Emerald Maldives was 10 out of 10 stars for my husband and I! We stayed at the Water Villa with Jacuzzi. From the moment we got in touch with their Reservation team prior to the arrival, I asked a bunch of questions from seaplane, weather, food/restaurant options, etc. The moment we arrived at Male airport, we had someone take us to the Seaplane ticket counter, then to the shuttle bus to take us to the seaplane terminal. Once we arrived at the seaplane terminal, we got to enjoy an hour ish at the lounge till our departure. Our seaplane ride was about 45-50 minutes as we had to stop at 2 resorts prior to arriving at Emerald.
We arrived at the resort and we had a nice welcome with some music and champagne. Once we relaxed for a bit, we met with our villa host Shiham and he took us to the check-in reception then took a quick tour of the island then to our water villa.
Everything was great! From the friendly staffs to the food, we enjoyed everything! The villas were super clean and I cannot thank all the staffs there as everything went smoothly from start to finish. They also decorated the bed to say “Welcome” with leaves and champagne when we arrived and then the day before we were leaving, they decorated saying “Happy Honeymoon!” and also they added some flowers in the bathtub. We hope we can visit again one day but I definitely recommend Emerald Maldives!!
