Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection
5/5 Excellent
"Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family.
Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step.
Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen.
To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service.
Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!"

"Our stay at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island was nothing short of amazing. We stayed in a beach villa that offered the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and direct access to the pristine shoreline—waking up to the sound of the waves was pure magic.
Dining at Vilu Restaurant and Sunset Grill was a highlight—both offered incredible food, beautiful views, and impeccable service. The team across the resort truly made us feel welcome and taken care of throughout our stay.
We enjoyed a great mix of relaxation and adventure. The snorkeling and sunset fishing excursions were memorable, and we had a blast with the watersports—especially kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skiing. The spa was a serene haven; an experience that left us feeling completely refreshed.
This trip was the perfect escape, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend Conrad Maldives to anyone seeking luxury, tranquility, and top-notch hospitality in a breathtaking setting."

"My wife had an amazing stay, we can highly suggest this hotel. The staff are great, location is perfect with a "Tourist/Bikini" beach just nearby along with some nice reefs to snorkel. They also have loungers at the beach for you. Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear is available for free as well.
We did the Whale Shark excursion and the pricing was good. The whale sharks were amazing to see but be ready for some crowds.
If you plan to stay on Fenfushi this is the best and only place you should look to stay at.
If I had to give any negatives it would be the wifi and kitchen. Wifi in the rooms is iffy but in the lobby it was great. The kitchen staff is a bit slow even though you set a specific time to eat, but the food was great when it came out.
Bring snacks as the island only has 1 little local shop and they dont have much. And the only place to eat is at the hotel so snacks are nice to have."
