"This is an island to go to If you want a soft and calm holiday. We came here from a resort island on the north atoll and this is quite different. Here most guests are older and there are few wedding couples. Guest from europe and few russians. (Other resorts have lots of russian tourists)

"My week at Villa Náutica Paradise Island Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the resort delivered a seamless blend of professionalism, comfort, and genuine hospitality that made this stay truly memorable. The team demonstrated extreme professionalism at every turn. Their attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that every need was anticipated and met. I must single out Mr Dillon for special praise. His availability was constant, his manner unfailingly courteous, and his commitment to providing the best possible experience was evident in every interaction. The management team’s coordination and the staff’s warmth combined to create an atmosphere of effortless care. The accommodation was of outstanding quality. Rooms are spacious, immaculately maintained, and thoughtfully appointed with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities. Cleanliness and upkeep were impeccable, and the overall design balances elegance with relaxed island charm. Meals were varied and of high quality. The resort’s culinary offerings showcased fresh ingredients, creative preparation, and consistent presentation. Breakfasts offered a wide selection to suit all tastes. Lunch and dinner menus provided both local flavors and international options, each dish prepared with care and flavor. The experience is richer, warmer, and more impressive in person than words can capture. I leave with deep appreciation and the certainty that I will return."
"We spent 16 wonderful days at the Centara Ras Fushi Resort on Giraavaru. Here is our take on the different aspects of that stay:
Giraavaru is in the immediate vicinity of Male in the North Male Atoll. On one side this is good, as it means a very short boat ride for transfer from/to the Airport. On the other side, it means lots of Boat traffic and extreme light pollution from Male and the Commercial/Container Harbour.
The House Reef is beautiful, but it is only accessible for Scuba Divers or experienced Snorkelers as the current can be strong and pull you out in the commercial shipping lanes (snorkelers are “required” to wear a life jacket).
Very nice resort with several restaurants and bars, as well as a nice offering of Spa, Fitness, Activities and Water Sports.
The villas are spacious & nicely appointed and the beds very comfortable. We had a beach Villa with Jacuzzi (completely private and thus very nice for relaxing in your birthday suit after a long day of Scuba Diving) and a private patio with lounge chairs and beach umbrella. The “Over-Water Villas” have direct access to the water, but lack privacy for their Jacuzzis and also, they don’t have umbrellas.
The resort is doing much be eco-friendly (solar electricity, coral planting/nursery, reef cleaning days, ...).

"Family of 4 with 2 children (5 & 6) - celebrating wedding anniversary and three birthdays - couldn’t have picked a better place.
From arrival, were made so welcome. Aisha was amazing from start to finish, and Maggie made sure everything remained smooth. Aisha also helped make our celebrations really special, which meant a lot to us.
A huge shout out to Dr Malik Asif. I got swimmer’s ear and was in agony, but he turned up in the middle of the night with medication. Absolute legend - he genuinely saved my holiday!
The staff are what make this resort.
Amazing Iyaah looked after us in several restaurants and Auzam and the MIDI team were brilliant too. Shout out to Chef Ziyan at BO - outstanding food - check out his Instagram.
Kids loved every minute. Aarati at the Kids Club was fantastic (and Hussain), while coach Ishaq😊 (and Raaif and team) from Baraveli FC were a real highlight - kids loved finding him to give Salam - Suuuuu!! Ronaldo.
Food range across the restaurants was excellent with plenty of choice, even for our fussy little ones. Beach villa with the kids’ room, private pool was perfect - clean, spacious, comfortable and ideal for families.
Finally, thank you everyone - housekeeping, gardeners, lifeguards…… and all the staff whose names I’ve forgotten. Every single person was amazing.
Memories we’ll never forget.
For our family, the 10min free transfer from airport and all-inclusive package made everything so easy. Thanks again everyone."
"Property is adjacent to the water ferry terminal. This is convenient if you will be using the ferries. However, it is very noisy if you are if try to relax or sleep. In addition, the road in front of the property is torn up and construction equipment appears to be working most of the day and evening. Hopefully that will be transitory but currently it is in the middle stage of the process."
"I travalled with 85 year old disabled mum and 88 year old dad. The staff was very helpfull. they arranged a room closed to the restaurants and a wheelchair for my mum. During the transfers from the airport to the hotel and hotel to the airport, they also assisted us. They arranged everything very professionally.
Island and the facilities are very pleasant. Food is very good and diverse cousines are available. Rooms are being cleaned 2 times in a day, every morning and every afternoon.The night acitivites are enjoying. The day time is peaceful. The sea is crystal clear, fishes are colorful, the staff is cheerful, so what can you ask for more...
Thanks to all Bandos team."
