Hello, We stayed at Centara to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was just more than our expectations.
I chose Centara Ras Fushi as it’s close to the airport and hardly takes 20-25 mins by the speedboat. You don’t need a seaplane transfer. It costed us 155 USD per head for return speedboat transfer plus other environmental taxes.
Firstly when we arrived, everything was taken care of and Liane from the Philipines 🇵🇭 welcomed us and guided us about the resort and the facilities. She took us to our water villa.
Our water villa had everything but I was a bit disappointed as there wasn’t a bath tub and I didn’t choose the water villa with jacuzzi assuming we had a bath tub. Never mind 😌 They had upgraded our water villa to sunset water villa. It was amazing. We had direct access to water. We enjoyed the view from the room.
They have amazing restaurants in the resort. I loved the buffet. Breakfast was great with variety. They have different themes everyday. The Khaimah - Arabic food tent was great too. Maaz treated us really well there. Also, in the Larozza-Italian restaurant, Anfau was very warm and kind to us. Yaya from
The Thai restaurant was cute. We loved all the cuisines and it was delicious. We chose the all inclusive package which covered all the meals and the drinks.
Our rooms were cleaned twice a day and everything was just perfect. Shohail was amazing and he made sure we are comfortable in our rooms. Our room was also decorated by him and we were given a cake and sparking juice to celebrate our anniversary.
We will surely come back.
Thank you so much Centara ♥️ 🏝️ 🌊
I decided to travel during the National Day holiday and chose this hotel. The hotel provides speedboat transfers, which makes it easy to choose flights. The island is well-equipped, and the gym, water entertainment, dining, and water houses are all beyond my expectations. I recommend this hotel.
We chose the ocean water villa to celebrate my wife’s birthday.
The positive side, the resort provided a lovely small cake for the occasion, arranged a photo session with a photographer and the food and drinks were delicious. The resort itself was spotless, and our host (Osama) was excellent, addressing all of our questions and a great guy!
Major downside was the lack of privacy; the key reason we booked the ocean water villa was for privacy. Despite the website stating that drones are not allowed, drones were consistently used throughout the resort. One drone came within a few meters of our room and recorded us on the balcony and inside the room, clearly violating our privacy (see pictures, can't upload videos). I called the front desk who said they will let security know & later that day , another drone was hovering near the beach, recording the area again. I spoke to one of the workers, who said they would inform the front desk, but I could see the drone operator from the other side of the venue and resort staff stood nearby without taking any action for breach the rule. The frequent drone usage really compromised the privacy, especially in the premium rooms and was quite loud. I would recommend opting for a more basic room or venue if privacy is important to you.
I understand that the resort is beautiful and drone footage captures it wonderfully, but the resort should consider allowing recording only at specific times and in designated areas, under supervision, to ensure privacy is respected and not compromised.
That said, aside from the drone issue, the resort is lovely and conveniently close to the airport.

Good clean modern room with en suite. Air conditioning worked well and plenty of very hot water on demand. Cafe in the downstairs courtyard for refreshments and less than a minutes walk from the ferry terminal for the ferry to Male.
I visited Maldives for the second time and took a short trip to Velassaru with my 3-year-old baby. I had another wonderful time.
Hygiene: I stayed in a sand house for 2 nights. Every day, the staff would take the initiative to ask if it was cleaned. The guy cleaned very carefully. I like his work attitude.
Facilities: Because of the rainy season, the wind and waves were very strong. I originally planned to experience the Japanese restaurant Teppanyaki, haha, but it was closed on Sunday night. I didn’t make an appointment at other restaurants and couldn’t eat. I could only have a buffet dinner in the main restaurant.
I want to praise Velassaru’s buffet. I personally feel it is still very good. It is more suitable for my taste than the previous one in Xiya Family.
Haha, I didn’t get to eat the ice cream twice a day around the island. At that time, the children were either sleeping or digging in the sand, and they didn’t give me a chance to eat at all.
Environment: The lagoon is super beautiful. It rained a little before going to the island and I was worried that the whole journey would be rainy. Fortunately, it was sunny the next day, and the photos were also very good, haha.
Service: The staff on the island are very enthusiastic. They will say hello and tease the children when they meet.
The weather is too bad and the hotel water house is good. The sand house is generally very rusty and not delicate. The hotel environment is not recommended because there are too many boats nearby and you can see the city of Male without the feeling of a water island and the land is too close at night Looking around, the lighting of the building in the distance is very poor. If the hotel on the four islands of Madai is the worst environment
The water house is really good, the room facilities and services are top-notch. There is a piece of glass on the floor inside the room to see the sea below. Each water house has a small pool of infinity, perfect for taking pictures. The sea is also very clear, there are many coral reefs, and there are many fish. You can see a lot from the room, and the snorkeling equipment hotel is free. The beach here seems to be very good, but it is a pity that I only stayed for one night and didn't go. There are two restaurants on the island, one Japanese restaurant needs an appointment, the other western restaurant does not need to make an appointment, and the production is not bad, but it is relatively simple, basically a main course of 20-30 dollars. Reservations are available as early as possible, and other meals can be ordered at the restaurant. Breakfast must be praised, the butler can be sent to the room, sitting on the terrace looking at the beautiful sea, leisurely to eat. There are many stars in the evening, very beautiful. Overall, an island with good value for money, not far from Male, the airport transportation fee of 130 dollars a room is slightly more expensive. The island is relatively small. After walking for 15 minutes, it is recommended to play for 2-3 days. It is boring to live again. The island is beautiful.

Located in the urban area of Male, the environment is very good, the boss is very good, especially passionate to the Chinese, the breakfast is more in line with the taste of the Chinese, it is difficult to find outside, so lunch and dinner are also eaten here. The view from the top of the building is wide and the scenery is beautiful. You can check it out.
