We have just returned from Centara after a 10 day stay and would have no hesitation in recommending this resort. We flew with Emirates via Dubai and arrived in Male to join our sea plane transfer which gave brilliant views over the ocean. On arrival at Centara we were greeted with cold towels and a reviving welcome drink before being... more

Just came back on 17 Dec after staying in the island for 5 nights. Everythings were execellent. Although I stayed only at the beach house, the experience was unforgetable. The marine lifes were very very attractive. My wife and I went fishing and she catched a 4 Kg red snapper. Go and I am sure you won't get disappointed. more

Well. we were a little apprehensive about the Centara given the problems reported on Trip Advisor about it's opening.

It was roomy, well equipped including a bath big enough for two... more

My wife, daughter and I set off to the new Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa 5 days after it opened, for the holiday of a lifetime. We arrived in Male and took the seaplane flight to Grand Island.

We arrived at Centara on the 2nd November, just after it opened for business, we were advised that it would be a ‘soft’ opening but that most of the resort would be complete. Our seaplane (Maldivian Air Taxi) landed at a pontoon which required a transfer to the resort by Boat, where we were greeted to a welcome cocktail and... more
