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.

Just heads up, they DO SERVED PORK, but they reassure us there are no cross contamination since they are moslem too. We had 1 day of rough weather, but we can still play in the water.. EXCURSIONs are amazing, we took Male city excursion and dolphin cruise.. I definitely recommend this resort to others.. Read less

The staff made our stay perfect! The resort is a slice of paradise, from the sand beneath your toes wherever you go, to the Indian ocean literally at your feet from (overwater bungalow) them add to this the Dolphin cruise, and swimming with nurse sharks - heaven! The staff were exceptionally friendly, from the cleaning team to front of house (Nadia, Amber, JD, Iqbal, Arif and Babu to name a few) memories that will stay with us forever, the food was incredible - especially the quality and selection at Oceans - wow! The cocktails were excellent too, great choise on All Inclusive. The snorkeling was incredible, especially the reef on the sunrise side, perfect! Then the 5pm shark feeding at the Vui, awesome! Such a calm and tranquil place, never felt busy and was literally a perfect stay from beginning to end (take factor 50 only, as the sun is super strong) Honestly, if paradise exists, then it can be found here....

We stayed at Centara Ras Fushi from 4 to 15 June for our honeymoon and this was the best choice ever! We enjoyed everything: paradisiac beach, colored coral reef, wildlife, landscape and vegetation, so heterogeneous even if it is a small island. But the best comes with the resort… full of services (well stocked shop, excellent water sport centers, spa, 2 clean pools, lots of panoramic bars) and daily entertaining activities (music party, movie nights, karaoke… ). Our room was simply perfect: we chose a water villa with jacuzzi, super modern, clean and full of every comfort, with a very good view and direct access to the sea and the reef. A special remark for catering services: 4 thematic restaurants (Indian, Italian, Thai and Arabic), selecting one per day was an hard choice: all were delicious, as Italians we can say that we ate one of the best Italian food here in Centara from pizza, first and second dish to dessert! Really good job to all chefs! Another special remark to the staff: they treated us magnificently, from room cleaning services to reception, from waiter staff to water sport staff… a special thank goes to Nadia: we found here a family and we didn’t want to come back home. We also tried the diving center located at the resort. Great staff, fully competent and well organized, who provided us lot of amusement and new knowledge! We especially recommend nurse shark snorkeling, where you can enjoy a close (but safe) encounter with nurse sharks, black toe sharks and rays. Last but not least, the excellent spa center with marvellous beauty treatments and relaxing massages, we were simply enthusiastic! 11 unforgettable days, full of sun and amusement. Well worth a stay, we hope to come back here soon and also try other Centara resorts in different islands. Thank you! Read less
