The world-renowned 5-star Deluxe All-Inclusive Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, affiliated with  The Leading Hotels of the World, is proud to announce its one-year anniversary since its re-opening and celebrate  the resort's incredible success.  

Over the past 12 months, the Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa has soared to new heights, boasting an astonishing  average occupancy rate of 85%. Italy, the UK and Germany account for 45% of total bookings (with 15% each),  while the remaining 55% of guests come from the rest of the world. This remarkable achievement in international  markets has solidified its status as a true gem in the world of luxury travel. The resort already ranked on the top  10 resorts for guests’ satisfaction on TripAdvisor and a score of 9.8 on Booking.com. 

To commemorate this momentous occasion and usher in another year of success, the resort is throwing a dazzling  celebration open to all its guests on Sunday, October 1. 

The festivities will kick off with a splash in the morning, featuring an exhilarating Water Sports Show and Free Trial  Diving session. Guests can dive into the world of aquatic adventure, paddling on a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) or  explore the vibrant coral reefs beneath the crystal-clear waters. 

In the early afternoon, the celebrations will continue with a delightful Choco Swiss Roll Class at the Aqua  Restaurant, where culinary creativity will go beyond bounds. Later, guests can test their mixology skills during an  enchanting Cocktail Masterclass at the Eclipse Bar, offering mesmerising ocean views. 

For those with a competitive spirit, a thrilling rendezvous awaits at 5 p.m. on the padel court, where guests can  challenge the resort's General Manager, Patrick De Staercke, to an epic showdown. As twilight descends upon the  island, the true revelry begins at 7 p.m. with a lively Cocktail Party at the Sunset Pool Bar. Everyone will be invited  to raise a glass and toast to the resort's incredible journey over the past year! The celebration will then transition  into a sumptuous Gala Dinner, followed by a vibrant Pink DJ Party that will keep guests dancing under the stars  until the early hours. 

"We are delighted with the results achieved in these first 12 months of operation," says Simone Scarapicchia, Chief  Commercial Officer of The Emerald Collection. "Since our opening on 1 October 2022 and up to April, we have  recorded a constant occupancy of around 85% and the forecast for Q4 2023 consolidates on this average. Our  Deluxe All-Inclusive formula, in addition to attentive but non-invasive refined service and the sophistication of the  villas and common areas, have immediately won over the relevant European markets.

Among the new additions coming in 2024, we have made improvements to make the beach surrounding the island  even wider and created a new category of over-the-water villas: the Sunset Water Villa with pool, which provides  priceless views of the sunsets that each day lights up the waters surrounding Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa in  pink and orange."
