Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa
What you’ll get at Emerald Maldives
Emerald Maldives is one of the few true all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives. The Deluxe All-Inclusive package includes:
- Unlimited meals at four restaurants—Aquà (buffet), Amazònico (Latin American), Le Asiatique (Asian), and the Beach Club Grill (beachfront seafood and salads)
- Premium wines, spirits, cocktails, and mocktails at all bars and restaurants—over 80 wine options, served by sommeliers at every meal
- Daily minibar restocked with beer, wine, and snacks
- Twice-daily housekeeping and turndown service
- Access to the dive centre, water sports, and fitness facilities
- Bicycles for most guests, including children’s sizes
- Complimentary meals and activities for up to one child under 14 per paying adult
The resort’s 120 villas are split evenly between beach and overwater. Each is around 2,000 square feet, with a large bathroom that includes a walk-in shower, outdoor shower, and bathtub for two. Overwater villas have direct lagoon access via a ladder, and many come with private pools. Beach villas face either the sunrise or sunset side of the island—sunrise is quieter and better for snorkelling, while sunset has a longer, shallower beach.
How to get a custom quote
To give you an accurate quote, I need a few details:
- Travel dates—Raa Atoll is a 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé, so I’ll check availability and transfer schedules
- Villa preference—beach, overwater, or family villa (two bedrooms with a shared pool)
- Number of adults and children—kids under 14 stay and dine for free, but I’ll note ages to confirm
- Any special requests—romantic beach dinner, diving excursions, or spa treatments
Once I have those, I’ll send you a tailored quote with current rates, transfer options, and any promotions that apply. There’s no obligation—just the facts so you can decide.
Why message Fede instead of booking online
Online travel sites can’t answer the questions that matter: Is the sunrise or sunset beach better for snorkelling? Which villas are closest to the kids’ club? Can you upgrade to a villa with a living room for a longer stay? I’ve visited Emerald Maldives and know the island layout, so I can match you to the right villa and package. Message me on WhatsApp at +1 (561) 955-0414, and I’ll reply within a few hours, even if I’m in a different time zone.
What to expect when you arrive
Emerald Maldives greets you at Malé International Airport. Staff escort you to the seaplane terminal, where your luggage is checked in for the 40-minute flight to Raa Atoll. Upon landing, a butler meets you with a welcome drink and takes you to your villa. The resort’s mobile app lets you book restaurant reservations, excursions, and spa treatments—your butler can pre-book these for you if you prefer.
The island has two main beaches: sunrise, which has a quick drop-off for snorkelling, and sunset, with a longer, shallower lagoon and a beach bar. Bicycles are provided for each villa, making it easy to explore the 600m x 390m island. The Dolphin Club offers indoor and outdoor activities for children, while adults can choose from diving, fishing, or wine tastings with the resort’s sommeliers.
Frequently asked questions
Is the all-inclusive package truly unlimited?
Yes. The Deluxe All-Inclusive package covers all meals at the four restaurants, premium wines and spirits, minibar restocks, and most excursions. The only extras are lobster, a few premium wines, and private beach dinners—your butler will explain these when you arrive.
Which villas are best for families?
The family beach villas have two bedrooms, a shared patio, and a large pool. They’re private, surrounded by trees, and close to the Dolphin Club. If you’re travelling with older children, the superior beach or water villas (with a living room) are also a good option.
Can I snorkel from the beach?
Yes. The house reef is easily accessible from the shore, especially on the sunrise side of the island. The water drops off quickly there, so you don’t have to swim far to see marine life.
What’s the best way to get to Emerald Maldives?
The most common route is a 40-minute seaplane from Malé. If you prefer, you can take a domestic flight to Ifuru Airport followed by a 25-minute speedboat transfer. I’ll arrange whichever option works best for your schedule and budget.
Are there any blackout dates for promotions?
