your Deluxe All-Inclusive package lets you dine around all five restaurants. Aqua serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and Beach Club Grill serves lunch; Mediterraneo, Le Asiatique and Carnivorous are dinner restaurants that need a reservation, so book them early in your stay.
All meals across the five restaurants, drinks at both bars, and a minibar restocked daily. The three dinner restaurants are part of the plan, but they need a reservation and some premium menu choices carry a supplement. In-villa dining, spa treatments, diving and excursions beyond your included dolphin cruise are charged separately.
There's no separate Indian restaurant, and the resort doesn't publish a dedicated Indian menu. Vegetarian options are available, starting with Aqua's buffet. If Indian meals matter to you, tell us before you book and we'll confirm with the resort first.
