All-inclusive Maldives w/oceanfront villa -- inc. flights, spa/diving perks and speedboat transfers - save up to 26%| Flights included · via Secret Escapes |
|
When it comes to far-flung, paradisaical destinations that scream toes-in-the-sand escapism, you can't get much more of a box-ticker than the Maldives. Powder-white shores? Check. Glistening turquoise waters? Naturally. Swaying palms? Step right this way. Introducing Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives, a lush tropical-island retreat that's set within the North Ari Atoll.
Everything at this luxury lair is designed to ensure an indulgent and blissful break. Matching the resort's calming atmosphere, 140 ocean-front villas harmoniously blend in with the island’s jungle interior and white-sand beach, using natural architectural forms and a minimalist Maldivian decor.
Elsewhere, six on-site bars and restaurants serve up Thai, Italian and International cuisine, while luxurious spa facilities boast a bubbling whirlpool bath, oceanfront relaxation areas and a treatment menu inspired by Thailand's well-being heritage. Best of all, your gold all-inclusive package covers it all, including $50 for the spa that can be put towards treatments or can be swapped for up to three diving sessions at the resort's PADI dive centre, should that be more your bag. |
