Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives

Long walk to the restaurant and pool if you are staying over water near the end But very nice overall!

Our second time back to Centara - we love it. So peaceful and the staff are amazing. See you next year!

We spent 16 wonderful days at the Centara Ras Fushi Resort on Giraavaru. Here is our take on the different aspects of that stay: Giraavaru is in the immediate vicinity of Male in the North Male Atoll. On one side this is good, as it means a very short boat ride for transfer from/to the Airport. On the other side, it means lots of Boat traffic and extreme light pollution from Male and the Commercial/Container Harbour. The House Reef is beautiful, but it is only accessible for Scuba Divers or experienced Snorkelers as the current can be strong and pull you out in the commercial shipping lanes (snorkelers are “required” to wear a life jacket). Very nice resort with several restaurants and bars, as well as a nice offering of Spa, Fitness, Activities and Water Sports. The villas are spacious & nicely appointed and the beds very comfortable. We had a beach Villa with Jacuzzi (completely private and thus very nice for relaxing in your birthday suit after a long day of Scuba Diving) and a private patio with lounge chairs and beach umbrella. The “Over-Water Villas” have direct access to the water, but lack privacy for their Jacuzzis and also, they don’t have umbrellas. The resort is doing much be eco-friendly (solar electricity, coral planting/nursery, reef cleaning days, ...).

It was a quick speedboat ride to the island and they were ready to go as soon as we landed but of course it is a 180.00 per person transfer, no exceptions and no other options so be sure to factor that in to your bottom line. I’ve never been to a n all inclusive where you are only allowed to have one alcoholic drink at lunch and at dinner. Anything more is extra and at your expense.
