Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa

Afzal took us around the island during our stay, and here he is showing us the grand two-bedroom Presidential Water Villa. We arrived on a rainy afternoon, so we had to cocoon ourselves inside the villa for a while before we could finally step out and explore.

The food—and the sheer variety—completely bowled us over. The evening entertainment, on the other hand, got a little too relaxing! 😄

Cycling around the jetties was quite a challenge, especially with the strong winds blowing across the island. And honestly, two nights felt like far too little time here. We could have easily done with a couple more.
