During the early afternoon, the celebrations continue with a delightful Choco Swiss Roll Class at the Aqua Restaurant, where culinary creativity knows no bounds. Later, guests can showcase their mixology prowess 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 is invited to raise a glass and toast to the resort’s incredible journey over the past year! The celebration then transitions 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 thrilled with the accomplishments attained in our inaugural 12 months of operation,” states Simone Scarapicchia, Chief Commercial Officer, The Emerald Collection. “Since our inauguration on 1st October 2022 through April, we have maintained a consistent occupancy rate of approximately 85%, and our projections for Q4 2023 align with this average.

Looking ahead to 2024, we are introducing enhancements, notably expanding the island’s beach area and introducing a novel category of over-the-water villas: the Sunset Water Villa with a pool, providing unparalleled views of the daily sunsets that illuminate the waters surrounding Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa in hues of pink and orange.”
