Emerald Maldives Resort & SP

Designed by architect <a href="http://www.edpoole.com/">Edward David Poole</a>, each villa exudes contemporary and tropical influences to create modern and unique interiors. From the outside, the villas blend harmoniously with the backdrop of the serene, tropical island and on the inside awaits nothing short of a masterpiece. Poole&rsquo;s striking design includes enormous sparkling, white marble bathrooms with lavish silver mirrors and colour blocked bedrooms with exotic marine life wall art to compliment.&nbsp;

All guests stay on deluxe all-inclusive basis, which means when they arrive at Emerald Maldives, they don&rsquo;t have to worry about a thing. Deluxe all-inclusive allows guests to dine at any of the four resort&rsquo;s restaurants as many times as they like during their stay. They can help themselves to the villa mini bar which is restocked every day, enjoy premium spirits and all non-motorised water sports at no additional cost.&nbsp;

When it comes to dining, Emerald hasn&rsquo;t missed a trick, covering cuisine from every continent there are four fantastic restaurants to choose from, each with their own menu, style, theme and ambience. Boasting the first and only South American restaurant in the Maldives is the popular <a href="https://www.emerald-maldives.com/restaurants/amazonico">Amazonico</a>, serving dishes like ceviche with passion fruit dressing and meats and fish from the huge open fire grill which takes centre stage in this atmospheric restaurant. Nestled in the centre of the island amongst the palm trees, there are red lanterns which are strategically placed to mirror the effect of an open campfire, offering guests an authentic rainforest experience! Carefully curated by head Chef Aldo Cadu, other culinary highlights include <a href="https://www.emerald-maldives.com/restaurants/asiatique">Asiatique&rsquo;</a>s live cooking shows in front of the teppanyaki grill and fresh Maldivian lobster at the <a href="https://www.emerald-maldives.com/restaurants/beach-club-grill">Beach Club Grill Restaurant</a>. The signature <a href="https://www.emerald-maldives.com/restaurants/aqua">Aqua Restaurant</a> offers bare-foot luxury at its finest, and with a variety of cooking stations chefs are able to bring guest&rsquo;s culinary dreams to life.&nbsp;

The resort has prioritised sustainability by using long-lasting Langhi Langhi leaves to build the canopies, and solar panels on every villa to power the entire resort&rsquo;s hot water. In a bid to reduce single-use plastic waste, the resort uses paper straws as well as glass bottles and the island is home to a recyclable water irrigation system and composting facility.
