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.
We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Amari Raaya. Everyone went above and beyond to provide the most superb service. Upon arrival, the representative Zaha already waited for us at the jetty while we were approaching. Her proactive approach truly made a positive impression by assisting us with seaplane transfer and even contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition on the way back. The entire team at Amari did everything to create a memorable stay for us, from Buggy service Nalaka who could remember our names to Housekeeping Saain who made the room twice a day as well as did an amazing job on the bed decoration for my parents anniversary; from All Day Dining restaurant Mr.Himanshu and Mr. Haleem and their team to Ampers&nd’s Egptian staff who showed outstanding hospitality and attentive care.
The environment is extremely beautiful. We could even snorkel near our water villa. Food has a great variety especially a good combination of Asian cuisine and international gourmet food. We feel that the value received is on par with what we anticipated. Front Office Mr. Ali and his team’s dedication in ensuring our satisfaction is evident in each interaction, making us feel like valued guests and part of the community. Any enquiry is dealt with in a timely manner. I’d also love to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Mr Haleem, Mr. Himanshu, Julius, Adi from all day dining; Nalaka, Sajid, Thooif, and everyone from Buggy service for providing such convenient transportation which has made getting around so much easier under the sun; Amir, Kero from Ampers&nd Sunset Bar who are so genuinely kind and friendly; Our island host Achala who made reservations for us to ensure a hassle free vacation; and many other staff’s names we can’t recall.
Our experience at Amari surpassed our expectations thanks to its exemplary cleanliness, upscale decoration, and most importantly, outstanding hospitality. It was really touching to see everyone came to the seaplane platform and said goodbye. We highly recommend guests seeking a luxurious with attention to detail to consider Amari Raaya.
Our honeymoon at JOALI Maldives was an absolute dream, made even more special by Nouha, our amazing jadugar. The resort is breathtaking—every detail is beautifully designed, blending luxury with nature. From the stunning overwater villas to the lush surroundings, it’s pure paradise. The entire staff is professional, kind, and attentive, but Nouha truly stood out. She’s so thoughtful and caring, always surprising us with personal touches and making sure every moment was perfect. JOALI is the ultimate destination for a romantic, unforgettable getaway. Thank you, Nouha and the JOALI team, for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever!

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.
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.

It was an amazing vacation! More than a month has passed, but bright and warm memories still keep me warm. Check in was quick and with a big surprise! Instead of a beach villa I was offered a water villa. At first I doubted, but then I was very grateful for such a gift. If your goal is privacy, then a water villa is what you need. Main advantages: 1. You will really have privacy. 2. The sun terrace with their own private space to relax with direct access to the lagoon. Two steps and the whole water world is under your feet. 3. Free access to a la carte restaurants (Dinner in an Italian restaurant right on the sand by torchlight with prosecco and tiramisu. It's a delight!). And so it is possible to enumerate ad infinitum. The island is very beautiful and full of green and flowers. When you walk along the beach or along the paths, you get the feeling that you are in two parallel worlds. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and ready to help you with any questions. If you are relaxing alone, believe me, you will not be bored😊. If someone thinks that the Maldives is just a beach and snorkeling, then he or she is greatly mistaken. The recreation program is so varied that you can dance incendiary at the party, and watch the national Maldivian dances and spend a wonderful evening in the bar enjoying live music. And finally, my vacation would not have been so complete if I had not taken the risk of going to private yoga classes. This is worth it! For a person inexperienced with yoga and meditative practices, this was a revelation! In just a couple of classes, thanks to Aditi, you begin to feel your body and your mind is filled with calmness and clarity. I highly recommend individual classes to everyone, especially when they take place on the sea edge with a sunset view😊 Thanks to all management of the hotel for the high level of service and the feeling that the guest is the most important here!
