Adults only, fifteen minutes from the airport, with overwater villas and a lively, sociable feel.
Centara Ras Fushi is an adults-only island in North Malé Atoll, close enough to the airport that you can be in the lagoon within an hour of landing. It's a sociable place, with a swim-up bar, sunset cocktails and evening entertainment, rather than a hideaway.
Its 140 villas are split between beach villas along the lagoon and overwater villas on the jetties, many with an outdoor swirl pool, a spa bathtub on the deck. The sunset-facing overwater villas are the ones to ask for.
Nine places to eat and drink include Thai at Suan Bua, Italian at La Brezza and Middle Eastern dinners in Al Khaimah's Bedouin-style tent. The premium all-inclusive covers dine-around, premium drinks, afternoon tea and a spa credit, and the house reef is part of a coral-restoration programme.
Villas are compact (42–51 m² including the terrace) and every one sleeps two adults only, so it's about value, ease and atmosphere rather than space. There are no private pools, only swirl-pool spa tubs.
Ten beachfront villas with easy access to the lagoon: a 29 m² room and a 16 m² terrace.
