Two properties in the Maldives run by Centara Hotels and Resorts have announced all-inclusive packages with experiences such as whale shark spotting and underwater adventures in a semi-submarine.

At the adults-only Centara Ras Fushi Resort and Spa, the Gold All-Inclusive package entitles guests to up to three dives per villa, per week. Guests can enjoy daytime and night-time dives at famous dive sites, including Giraavaru Cave, Kuda Haa, Shark Point, Lion’s Head, Kuda Faru and Kikki Reef.

The famous wreck of the Maldives Victory ship is also less than one hour away, and guests who want to get up close to the world’s biggest fish – the whale shark – can join dedicated snorkelling trips.

Other inclusions in the package are a semi-submarine tour, six meals per day, an open bar, a complimentary mini-bar that gets replenished daily, laundry, complimentary spa treatments and unlimited use of non-motorised water sports.

Centara Ras Fushi Resort and Spa Maldives is an adults-only resort, with no one under the age of 12 years accommodated on the island. Located just 20 minutes by speedboat from the main Velana International Airport, the resort has 140 villas. Flexibility in dining plans is provided with the choice of half-board plus or all-inclusive programmes.

At the family-friendly Centara Grand Island Resort and Spa Maldives, the Ultimate All-Inclusive package includes three dives per person in a week, shore dives, boat trips, dive courses, semi-submersible trips, daily dining experiences, mini-bars replenished daily, and spa credits.

The house reef is just off the coast on the island in the South Ari Atoll, and guests can also visit the wreck of MV Kudi Maa, which attracts species, including turtles, manta rays and whale sharks.

Activities such as island excursions, water skiing, wake boarding, banana boating, parasailing and sunset fishing are also included in the package.

Surrounded by the blue ocean of the South Ari Atoll and distinctive with its timbered walkways and colonial-style buildings, Centara Grand Island Resort and Spa Maldives is a barefoot paradise with a palm-fringed beach and shimmering lagoon that offers the perfect island holiday for everyone.

With 112 spacious villas set overwater and suites blending harmoniously with the natural setting, the island has a wealth of activities and superb facilities that make this an ideal hideaway for couples and honeymooners, or a fun-filled destination for families. There are exceptional opportunities to discover the exotic life of Maldives underwater, with a house reef that is a kaleidoscope of colour for snorkelers, a shipwreck dive site just off the island and easy access to some of the most famous dive sites in the world.
