An adults-only escape to the Maldives

Just a quick 20-minute speedboat ride from the main international airports in the Maldives, in the gorgeous North Malé Atoll, the Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa is a vibrant adults-only playground perfect for a couple’s retreat (with wedding blessings and vow renewals available).

We’re delighted to offer an amazing deal on last-minute bookings travelling between now and November - up to 40% off, plus complimentary upgrade from half-board to all-inclusive.

An adults-only escape to the Maldives

There are actually two levels of all-inclusive available at Centara Ras Fushi, so you can further upgrade if you like. The first comes with all meals, drinks, afternoon tea, and non-motorised water sports. Then there’s the Gold option taking it up a notch with a daily-replenished mini-bar, daily spa credit, complimentary house reef snorkelling boat excursion, and free laundry.

Accommodation at Centara Ras Fushi

We love this all-villa, adult-only property for its flowing, organic architecture, which helps it blend in with its lush setting. This is a rather intimate spot, with just 140 beach and overwater villas, some with outdoor spa bathtubs, over-ocean hammocks, and sunset views. With their clean-lined decor enhanced with bright pops of colour, they make the perfect couples’ retreats.

Things to do at Centara Ras Fushi

Sporty couples love this resort for its water activities and non-motorised water sports, which include windsurfing, paddleboarding, catamaraning, kayaking, snorkelling, and pedal boating. There’s also a PADI Dive Centre offering tuition, certification, and outings to notable local dive sites, and a house reef for diving, and snorkelling adventures (including by night, for a new perspective) closer to the resort.

Other fantastic facilities include a beachfront infinity pool and a fabulous wellbeing area including SPA Cenvaree, where its healing huts come with outdoor balconies with spectacular Indian Ocean views. The experiences on offer here are inspired by Ayurvedic and Thai healing traditions, ranging from single treatments to multi-day programmes for full-on rejuvenation.

Half and full-day excursions

Whether you want to swim alongside the world’s largest fish or discover the cultural heritage of the capital Malé, there’s something to fit your mood at this resort. As well as snorkelling and diving, swimming alongside nurse sharks, and keeping your eye out for sea turtles and playful dolphins, you can see the wonders of the underwater world from the dry haven of a semi-submarine.

The resort’s expert team will also take you out on a traditional Maldivian fishing adventure or game fishing for the likes of marlin and tuna, and you can immerse yourself in local life with a visit to a local island or to Malé.

Dining at Centara Ras Fushi

Food is a highlight of this resort. We love all its venues, but perhaps the most magical experiences are the private dining on the beach beneath the sky - including the option of private sand sofas. Also oozing romance is Al Khaimah, a Bedouin-style tent in the island’s garden, serving Arabian fare cuisine, the Thai and Italian restaurants Suan Bua and La Brezza with their terraces wide open to the Indian Ocean, and Viu Bar with its light bites and catamaran nets strung over the water.
