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.

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

We came here in November 2024 for our honeymoon, and we could not fault the hotel at all. The hotel itself is beautiful and kept in pristine condition 24/7. The staff are incredible!! When we arrived, we were greeted by Nadiyah at the front desk who is a ray of sunshine and just got us so excited about our stay. Our Premium Sunset Over Water Spa Villa was utterly beautiful and cleaned thoroughly by our cleaner Selim who we absolutely loved. He was always greeting us with a big smile, stopping to have a chat with us and making sure we were happy and had everything we needed. His bed decorations too are beautiful! He works so hard but always has a big smile on his face. Rimah looked after us wonderfully in the Oceans Restaurant and always greeted us with a warm friendly smile and asking how our day is going. She was incredible and we always looked forward to seeing Rimah! Every member of staff we met throughout our 10 night stay were brilliant and always saying hello. We can’t fault the staff here, it’s evident they work so hard! We couldn’t recommend this resort more. Read less

We chose this resort as our honeymoon trip in January 2024 and we stayed here for 7 nights. It was by far one of the best trips we ever took. The food was very good and each night had a different theme as well as having 3 other restaurants to choose from, giving you plenty of choice. The chefs were extremely friendly and always greeted you with a big smile. The staff across the resort were extremely friendly and polite and always checking in. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Biggest highlights of our trip was definitely the water activities we did. I have never spent so much time in water as I have during this trip. We were greeted by lovely staff and huge thanks to Shaanif who took time to explain everything to us and walk us through all the options and made me extremely comfortable during all the activities! We did snorkelling with sharks which is an experience I will never forget. We also did jet skis to a sandbar where Nujoom took the most incredible pictures for us which we will cherish forever! We snorkelled out around the reef which was just breathtaking ! We cannot thank the guys enough for the time, patience and friendliness we experienced from them during our trip. Overall, the trip is a memory we will never forget and we enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you to all who made it so good for us! Read less
