Centara Grand Island, Maldives

Centara Grand Island is a fantastic all-inclusive resort offering something for everyone. It is a smaller island that packs a real punch with its Ultimate All-Inclusive package, which covers a range of water sports, excursions, the mini-bar, as well as three different venues for dinner. If you enjoy spicy food, then the Thai Restaurant, Lotus, is a must. . The house reef offers excellent snorkelling and diving is great too, due to Centara's location in the South Ari Atoll.

We particularly like the Beach Suites, as they provide ample space for 2 adults and 2 children, with the interior separated by a mezzanine level - the bedroom upstairs and the living room below. If you would prefer to be over the water, the Deluxe Family Water Villas come complete with bunk beds and the Luxury Sunset Water Villas are perfectly located to access the house reef.

To Note - the main pool at Centara will be closed from 15th May for approximately 1 month to allow for improvements to be made. During this period, all guests will be able to use the Club Pool. An additional bar on the North or Water Sport Beach will be available along with extra sun loungers

There are 112 suites and villas in seven categories of beachfront and overwater accommodation, ranging from the 87-square-metre Beach Suites complete with separate living room and large terrace, to the 159-square-metre Two Bedroom Luxury Beachfront Pool Villas. All overwater villas offer absolute privacy and comfort, with steps down to the lagoon surrounded by the resort’s house reef, while the Deluxe Family Water Villas are uniquely designed for children’s comfort and safety and have bunk beds in a separate area. The Sunset Ocean Pool Villa offers a splendid outdoor experience with plunge pool.


The Ultimate All-Inclusive experience takes the idea of carefree holidays to a whole new level by offering an absolutely cash-free resort experience. When it comes to dining, you’ll enjoy champagne breakfasts, the choice of three restaurants for lunch and dinner, free flow premium brand beverages throughout the day, and a minibar that will be replenished once daily to name but just a few benefits. Complimentary use of non-motorised water sports including snorkelling, catamaran and pedal boat, daily excursions, and an option of spa credits or diving experiences are designed to create an extraordinary holiday experience.
