Ifuru (IFU): Hotels in Ifuru

"We had an absolutely amazing time – just the way we imagined our honeymoon! The Ifuru Island Resort made it truly special. We stayed in Beach Villa 321, which had a particularly beautiful beach access with a rectangular layout, allowing us to relax comfortably in our private garden. The open-air bathroom and direct beach access were perfect.We were there over Halloween, and the celebrations delighted us – from the foam pool party in the afternoon to the festive dinner and outdoor party in the evening. The whole staff was dressed up and created a great atmosphere.Ravi from Sri Lanka did an outstanding job with housekeeping, and the food at six different venues was excellent. The buffet offered delicious themed nights, and the à la carte restaurants like the Waterfront provided top quality and great service, especially from our waiter Sandesh.Evenings at the Hubba Hubba Bar with live acts like belly dancing, LED and fire shows, plus great service from Sumit and Chamod, were highlights. Our personal buddy Suaid was fantastic and took care of everything.As part of our honeymoon, we enjoyed a complimentary 50-minute couples massage. With all the water sports, snorkeling, and excursions, it’s impossible to get bored. We did two snorkeling trips as beginners – both unforgettable.All in all, two weeks in paradise – the most beautiful vacation of our lives."

"Wir durften als Familie einige wunderschöne Tage im Raaya by Atmosphere verbringen – und es hat uns rundum begeistert. Schon beim Empfang wurden wir herzlich begrüsst, und wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, stilvoll gestaltet und fügt sich perfekt in die natürliche Umgebung ein. Unser Familien-Villa war grosszügig, modern und liebevoll eingerichtet. Besonders schön war der direkte Zugang zum Strand – ein echtes Highlight! Das kulinarische Angebot hat uns ebenfalls überzeugt: abwechslungsreich, frisch und auf hohem Niveau. Die Auswahl war gross, und auch unsere Kinder fanden immer etwas Leckeres. Ein grosses Kompliment an das gesamte Team – alle Mitarbeitenden waren ausgesprochen freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Uns hat Lester betreut und hat uns immer viel geholfen und Ausflüge koordiniert. Man merkt, dass hier Gastfreundschaft wirklich gelebt wird. Auch die Freizeitangebote waren top: vom Schnorcheln über Kajakfahren bis hin zu Aktivitäten für Kinder – es war für alle etwas dabei. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und danken dem ganzen Raaya by Atmosphere-Team für diese wunderbare Zeit. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!"

"We just returned from our first trip to the Maldives – and Emerald Faarufushi was the perfect choice for our honeymoon. Despite a flight delay and an unexpected overnight stay in Malé, the Emerald team stepped in immediately: they replied to our email within minutes and even sent someone to meet us at the airport late at night. We felt truly looked after from the start. Arriving on the island, we were absolutely blown away. It’s stunning – peaceful, pristine, and beautifully maintained. The gardens are cared for all day by kind staff, and the island smells of flowers. A true tropical dream. Our villa was spotless, stylish, and extremely comfortable. Housekeeping by Wayan was excellent. The beach and crystal-clear ocean were simply breathtaking. We also treated ourselves to a massage at the spa – pure bliss. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff’s warmth and dedication. Our host Aslaan was always available via WhatsApp – kind, thoughtful, and full of surprises: from a dolphin tour to a romantic flower bath. When I injured my foot, he picked us up within minutes and arranged a doctor right away. This level of care was present everywhere – in the restaurants, bars, spa, and beyond. Everyone we met was genuinely welcoming and professional. This trip was a dream come true, and thanks to Emerald Faarufushi, it became reality. Truly paradise on earth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! "
