Our stay was amazing, reef snorkelling right off the apartment. Whale shark and manta ray excursions with experienced divers. The service and food was brilliant! Our 2 and 10 year old were well looked after with baby sitting services and kids club. Would love to come back again.

We will 100% be back! The Centara Grand is an incredible resort with even better staff! The team is professional, friendly, and accommodating! We came Nov. 30-Dec 6, 2023 for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed! The views were magical, the food was delicious, and the experiences- excursions, spa, romantic dinner, were beyond compare! We did 2 excursions- snorkeling with the Manta Rays and snorkeling with the Whale Sharks. We were fortunate enough to see both! Akram and his team made the experience memorable and fun! We loved every second of it! We couldn’t be happier with our stay!

I had an exceptional 4-night stay at Centara Grand Island Resort and Spa in the Maldives. Every aspect of our experience was outstanding, from the delicious and diverse food options to the impeccable service. Bell's excellent customer service stood out; she went above and beyond, explaining all facilities with genuine friendliness and support. Vasanth at the Aqua Bar crafted delightful drinks and offered friendly, supportive service. The buffet at Reef Restaurant was a highlight, making our entire stay truly excellent.
The seamless sea plane arrangements added a touch of magic to our experience at Centara Grand Island Resort and Spa in the Maldives. Our villa was not only luxurious but also impeccably neat and clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. The serene beach provided a tranquil backdrop, and the water activities exceeded expectations, contributing to the overall excellence of our unforgettable 4-night stay.

Best of the best! It’s my second time in Maldives, fully satisfied with everything here, the good environment for diving and water sports, friendly and happy staff in Centara is extremely impressive. Our water villa is a incredible spot for snorkelling, where I met turtles many times. Our room service Yaseen is totally an artist, this happy young boy made bed with palm trees leaves, served dessert with little shells and wood cuts, he even left a beautiful drawing with white sand on the floor. Undoubtedly his aim is to offer the best room service in the world. The water sports centre is another shining spot for me. The staff are always willing to help you with any questions, they provide water sports gear, SUP, wind surfing, wake boarding and much more. They know all the sea creatures species and all the Maldivian atolls histories. They have incredible balance on board and passion for chasing the whale sharks and manta rays with you, they are specialist for sailing, they are always warm and happy which even made me think it must be the tropical sunshine that smash any depression. Adam, Nadeer, and all those young men, I’m not good at remembering names but your warm smiling faces, passionate spirits and pure hearts touched me forever. I miss you guys. I strongly recommend this resort to any sea lovers. Totally a paradise.
