Edged by a 1.2 kilometre white sand beach and surrounded by shades of blue, Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa is a dreamlike retreat designed for discerning travellers. Encapsulating barefoot elegance, sleekly modern villas are decorated in warm wood tones and natural stone with thoughtful luxuries like a fully stocked in-villa mini bar – all but the entry level beach villas come with a private pool! From the moment you step foot on the island, you’ll sink into tropical bliss with unmistakable ease, pampering yourself with Thai and Bali-inspired treatments in the spa’s treehouse-style huts, lazing beside the ocean-facing swimming pool and sipping on cocktails during golden hour at the overwater jetty bar. But if you feel like a break from relaxation, you can take part in one of the many aquatic adventures available – this is the Maldives after all – from complimentary kite surfing to diving amid colourful fish.
