Spa Cenvaree at Centara Ras Fushi Resort Maldives named ‘Best Luxury Emerging Spa in the Indian Ocean’ 2014

Spa Cenvaree at Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives has been named as the Best Luxury Emerging Spa in the Indian Ocean in the World Luxury Spa Awards for 2014.

The resort, which is an adults-only destination, opened in April 2013.

Spa Cenvaree is the luxury spa brand of Centara Hotels & Resorts, and currently has 27 branches.

“We are very proud indeed to receive this prestigious award, which confirms that Spa Cenvaree is a successful international luxury spa brand,” says Thirayuth Chirathivat, chief executive officer of Centara Hotels & Resorts.

“Our Spa Cenvaree in Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket won the same award in 2012.

“We believe the reason behind the success of the brand is that along with the Thai healing heritage and the use of natural products, we offer a very traditional and warm Thai style of hospitality.”

Spa Cenvaree at Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives is designed as a series of treatment pavilions set around a courtyard, with suites for both singles and couples.

There is also a Thai massage pavilion, a herbal steam room and sauna, and a relaxation room that serves healthy snacks and refreshments.

Set on a small island just 15 minutes away by speedboat from Malé International Airport, the resort has 140 villas located oceanside or perched above the lagoon.

Guests have the option of All-Inclusive or Half-Board Plus accommodation programmes.

Children under the age of 12 years are not accommodated at the resort, which within six weeks of its opening was rated number one for couples and honeymooners on TripAdvisor’s list of resorts in North Malé Atoll.
