We have just spent 10 days, all inclusive, at the adults only Centara Ras Fushi Resort and Spa in The Maldives and have had a wonderful relaxing time. There are activities to do at extra cost and we chose to go on a dolphin cruise. We were lucky to see many! But what can we say about the resort itself? We had a villa over the sea and, whilst not luxurious, it was very comfortable. Ibbe, who kept our room clean and tidy, was always anxious to ensure that we were happy with his efforts and we were. The restaurants on the island were all exceptional. We tried them all and would say that La Brezza was our favourite although, if we'd had to eat in the buffet every night, that would have been fine as the selection and quality of dishes was excellent. The staff at all venues was very friendly and helpful. The bar staff was very keen to ensure you were having a good time with karaoke and beach parties on certain evenings. The beaches are gorgeous - white sand and azure sea with nurse sharks feeding amongst huge shoals of small fish. Perfect for snorkeling.

An Unforgettable Stay in a Breathtaking Getaway – Highly Recommended! I don’t usually write reviews, but Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa truly exceeded all expectations and deserves every bit of praise! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism — special thanks to Nadia, who gave us a lovely tour and made us feel right at home. Huge appreciation to Chef Mama for his warm hospitality and personal attention — he truly made us feel cared for. And of course, Head Chef Kareem Ali for the amazing food that we enjoyed every single day. The beaches are stunning — clean, peaceful, and picture-perfect. I highly recommend trying everything the resort offers: from the E-Zone to the variety of restaurants, pools, and water sports. We went snorkeling and were lucky enough to see beautiful fish and even baby sharks — an unforgettable experience that added so much to our trip. The entire staff was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive. Every detail — from the service to the cleanliness and the overall atmosphere — was just perfect. If you’re looking for a dreamy escape in the Maldives, this is the place to be. I’m already looking forward to returning!

Because everything was said in all the other reviews before, I will only say, that we had a great vacation in the Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives!!! We want to thank every member of the whole staff for an always friendly, polite and helpful Service! That was great and is no longer a matter of course everywhere in the world… Our special Thanx go to the staff of the reception, they all were so kind and helpful to us with all our questions! Also to our always attentive and very friendly room cleaner Shohel and last but not least to our two-men-team of Mama and Babul behind the stovetops at the buffet! Mama & Babul served us always in a good mood and with a bright smile in their faces! Everything was phantastic! But we have also to points of criticism: The Overwater villa has no sun-/ rain protection over the balkony. So you can use it only in the evening hours... The offers of extra-tours like excursions etc. and spa treatments are too expensive. But nevertheless we had a great time! Thank you all!!!

It was hard to decide where to spend our holidays in Maldives as there are so many good places but we never regretted our decision to choose Centara Ras Fushi Resort! Our trip is short but this resort locates only 20 min away from the airport. It fits to our trip. We travelled in Sep. It is low season so the price of overwater villa is very good. We booked a Sunset Overwater Villa. 😊 I would say their services are well above our expectations. Nadia was never say no to our requests and staff there are nice and have good services mind. Foods are good and have many choices. The room is good and the view is breakthrough. We hardly left the villa and enjoyed our times there very much. We regret to leave and will definitely look forward to stay here again. Room #328 :)

The holiday was a great way to unwind from everyday stress. The island is 20 mins from Male, which means that you can see it at distance from one side of the island, but at the same time it is also practical to arrive there. Everyone from the staff was really nice and super friendly, they were ready to take care of any necessities we had and were really careful with my wife who is pregnant. There were a lot of daily activities you could do for free (we did a bit of snorkelling, rented windsurf equipment, played beach volley, swam in the pools and enjoyed yoga with Prasit) and several interesting excursions. We didn’t get bored at all! Finally, I truly don’t get all the comments about food. Food was great and we could choose among a variety of tasty possibilities. Definitely worth it and with good quality/price rate! It is just sad that the Barrier reef is getting white, but I’m afraid that’s a problem of all Maldives. The island, however, is equipped with solar panels which provide green energy.

Fantastic stay, thanks to the wonderful team! We stayed at Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa and were absolutely delighted! The island itself is like a postcard: white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a stunning house reef where we saw turtles and countless tropical fish every day. The villas are spacious and comfortable, and the service is top-notch. A very special thank you to Chris and Aikhan – their kindness, attention, and warm attitude truly made our stay unforgettable. With people like them, you feel not just like a guest, but like a valued friend. The food was excellent: the freshest seafood, a variety of international dishes, and always plenty of tropical fruits. The spa was pure bliss and the perfect place to relax. Machchafushi is not just about the beauty of the Maldives, but also about the feeling of home and care. We left with a touch of sadness but also with the certainty that we will definitely return. Thank you to the entire team for such an unforgettable stay! 🌴💙

Highlights Amazing house reef, corals were untouched and thriving. Crystal clear unpolluted waters. Many sea creatures in the house reef: black tip reef sharks, sea turtles, nemo, dory, starfish, small crabs and we saw 1 lobster. Thank you to Fittey for bringing us around! Getting Here 30mins by seaplane, beautiful experience. Accomodations We stayed in the club overwater villa throughout and highly recommend it, could snorkel right at our stairs everyday and great view of the open sea (no obstructions), perfect for sunset watching as well as stargazing. From our villa we saw black tip reef sharks, many fishes, a starfish and a small crab. Food Came during the low season so restaurants alternated days in opening, but we managed to try both the Italian restaurant and Thai restaurant, the Reef's buffet and the Teppanyaki. Food was not particularly impressive but it wasn't too bad! Activities We picked the dhoni whale shark excursion (100USD/person) and didn't manage to see the whalesharks, but saw dolphins and sea turtles out in the ocean. Take note they only let locals with a license/certificate free dive with the whalesharks. Tourists will have to wear a lifevest. Free snorkels, fins, SUP board, kayak and water bicycle rental. They also have daily nurse shark feedings and a game room with billiards, table hockey, darts and table tennis. Overall Food is average, service is good and staff are friendly, resort is clean and well-maintained, and house reef is the healthiest I've ever seen. Amazing experience overall, thank you to the team at Centara Machchafushi!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The swimming pool was beautiful and really enjoyable, and I especially loved the reef with all the colorful fish. The water was crystal clear, easy to access, and full of marine life right away, with a nice depth for swimming and snorkeling. The food was also very tasty, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was sunny, beautiful, and relaxing. What made the experience even better was the incredibly friendly and positive staff — especially the bartender at the pool bar, who was always cheerful and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

We had an unforgettable stay at this Maldivian resort! Everything was perfect — from the stunning beauty of the island and the lush nature surrounding it to the wide range of activities like snorkeling and diving that kept us entertained every day. The food in all the restaurants was excellent, offering something for every taste, from delicious European dishes to flavorful Asian cuisine. But what truly made our vacation special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for. A special mention goes to Samsul from room service, who surprised us each evening with lovely good-night decorations made of flowers and handmade toys for our kids — such a heartwarming touch! Thank you to the whole team for making our holiday so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

An Unforgettable Stay – Exceptional Service, Perfect Location & World-Class Hospitality From the moment we arrived at the resort, we were absolutely blown away by the level of service, the breathtaking location, and the impeccable facilities. This was more than just a getaway – it was a truly unforgettable experience. A very special mention must go to Nabil at Reception, who went above and beyond to make our stay extraordinary. Not only did he warmly welcome us and personally show us around the property, but he also orchestrated a beautiful birthday surprise during our dinner and along with housekeeping, arranged a lovely room setup that made the celebration feel incredibly special. His attention to detail, genuine care, and thoughtful gestures truly touched our hearts. The restaurants’ team also deserves praise for their consistently warm, friendly, and attentive service. Every meal was not only delicious but enhanced by the kind and professional staff who made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. Thank you to Cathy, Terrence, Moosa, Alex, Rio, Tommi, Timmi and Kumar. Kudos to all the hotel staff! Everyone is always greeting you with a warm smile. The resort itself is stunning – perfectly located just 35 minutes by speedboat with breathtaking views, beautifully maintained grounds, and top-notch facilities that cater to both relaxation and recreation. This was easily one of the best hospitality experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so memorable – we’ll definitely be back!

Stayed in Mirage for 2 nights with family (2 teenagers and a two-years old boy and an infant of 4 months). It was a great stay. Team were very friendly. Restaurants were great too. Had the pleasure of experiencing Thai, Italian in Mirage and Tandoor in the grand. Staff in all the restaurants were amazing and friendly. Sorry, we can’t remember all names, but everyone who served us were great. Food was also great. Special mention of The Gallery team - JK and the team were excellent. Breakfast team was also exceptional. The girl who did our check-in was also great. Kids club girls were also very friendly. It was so comforting to see lifeguards around - they were visible all the time when we were swimming in water villas. They look attentive too. Buggy guys were also friendly. House keeping: rooms were well looked after and rooms were clean. House keeping team was efficient and super fast in responses. Aswan and Ram did a great job. Your app is great. Responses were very fast. Would definitely recommend Mirage for families who are looking for a great value. Thank you for the beautiful upgrade too 😊 we booked 2 beach units, but due to non-availability of inter connecting rooms, they upgraded us to water villas. The kids room in all the villas is a great idea.

From the moment we arrived at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives, we were treated like family. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay unforgettable. The resort itself is stunning — crystal clear water, beautifully maintained facilities, and spacious, comfortable rooms with breathtaking views. What really stood out was how family-friendly everything was. There were endless activities for the kids, from the water slides to the kids’ club, which meant the adults could enjoy some well-deserved relaxation too. The food was excellent with so many delicious options, and the variety kept every meal exciting. Every detail, big and small, was taken care of — from smooth transfers to little surprises in the room. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone who wants the perfect Maldives experience!

The stay was a mixed experience. Positives / Highlights - Family and kid friendly. • Exceptional Staff: • Housekeeping: Monir was an "absolute star." His service was thoughtful, thorough, friendly, and attentive, with unbelievable customer service and attention to detail. The handwritten goodbye message at the door was a wonderful surprise by Ram. • Restaurant Staff: Timmi from the Thai restaurant and Rygin from the Italian restaurant stood out for their friendly and genuine professionalism. • Airport & Check-in: The airport staff Jazz was friendly. Shuttle service is very exclusive. The travel time is bearable 45mins. The check-in experience with the Thai reception staff Khun Nan and Khun Fatimah was pleasant. Bid farewell by Khun Fatimah, Khun Nan and Khun Reji was so touch. • Facilities & Activities: • Beaches & Waterpark: The beaches were clean and well-kept, with calm waters suitable for snorkeling. The waterpark was a nice addition. Lots of beginner areas for swimming and snorkeling. • Kids Zone: The area was amazing, with engaging games for the whole family, including a new pinball machine. The staff were friendly and helpful. • Unique Encounters: Meeting "Jack," a very entertaining parrot belonging to a staff member, was a memorable and enjoyable interaction. • Dining (Specialty Restaurants): • The Thai and Italian restaurants were both very good, offering much better food quality and service than the main international restaurant. Areas for Improvement. • Website: The website is poorly designed. It lacks an option to modify a reservation, makes it difficult to compare rooms, and did not honor a price drop that occurred after booking. • Call Center: one of the staff was unhelpful, and unprofessional. • Dining (Main International Restaurant): • Food Variety: The food quality was good, but the variety became boring. Lunch and dinner menus were too similar. That said the main restaurant staffs were exceptionally friendly and hardworking. The resort has so much to offer, and when it was time to say goodbye, we truly felt like part of the family. Until next time.

An incredible holiday at Centara Mirage Maldives! Waking up to the sound of the ocean, having direct access to crystal clear water and watching the sunset right from the terrace is priceless. The room was spacious, modern, impeccably designed and equipped with all the amenities. The hotel staff deserves special praise. All the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and always ready to help. Great job by the whole team! The gastronomic journey at Centara Mirage Maldives is a separate story. The restaurants offer a varied menu, from exquisite international dishes to the freshest seafood. Each dinner was a real feast for the taste buds. The hotel offers a variety of activities for all ages. We loved snorkeling right off the coast - the coral reefs are full of life! For children, this is a real paradise: the water park and kids' clubs are what you need for a family holiday. Centara Mirage Maldives is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, a family vacation or just for those who are looking for a piece of heaven on earth. The perfect combination of luxury, natural beauty and excellent service. We will definitely be back! Recommended to everyone!

I had the most amazing experience during my first trip to the Maldives! The place is absolutely beautiful, the sea is crystal clear, and the views are truly breathtaking. Every moment felt like a dream. The service was gorgeous from start to finish. All the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel at home in paradise. The hotel app was also very convenient and helpful, making everything from booking activities to requesting services smooth and easy. This combination of stunning scenery, exceptional service, and modern convenience made my first time in the Maldives truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at this Maldivian resort was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, well-organized, and everything worked perfectly, making the whole experience unforgettable. But what truly made our holiday twice as special was our Room Attendant, Javed. He went above and beyond in taking care of us, always attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. His dedication and personal touch really stood out and made a huge difference in our trip. A big respect and thank you to Javed — he’s simply amazing!

We came all the way from Saudi Arabia, and it was our first time in the Maldives and I can honestly say it was the best vacation of our lives! We stayed for 7 days and tried both the beach and overwater villas. Each had its own unique charm, and both were truly beautiful. We also really appreciated the great privacy the resort offers since it is new, it made the experience feel even more exclusive and relaxing. One thing that needs improvement is the housekeeping service. It should be monitored and upgraded to meet 5 star resort standards. Toothpaste stains were consistently left behind after cleaning, and amenities were never replenished throughout our stay. On a positive note, the staff were incredibly friendly especially the Kids Club and Ezon team, as well as our lovely butler Joy (the souvenir in the photos was made by her as a gift to our daughter 🥹). Special thanks as well to the gentleman at The Club his exceptional service, passion for his work, and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable! The food was great, though it could use more variety, and we recommend hiring a professional barista to elevate the coffee experience. Hookah was also offered upon request, which we really appreciated ❤️ Overall, we absolutely loved the resort, and I personally had an amazing first impression of the Maldives. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The reception was excellent and the service was outstanding. The Bluefin restaurant was very good, and the staff there were extremely kind and welcoming. I had such an enjoyable time with the activities available, and everyone was very nice and friendly, even in the restaurant. Special thanks to Amjad at the gallery restaurant and all his staff was nice and friendly , and Hanna at Best Dive for the water activities , they all made my stay so memorable. Also, the room service team who served me in room 108 were fantastic. The Best Dive experience was wonderful she was so kind, and it was such a lovely experience. The place is perfect for kids, very clean, and the service is great. I would definitely come back and repeat the experience. One small suggestion it would be great to have a bit more DJ music to liven up the atmosphere. The spa service is good as well . Highly recommended!

I just wanted to share my experience about one of the most incredible islands I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The hotel was absolutely fantastic – it was immaculately clean, with housekeeping checking in more than once a day to ensure everything was spotless and perfectly in order. That level of attention to detail made a big difference and really added to the sense of comfort and luxury. Room service was another highlight – not only was it impressively fast, but the food was genuinely delicious. Whether I was ordering a quick bite or a full meal, everything was prepared to perfection, beautifully presented, and delivered with such warmth and professionalism. Staying in and enjoying meals in the comfort of my room became one of the best parts of the stay. The island offered a great selection of water activities – from snorkeling to paddleboarding and more – and everything felt incredibly safe and well-organized. The staff took safety seriously while still making the experiences fun and exciting, which gave me the confidence to try new things and truly enjoy the beautiful waters. The resort’s main swimming pool was stunning – large, clean, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, it was the perfect place to unwind and take in the island vibes. I also loved the smaller pool located just by the rooms; it was ideal for a quick and peaceful swim at any time of the day. Honestly, every aspect of this trip was spot-on. The combination of exceptional service, luxurious amenities, natural beauty, and peaceful atmosphere created a truly unforgettable experience. I felt pampered, relaxed, and completely at ease throughout my stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway, and I’m already dreaming of going back someday.
