On April 1st, 2025, Centara Hotels & Resorts — Thailand’s premier hotel operator — unveiled its latest jewel in the Maldives: Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives. Tucked away in the secluded sanctuary of The Atollia by Centara Hotels & Resorts, this remarkable opening marks the brand’s fourth milestone property in the country, elevating its reputation for merging authentic Thai hospitality with the untamed beauty of the Indian Ocean.
This isn’t just another island resort — it’s a thoughtfully designed escape. With 142 private beachfront and overwater villas, ranging from intimate hideaways to expansive residences, every corner is curated for comfort, serenity, and a seamless connection to nature. Whether it’s a private pool, a Jacuzzi overlooking the turquoise sea, or direct access to powdery sands, every villa whispers indulgence. Families, couples, and groups will find their perfect match with connecting options and multi-bedroom residences, complete with indoor-outdoor lounging spaces, private dining setups, and even kitchenettes for in-villa culinary moments.
Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives takes gastronomy seriously — and deliciously. The Gallery buzzes with vibrant energy, live cooking stations, and international flavors. Bluefin brings the Mediterranean to your plate, with live music and seafood against the ocean breeze. Want something more casual? Coco Drift, the swim-up bar, has you covered with chilled cocktails and snacks. For sunset lovers, the overwater Sunset Social champagne bar is as glamorous as it gets. And for those craving exclusivity, The Club delivers high-end dining, raw bars, fine wines, and bespoke buffet experiences.
“From picture-perfect villas to exceptional dining and wellness, we’ve created something truly special,” shared Andrew Jansson, Cluster General Manager of Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives & Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives. “We’re ready to welcome guests to a destination where everything has been crafted with care and heart.”
Thirayuth Chirathivat, CEO of Centara Hotels & Resorts, echoed that vision, celebrating the resort’s launch as the final piece in The Atollia puzzle — a bold multi-island project reimagining the Maldivian experience.
Beyond the villas and restaurants lies a world of discovery. Rejuvenate at Spa Cenvaree Retreat, a holistic haven offering transformative therapies. Dive into the rich underwater world, or embrace playful days at the kids and teens clubs designed for younger travellers. And with Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives just next door, guests enjoy full access to a vibrant network of water attractions and family-friendly fun.
To mark this grand opening, Centara invites travellers to immerse themselves in the Grand Island Indulgence — a celebratory offering with added nights, meal upgrades, champagne toasts, spa rituals, and more. Exclusive access to The Club and curated ocean excursions round out this unforgettable escape.
