Virgin rating

The hotel

The adult-only Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa offers a truly serene atmosphere in idyllic island surrounds. Beach Villas and Water Villas are scattered around the island, allowing for peace and tranquility aplenty. Upgrade to a Overwater Villa with Swirl Pool and you’ll have your own private outdoor spa bathtub. Down at the beach is an oceanfront pool and well-being area, aptly named as you’ll feel very well indeed here. You can also spoil yourself to a treatment or two at the Spa Cenvaree, a blissful sanctuary offering Thai massage as well as ancient Ayurvedic treatments to banish any lingering cares. With the resort in such a great location there's a plethora of stunning scuba diving sites, amongst the Maldives’ most sought-after spots, reached within 20 minutes by dhoni. There’s also snorkelling and both non-motorised and motorised water sports to tempt you. Island dining is a treat at the Centara with several superb restaurants to choose from. Oceans Restaurant serves International, Asian and daily themed buffets while Al Khaimah features an authentic Bedouin tent with Middle Eastern-style grilled meats to feast on and Arabic delights. Alternatively, dine Italian style at La Brezza or on Thai fare at Suan Bua, two speciality restaurants that overlook the beachfront pool. Overwater Viu Bar is one of the highlights of the resort and deservedly so, its circular shape and oversized hammock seating affording unobstructed ocean views. There’s also a very popular pool bar to while away an hour or two, sipping on exotic cocktails.

First trip to the Maldives, MANY good things about this resort- mainly the STAFF who are hard-working and kind; I had an over the water bungalow as a splurge, but watch your wallet - they want to surcharge you for things and/or “upsell” you. At the end, you can blow your budget. Wait for a “special” or ask for a discount voucher. Dont wish to gripe, again STAFF and ROOM were amazing, FOOD good too- but had an unpleasant check-in experience with one female manager who just wanted to argue with me, insisted I hadn’t paid for something in my booking I was sure I had. And I mean ‘argue. ‘ No attempts at reconciliation. No graciousness or hospitality. She wanted my credit card on the spot at check in- sort of felt like a shakedown. I ended up canceling that perk, not permitting the charge and will work it out w/ Centara corp. by email when I get home. Took two hours to get a room b/c of this. Rest of my stay VERY pleasant, avoided this mgt. person. Read less

It is a hotel that is suitable for the price paid. The food is delicious. The staff is very helpful, polite and friendly. The room is spacious, especially the sunset overwater villa. The bed is soft and comfortable.

We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Centara Ras Fushi, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Initially overwhelmed by Maldives' numerous options, we stumbled upon CRF's exceptional reviews and couldn't be happier with our choice. _All-Inclusive Bliss_ The premium all-inclusive plan surpassed our needs, offering branded drinks, a stocked mini-bar, snorkeling equipment, and non-motorized watersports. No hidden costs or limitations! Just note the only distinction from the Gold AI package was at the spa, where Premium AI offered a single $50 voucher, whereas Gold AI provided daily vouchers that could be accumulated per person. However, this was a minor difference and didn't impact our overall experience. _Seamless Arrival and Warm Welcome_ From the airport pickup to the speedboat transfer, CRF's organization shone. A refreshing lemon-scented cloth greeted us upon arrival, setting the tone for a relaxing stay. _Impeccable Service and Amenities_ The friendly staff, 4 restaurants, and 3 bars catered to our every whim. The CRF app streamlined bookings, and connectivity throughout the island was flawless. _Culinary Delights_ We savored each restaurant and bar, praising the variety and staff's attentiveness. Mama's pasta at Oceans and the decadent mango mousse won our hearts! _Accommodation Heaven_ Our over-water villa with swirl pool was breathtaking, offering snorkeling paradise at our doorstep. The beach villa, though different with the swirl pool tucked in the courtyard with no ocean views, still delighted. _Sustainability and Extras_ CRF's coral restoration program and focus on sustainability impressed. The anniversary cake, bubbly, and extended checkout made our stay unforgettable. _In Conclusion_ Centara Ras Fushi, you stole our hearts! Your adults-only oasis, stunning scenery, and exceptional team created lifelong memories. We'll return, hopefully sooner rather than later! Read less
