We chose Emerald Faarufushi Resort as the destination for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be an absolute dream come true. Our 4-night stay at the Beach Villa with Pool, coupled with the exceptional service of every staffs, as well as our wonderful host, Kunal, made our honeymoon an experience beyond compare. As we stepped onto the pristine shores of the resort, we were instantly captivated by the ethereal beauty of our Villa. The villa, adorned with luxurious amenities, seamlessly combined modern comforts with the natural allure of the Maldives. The private pool, surrounded by lush greenery and mere steps away from the sparkling ocean, offered us moments of intimacy and tranquility. Throughout our stay, Kunal, our gracious host, deserves special commendation for making our stay truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that instantly made us feel at home. Kunal's attention to detail was impeccable, and he went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our honeymoon was flawless. Kunal made us feel like royalty, and we are immensely grateful for his genuine and personalized service. The Resort also offers a plethora of activities and excursions, and we took full advantage of the water sports and snorkeling opportunities to explore the breathtaking coral reefs and encounter exotic marine species. Each adventure was expertly organized by the resort, ensuring our safety and enjoyment at all times. The culinary experiences at Emerald Faarufushi Resort were simply sensational. The resort's restaurants and bars offered a diverse range of delectable dishes, each prepared with the finest ingredients and presented with artistic flair. Beyond the exquisite dining experiences, the resort's attention to sustainability and environmental conservation added an extra layer of significance to our stay. Overall, this is heaven of heavens that I cannot recommend enough.

This is a true review that comes straight from my heart and is not 1% sponsored. Ifuru Resort is a 5-star luxury resort rated 100 out of 100 that I highly recommend. The facilities, underwater environment, restaurant, bar, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and beauty of the island were all excellent. There are no water villas, but the beach villa is very close to the beach. As soon as you enter the water, you can see colorful corals and giant clams, and the house reef is close and great. We snorkeled every day and had long free swims with turtles, eagle rays, and black tip sharks. It's like this even if you just go out in front of the beach villa instead of taking a paid excursion. First of all, Ifuru Resort, newly opened in 2023! Located in Raa Atoll, Maldives, we traveled by seaplane + speedboat. Since it's a new resort, there aren't many reviews, so I was worried and decided to refer to the resort's official Instagram and YouTube introductions. Among Koreans, we seemed to be the first to visit. When I actually went there, it was a 5-star resort so great that I could give it 100 out of 100! Stylish and luxurious room conditions and facilities (even the hair dryer is Dyson), truly warm and friendly staff (I still really miss Ari, Rocky, angel, Juli, Nikki, Quineee, kuva, Rudy isuru, muni, RN Adhla) , Mode, a very kind female employee at the waterfront restaurant who always had her hair neatly braided (I suddenly can't remember her name), and Rochelle, a very kind and warm general manager, who remembered and looked after each and every resort customer, and cared for and loved the employees. We were impressed by the appearance, and the resort staff were very courteous and friendly, as if they were guests invited to their own home, and they did their best to take care of us. That's why we really want to go to Ifuru Resort again. I still look at videos and photos taken at Ifuru every day.

When we arrived at Male Airport, Coracora's colleagues would take us to Seaplane to check in, and then we would go to Seaplane's lounge to rest and wait for boarding. (Seaplane needs to pay for it at your own expense and email coracora to arrange it). Seaplane takes about 1 hour to Coracora. Upon arrival, we will receive a welcome drink and a butler will take us to visit the island facilities. The island is very small but well-equipped. The most recommended is the restaurant on the island. You can order all the food on the menu (all inclusive packages in some resorts limit you to order 3-4 dishes), which is not enough. You can also order grab and go to bring food back to your room at no additional charge. There is also a Coffee bar and a Drink bar where you can order drinks at any time. The snorkeling reef is ok for novices, but not bad. Snorkeling equipment is provided free of charge on the island, but be sure to check whether it is damaged before borrowing it, because if it is damaged, you will be charged a hefty fee (I fell into the trap T^T). But overall, I would recommend this resort and it is very cost-effective. 

my wife and I had a perfect honeymoon at You&Me. our host, Nittu, was fantastic with us throughout our stay and was always very attentive and helpful so that we lacked nothing and we had the best of experiences. The food in any of the restaurants is also fantastic and has a huge variety. The experience at the H2O restaurant (underwater) is exceptional but don't have high expectations about the food, it has to improve a lot, it has a very low quality compared to the place/restaurant. In conclusion, don't waste a lot of time looking and comparing different resorts for your honeymoon, at You&Me you will find the perfect place. thank you so much for everything

6 time returnee to the Maldives, i personally think Joali has the best balance of what we look for as a family. It is luxurious, it is manicured, it has infrastructure, the service is extraordinary but it’s not in your face. Quiet luxury at its best. What Joali has that other resorts don’t is the immaculate and very accessible beach. The beach is extraordinary. It is large, the water is calm, transparent, 30 degreees. The sand is powder soft and without coral pieces! Check before booking about the coral because some resorts have a almost dangerous entrance into the sea. Other resorts have had to build rock walls in front of the OW villas, Joali hasn’t. The best villas are the sunset OW starting from 58 upwards. These face the sand bank which children can very easy swim to unaccompanied. The staff are divine, they don’t feel subservient but rather very happy to have you there and very happy to meet all your requests. Children are adored and kept very busy with a huge array of activities. But it doesn’t feel like a resort over run with kids. After visiting the likes of Soneva, i would say Joali kids program is better suited to smaller children maybe primary school ages and below. But this is an island where you can allow the children to roam free as there is a huge staff to guest ratio so they will always be watched. I especially loved how the staff would without being asked come and play and set up games with the kids. This was brilliant. Perhaps they could build a tree top area or a bigger kids adventure style set up. Not necessarily needed but just feedback. Food is good, the festive celebrations are triumphant. There is so much good quality food it’s almost overwhelming. Eat the local flavors, speak to the chef the local lobsters cooked Maldivian style are delicious! The villas are large spacious and most importantly they run horizontally across the lagoon. That way you are only meters from the ocean at all times. The one bed OW easily fits two children in the living room. Excellent on all counts, it’s my favourite “all rounder” resort. Compliments to management and the staff you are very kind hearted people.
