Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection

We was staying in Machchafushi for 4 nights in middle May, supposed to be low season in Maldives. However, we just experienced only half day in heavy rain. Lucky us! We totally could enjoy everything happening in Machchafushi paradise --- 3 of us were staying in Club Sunset Overwater Pool Villa, specious, well-maintained, clean, great view, comfort beddings. Housekeepers came twice a day to make us most comfort and arrange everything we need. For the restaurants, the Reef is fair, many choice for everyone. Suan Bua provides tasty Thai food. Azzuri Mare is the best. We love the delicious, authentic Italian food there. Do make booking for Thai and Italian, they are full most of the time and zero chance for walk in. House reef around the resort is absolutely the highlight. No matter is the sea step straight down from villa or the translucent lagoon in the middle of the resort, Sharks, Turtles, school of colorful fishes are easily spotted. Background is the healthy, and vibrant coral reefs we have ever seen. What a stunning marine life! We are so much impressed with the snorkeling experience here. Much thanks for Machchafushi team have offered us the wonderful holiday. Sincere smiles met everywhere. Greatly appreciated with the diving team in Best Dive! Well organize tours for ocean lovers, like whale shark / manta chasing although we couldn’t spot one, this is Nature, nothing scheduled! Sunset fishing tour was so much fun. My girl with OW had made 3 dives during the stay. Joe Li and Ali Ibrahim are so professional to coach her and explorer the harmony of the ocean. We certainly would recommend this resort. Wait… we will be back!

Faruk, Rusty, and Khaly were very kind and welcoming. They made this trip unforgettable. Great job.

Amazing stay. Salman treated us well.

Obviously the Maldives is a wonderful place. Parts of the service from specific team members let the experience short of expectation. Snorkelling and scuba divining was excellent along with the staff. Would prefer to have more food options.

Great experience. Had taken the Couples package. The masseuse Pin was very professional and skilled in giving the massage. Had a great time.
