Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa: All-Inclusive Island Luxury in Raa Atoll

Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa is an all-inclusive private-island resort on Faarufushi in the northern Raa Atoll, a Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader that balances the ease of an all-inclusive stay with genuine style. Beach and overwater villas ring a vivid lagoon and house reef, a short seaplane hop from Malé.

The dining is unusually varied for a single island. Aqua serves an Italian, Japanese and Chinese buffet; the overwater Mediterraneo offers refined Mediterranean cooking above the lagoon; Carnivorous is an al fresco Brazilian churrascaria; the Beach Club Grill handles pizza, pasta and the stone grill; and Le Asiatique adds a pan-Asian teppanyaki with a show.

For all-inclusive island luxury with real culinary range, Faarufushi stands out.
