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.

We had an excellent honeymoon here. All of the staff were great, particularly Dinesh in the lobby bar who was friendly and very attentive. He always remembered our favourite drinks and made sure everyone had a good time at the karaoke nights.

This was our first trip to the Maldives and all expectations were exceeded. We were delighted with the island and resort. We stayed in an ocean bungalow which was excellent and loved the fact we could walk down the steps from our balcony in to the sea and snorkel around the reef. The food was excellent with lots of choice from the 4 restaurants and the staff were very efficient, attentive and friendly. We especially liked the very jolly chef doing the live cooking and also Shorif our cleaner who kept our bungalow spotless during our stay. One final point we were delighted to see the island lit up with Christmas lights for the festive season. Read less

1-All the activities are super expensive and thatwhy it was a boring stay there 6 nights. For European customer, the prices are out of sense for what we got. Even massage was so expensive per person like 120. Closing time of E zone ( games etc) was too early as well at 21.00 while we are having the dinner. After dinner there is nothing to do.… Read more
1-All the activities are super expensive and thatwhy it was a boring stay there 6 nights. For European customer, the prices are out of sense for what we got. Even massage was so expensive per person like 120. Closing time of E zone ( games etc) was too early as well at 21.00 while we are having the dinner. After dinner there is nothing to do. During the day there was no option except swimming and sunbath. Only small activities depends on the day like 1 h badminton. Yoga was 10$ , thai box 10$ ok I attended once. 2- Oceans restaurant was terrible and need a huge improvement for the quality and variety of food. We had to take breakfast buffet there for 6 days and everyday was repetitive, same kind of food which is spicy Asian food. I was shocked when I got the roasted potato even it was sooo spicy that I was bad. It wasn’t spesified. There were only 3 food options ; pineapple, papaya, watermelon. Nothing else. Coffee’s was so bad as well, I didn’t enjoy at all. The only thing I liked in Oceans restaurant was that Sir Mama who was cooking the omelettes. He is such a star, always smiley and friendly. 3- Italian and Thai restaurants were better if you can book it through app. Cause it us full always. But you try walk-in. 4- the view from the island was not good because lots of ships were passing and you don’t really feel like you are at middle of ocean , in a paradise. But our room, luckily, was on over water sunset villa with even number room, so we were not disturb much with that bad view. Be careful while choosing the room cause i saw other part was not really pretty with port view etc. I’d only come back for the room which was pretty ( over water sunset villa) but with those expensive activities I will not consider coming back and will choose another island. I live closeby to Maldives so for sure I’ll be back to another resort. Read less
