If your dream holiday involves turquoise waters, swaying palms and cocktails delivered to your overwater villa, then Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives needs to be on your radar. This brand-new luxury resort in the Maldives is the kind of place where “paradise” feels like an understatement. Perched in the pristine North Malé Atoll, Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives blends barefoot luxury with Thai-inspired hospitality – think world-class service with a chilled-out island twist. From sunrise yoga on the beach to diving into coral gardens straight off your private deck, every day feels like something out of a glossy travel mag. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family or just living your best solo-adventure life, the resort’s mix of beachfront and overwater villas hits the sweet spot between wow-factor and serious comfort. Add in a choice of gourmet restaurants, a serene overwater spa, and all-inclusive options that actually mean all-inclusive, and you’ve got a Maldives holiday that delivers on every front. And because Centara Grand shares The Atollia with the vibrant Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives next door, you’ll get double the dining, double the adventures, and even more excuses not to leave.

Overall it was good stay; Mazko our assigned butler went above and beyond his duty to make our stay enjoyable, staffs are friendly and welcoming.
Resort was clean; food was yummy but maybe the teppanyaki should be part of the foc dining options (for half board+ and above).
In-room snorkelling (for over-water villa) was not that good, visibility was not that great, coral reef was looking dull n seabed was rather dusty n dirty. Shark snorkelling (paid activity) was good though, memorable experience.

Amazing Vacation

People say June is not a good time to go because of the storms, but if I would go there again, I would go exactly the same time like this - beginning of June.

People say June is not a good time to go because of the storms, but if I would go there again, I would go exactly the same time like this - beginning of June. I don't know if it's because it's the low season or the resort has just recently opened, but you do get both the privilege of a room like it has just built for you and a real privacy like the island has just there for you as well. The rains are just the blink of an eye which turn the weather from very hot to nice & windy.
What I like about this new Centara are: Place, Plates, Privacy, Spa and People
- Once you landed in Male, their staff were there picking you up once you walk out. The speedboat transfer has 8 seats, took around 35-45 mins with water bottles and free wi-fi.
- Once you arrive at the beautiful arrival point, there are welcome drinks, refreshing towels and warm welcome from the staff.
- Buggies are there to take you around everywhere in such a short time.
- The water villa room was spacious, comfortable bed, long large closets, good quality amenities - you just need to bring your make up kit and facial creams there, there is a bath tub, a jacuzzi pool outside and you can walk right to the clear sea from your room. 2 life jackets provided, 2 bottles of water, coffee, tea. The maid team did a great job with all the cleaning and decorating the bed with impressive texts and arts. They came in twice a day to make sure everything is good for you. The only complaint I have was that there are no sea life that can be spotted from the room. I'm not sure if it's because of the strong current in June or not. However, you can always count on the baby sharks and the rays that would come around 6-7pm at the bridge linking the hotel with Centara Mirage.
- There are many restaurants that you can choose from: a buffet at the Gallery (I love most as they have a small room full of desserts ^0^), The Club for ala cartes, Bluefin for seafood and steaks, Sunset Social for sunset drinks and snacks. You can also join restaurants in Mirage as well, Suan Bua provides a great Thai Food, Acqua for great Italian. Don't forget to try delicious "Mas Huni" for local breakfast
- I proclaim the spa here is the best I have had so it's highly recommended to book in advance from either hotels. There are some other activities too, Kayaks, Stand up boards. The crew there were very nice, teaching my dad and I with care. On Global Wellness Day, they arranged complimentary morning yoga, massage training course and a run. They were very kind giving out spa vouchers for the winners so be sure to participate in their events, they are very fun :)
- What I cannot give compliments enough was the people there. They are very warm with service mind - always do their best to facilitate all guests. Special shout-out to Khun Andy, Khun Cherry, Khun Nut, Khun Nan, Khun Gift, Khun JK, Khun Jeab, Khun Bo, Khun Middey and many others who made my stay such a memorable one :)
