Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa, The Centara Collection

— a collection of the chain's unique top-tier hotels where particular attention is paid to quality and to the guest.

Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa, The Centara Collection is a premium family resort operating on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel's main selling point is its HOSPITALITY. The personalized approach to every guest here is something special, straight from the heart. The service today is genuinely on par with — and at times surpasses — the best luxury hotels in the Maldives.

In guests' opinion, the island's main strengths are its good house reef, high-quality and varied dining, an excellent panoramic pool with a children's zone, a kids' club and daily entertainment activities for children, a wide range of complimentary services at the water sports center, and friendly, attentive staff.

The island itself is beautiful, very green and small; guests can easily explore it, strolling along paths among the coconut palms. Instead of the classic thatch-and-sand Maldivian atmosphere, the feel here is more of a sun-baked Mediterranean landscape in shades of white and blue.

Most of the villas and facilities, including the lobby, fitness center and the Italian a la carte restaurant, stand on stilts above the lagoon. Please note that
