About this accommodation

The Centara Collection, Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives sits on Machchafushi Island in South Ari Atoll and is reached by a seaplane transfer of about 25 minutes from Velana International Airport, operated by Trans Maldivian Airways. The property holds 112 villas across beach and overwater categories, with family configurations including bunk beds and some overwater options featuring plunge pools. The house reef is the island's stand-out feature and was recognised in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025 as one of the best house reefs in the Maldives; snorkellers access the reef directly from the shore, and a shipwreck dive site lies just off the island. Dining rotates through international theme nights at the Reef restaurant and additional outlets across the resort, with meal plans from bed and breakfast through half board plus, all-inclusive and the enhanced Centara Gold All Inclusive. Spa Cenvaree delivers Thai-rooted treatments with Vichy hydrotherapy and hot and cold plunge pools. The resort is well-suited to honeymooners, families using connecting overwater villas, and reef-focused divers prioritising short transfers and a productive home reef inside a marine protected area.
