Reached Centara Ras Fushi resort in the evening around 7 PM. We were welcomed by the staff and we were accompained to the reception and a welcome drink was served to us. The receptionist explained about the package which we had opted for (all inclusive) and about the resort facilities and entire resort map was explained.
We were dropped to our rooms. We had opted for 2 nights in beach villa and 2 nights in deluxe water villa so intially we were allocated beach villa for 2 nights. It was very beautiful. We had some coffee in the room and we had left for dinner at Oceans Restaurant. There are 4 restaurants in this resort. Oceans ( which is basically serves buffet and has a wide variety of cusines) Shaun Bua restaurant (Thai) and La Brezza( Italian) and Al Kamina (Arabian) are the other 3 restaurants. We had our candle light dinner at the oceans restaurant and then went for a walk to explore the resort. After the walk reached the room and ended our day by listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the cool brezze.
As we reached the resort in the night, we couldn't see the beach view from our room. We just felt the cool breeze, and in the anxiety to see the beach view from our room, we were waiting for the sun to rise and fell asleep. Woke up early in the morning at 5:30 AM and rushed to open the door right in front of the door there was a mismering view we were amazed to see the view from the room. It was a perfect blue view the sky the water infront of us was also blue. Clean air from the ocean has cleared all thoughts from our mind and the only thing we wanted was to sit in the water and take a deep breath. We went to the water and felt every drop of it with our feet and played with the sand. Don't know how the time passed but it was 8 AM, with no mood of leaving the beach but had to leave as it was time for break fast. Had an amazing breakfast at Oceans Restaurant where we had a plenty of options to select from. As we wanted to save our memories with this beautiful scenery we clicked pictures for an hour and came back to our room. We took a power nap for some time and had lunch in the labreeza restaurant tried mouth watering dishes such as chickpeas, tuna pizza and chicken cacciatore. At 4 we explored some water sports like paddling boat right in the middle of the ocean for an hour then we went for a walk around the resort. We had some snacks at the Viu bar and we were stubbled upon by the fish feeding activity that happens right outside the Viu bar. There were a wide variety of fishes and small sharks which showed up during the fish feeding session in the resort area. We then reached our room and took some rest and then went for the dinner in oceans restaurant while having our dinner we had an opportunity to listen to the live music which was hosted by the local band it was such a beautiful day which ended with beautiful music night.
How can some one not capture pictures when you are in Maldives? Yes day 3 also started with the same excitement and we ran straight into the water upon waking up. The waves were doing a race to reach the shore and the wind was higher than the normal. We sipped in the cool air and then went back to the room to fresh up and had our breakfast. After having the breakfast we went to give sample for RTPCR test which is mandatory to travel back. After that we did a photography streak as we wanted to capture the beautiful blues so that we can reminisce the moments later.After that we got a message from hotel staff that we need to change our room to water villa which is included in our package. We explored our new room enjoying each and every inch of the villa. As usual we had our meal after relaxing in the bed enjoying the new view from our bedroom. We completed our day by capturing all the spots in the resort.
Tomorrow will be the last day in this resort, and we don't want to waste our time in sleeping so we woke up at 5:30 Am and we were waiting for the sun rise. It was a bit cloudy but we managed to capture sunrise pictures. We relaxed in the silent pool for an hour and went back to the room . We had dolphin cruise planned for the evening and we showed up at the cruise 15 minutes prior to the checkout due to the excitement. The cruise started on time and we very very anxious to see the beautiful dolphins it was a 3 hours ride and the probability of seeing the dolphins was only 50 percent. The cruise was slowly sliding into the sea and the sun was about to set it was such a beautiful view the blue sea and sunset. We had crossed all the islands and it was a just water everwhere we could feel the cool breeze. The captain was right on the top of the cruise trying to find the dolphins. The crew was also actively searching to find the sight of the sea creatures. It was getting late and still there was no sight of dolphins. We were very disapointed that we would not be able see the beautiful creatures. Suddenly we heard the voice of the captain he was instructing the assistant to steer the boat to the right side and the assitant followed the orders and started steering the boat to the direction pointed by the captain. We were totally amazed as we could she the shiny black pilot whales jumping out of the sea and diving in. It was a splended view and we were able to see a lot of these pilot whales. One of them was right under our cruise and we were able to capture a close up shot of these creatures. They were pitch black and shiny it was a mind-blowing feeling watching them swim. We were lucky to see so many of these whales. We then started our way back to the resort with a bag full of memories and moments that we could cherish for the rest of our lives. We reached the the resort at 7:30pm had our dinner and then sat in the balcony of the room watching the view and then fell asleep.
