On Sunday, October 1st, the 5-star Deluxe All-Inclusive Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, affiliated with The Leading Hotels of the World, will mark a significant milestone - its one-year anniversary since its triumphant reopening under The Emerald Collection. This celebration not only commemorates a year of exceptional achievements but also promises a day of excitement and revelry for all its guests.
Over the past 12 months, the Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa has been on a meteoric rise, achieving an astonishing average occupancy rate of 85%. A significant portion of its guests hail from Italy, the UK, and Germany, contributing 45% of total bookings (with 15% each). The rest of the world makes up the remaining 55%, truly establishing the resort's global allure. Its reputation for luxury and excellence is underscored by its place among the top 10 resorts for guest satisfaction on TripAdvisor and an impressive Booking.com rating of 9.8.
To mark this momentous occasion and set the stage for another year of triumphs, the resort has planned a vibrant celebration that is open to all guests on October 1st. The festivities begin with a splash, featuring an exhilarating Water Sports Show and Free Trial Diving session. Guests can plunge into the realm of aquatic adventure, either on a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) or by exploring the vibrant coral reefs beneath the crystal-clear waters.
As the day unfolds, the celebrations continue with a delightful Choco Swiss Roll Class at the Aqua Restaurant, where culinary creativity knows no bounds. In the early afternoon, guests can put their mixology skills to the test during an enchanting Cocktail Masterclass at the Eclipse Bar, offering mesmerizing ocean views.
For those with a competitive spirit, a thrilling showdown awaits at 5 p.m. on the padel court, where guests can challenge the resort's General Manager, Patrick De Staercke, to an epic match. As twilight casts its glow upon the island, the true revelry begins at 7 p.m. with a lively Cocktail Party at the Sunset Pool Bar. All are invited to raise a glass and toast to the resort's remarkable journey over the past year!
The celebration continues with a sumptuous Gala Dinner, followed by a vibrant Pink DJ Party that will keep guests dancing beneath the starry Maldivian skies until the early hours.
Simone Scarapicchia, Chief Commercial Officer of The Emerald Collection, expresses their delight with the resort's first 12 months of operation. "Since our opening on October 1, 2022, and up to April, we have recorded a constant occupancy of around 85%. Our Deluxe All-Inclusive formula, coupled with attentive but unobtrusive refined service and the elegance of the villas and common areas, have immediately captured the hearts of key European markets."
Scarapicchia also shares exciting news about future enhancements. "Among the new additions coming in 2024, we have expanded the beach surrounding the island and created a new category of over-the-water villas: the Sunset Water Villa with a pool, offering priceless views of the daily sunsets that paint the waters around Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa in vibrant shades of pink and orange."
The one-year anniversary of Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa promises not only a grand celebration but also a glimpse of the bright future that awaits this luxurious gem in the heart of the Maldives.
