Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives is located in Kaafu Atoll, one of the most accessible regions in the Maldives. A short 15–20 minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport makes it easy to reach, even after a long international flight. The resort is set on a private island with a turquoise lagoon and white-sand beach, designed specifically for adults (18+), making it popular among honeymooners, couples, and groups of friends looking for a relaxed, quiet holiday close to Malé.
The island is compact and walkable, with 140 villas spread between the beachfront and overwater sections. Its location places guests near some of the most famous diving and snorkelling sites of North Malé Atoll, offering easy access to marine life encounters while still being close to Malé City for day visits and cultural excursions.

Beach Villas – Set along the shoreline with direct access to the soft sand, ideal for those who prefer staying closer to the island’s greenery while still enjoying ocean views.
