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.

This resort is stunning. The staff are amazing and very friendly, but overall vey helpful. We enjoyed every single minute of our stay there, and will definitely go back. All four restaurants are quite authentic and have many options. We were very sad to leave this little piece of paradise

I and my husband really enjoyed our stay! The atmosphere, the warm welcoming at the reception was top notch. Every bit of the activities were fantastic and fabulous. From the jet ski to the submarine, to the spa, to cabana hut dinner date, we loved everything. The foods served were super delicious and well prepared. The cleaner too was extremely good. The treats I received from all of you on my birthday were so sweet of you guys. I was overwhelmed with joy/ We can’t thank you enough! The only thing we were not too happy about was leaving almost 4hours to our departure, it was too early and we had to wait for so long at the airport before finally boarding Read less

Enjoyed our 14 nights at Centara Ras Fushi.The food is very tasty with plenty of variety to choose from in the three a la Carte restaurants along with a buffet if required.Many staff recognised us from previous visits and seemed genuinely pleased to see us.Special mention to Ya Ya and Nadia in the Thai and Firu in the Italian who is the new girl and a real asset to the restaurant.Also a manager name beginning with F who went on vacation a few days into our trip. Our room was kept nice and clean and stocked with all we required by our friendly room boy.Thankyou for the bed decorations the departure night one was spectacular.You can’t beat your own sunbeds and shade outside your room so for us its always a beach room.Plenty of trees around the resort for more shade when the sun moves around. Enjoyed several massages with Surin who I recommend highly,she does an excellent job.The spa area is very pleasant with a calming atmosphere. Thankyou for arranging the special beach dinner it was much appreciated. Hopefully we will be back for our 8th visit. Read less

A big call out to the chief Thai Chef and his assistant Nadia who ensures our Thai cooking class was fun, informative and very yummy. They both went out of their way to ensure we were looked after. The rooms are lovely, but the view and stepping into the ocean from your room is what you are here for. Helped us rekindle the romance in our marriage- thank you. Read less

Amazing place to visit. We did the all inclusive which made life super easy. Amazing facilities the breakfast was amazing. Super friendly staff. Very small island. But great. Super close to Mali. The swim up bar Amazing with even better views. Rooms were Amazing, clean, amazing views. Big spacious and we received a bottle of champagne fir my wife's birthday and a small cake. The 4 restaurants The main restaurant Amazing no matter if breakfast lunch or dinner. Staff were Amazing and friendly. Italian: the food was next level fantastic. Thai: same as the Italian. Absolutely amazing. We tried the chefs recommendation after meeting him at the guest and staff get together which we recommend on the beach. Arabian: cannot commend as we did not eat there. The snorkelling off the beach was amazing and some days you will see dolphins in close. We stayed in both beach and over water accommodation. Both were exceptional. Both had pros. The access to water equipment was exceptional and good fun. We went on the shark feeding tour. Expensive but worth it. The reef, island and dolphin sunset was the highlight. Again pricing but worth even cent. The boat cruised with over a pod of 20+ dolphins. We swam along a beautiful reef with lots of marine life. The island was amazing. Suggest taking a small drone to capture footage. Overall it was an amazing trip and loved every minute even when it rained. Thanks again to the staff at Centra Ras Fushi. We loved our trip and experiences All good photos are on gopro camera. Which I would highly recommend if travelling to the Maldives. Thank you again Centra Ras Fushi for an amazing holiday Read less
