Beautiful island and good place for snorkeling, carol and fish are so close to you. I really love the Aqua bar, nice view and every evening I will stay there with a cool drink. I also see beautiful sunrise in my room. Really nice place to stay.

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the resort. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Everyone was welcoming and polite. Well organized and neat. The things I would suggest they improve on is their restaurant options, different food options each day, for those with longer stay-a trip to explore the city, and more nightlife/activities. Overall, it was an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back.

Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family. Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step. Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen. To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service. Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!

Me and my husband came here for our honeymoon, first time visiting Maldives and it was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. We will definitely be coming back again. Although we had some difficulties getting to our resort due to flight delays Anurag the reservation manager helped us out so much and made sure we got our full 7 night stay since we got their 2 days late. We were very grateful and blessed for him. Sunny the waiter at azzuri was so kind and sweet and me and my husband really bonded with him throughout our visit, Habib from the buffet and the chef that always made our eggs the way we like them were also very kind hearted and really everyone was great! Our room was absolutely beautiful, I wanted an over water villa with pool and I got one and I was satisfied. Food was delicious a little different then what me and husband are use to since we are from Texas but we expanded our taste buds. I will say I wish they had more restaurants because by day 5 we were pretty much tired of eating the same thing. The seaplane for me was not that great because I was very nauseous and hot since there’s no air conditioning but we managed. Thank you to everyone at Centara Resort for making it an amazing experience for us!!

Was für eine traumhafte Insel. Sehr schöner Ort, wie im Bilderbuch. Perfekte Ferien von A-Z. Unsere Kinder haben es gliebt mit dem Coach Huhthu Fussball zu spielen. Ein mega schönes Hausriff mit diversen Fischen, Wasserschildkröten und Haien. Die Anlage ist sehr sauber, besten Dank an die super Reinigung an Alauddin. Das ganze Team ist sowas von freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Top! Auch die sportlichen Angebote sind sehr gut sowie auch das Essen - sehr vielfältiges Morgenbuffet. Wir werden die Insel vermissen - war sensationell.

Lovely beach and snorkelling opportunities. Friendly staff but could do with better training (not consistent). Very child friendly. Decor quite dated but kept generally clean. Food quality requires improvement for 5-star rating (first time in Maldives so cannot say if this is resort-specific but don't expect Dubai 5-star hotel food).

Absolutely amazing, you need to stay in an overwater sunset villa w/ pool, this gets you exclusive club access basically to yourself and many other added benefits/perks and you must do all inclusive or the Grand all inclusive. Only complaint is my wife is the pickiest eater you'll meet so it took some adjustment to find meals she liked (even from the kids menu) but all restaurants were super accommodating in customizing her meal to anything she wanted and by day 2 we had her eating like a king.

シュノーケリングやダイビングをメインに考えている方に特におすすめのリゾートです。島の周りでベビーシャークや小型のサメ、マンタ、亀、運が良ければジンベイザメを見ることができます。またダイビングは初心者レベルで久しぶりでしたが、インストラクターの方がバディとして優しくリードしてくれて安心して楽しむことができました。プール付きのサンセット水上ヴィラに滞在し、自分の部屋のバルコニーからシュノーケリングに出て、バルコニーのシャワーで海水を流してプールに入ったりバルコニーで休んでから部屋に戻れるのも、部屋から夕日を眺められるのもとても良かったです。 3つあるすべてのレストランで食事を楽しみ、特にイタリアンレストランのシーフードはとても美味しかったです。私にはちょうどいい歩いてもしんどくない大きさの島で、働いている人もちょうどいいのんびり感で居心地が良かったです。美しい海や景色はいつまでも見ていたくなり、また行きたい場所になりました。

We loved the property, we loved how friendly, helpful and nice the staff was. They took care of our villa like it was their own home and you never see this anywhere. What I didn't like was that they need to set up long chairs for the family villas, we requested and they set it up for us but we didn't realize we could request it until the last two days.

We planned this to be our trip of a lifetime and it certainly lived up to the hype. Rooms are beautiful and private. Amanullah took care of us, bringing us buckets of ice, restocking the mini bar, cleaning the room, and leaving sweet touches daily. The ocean is teeming with life just steps from the door. We took several excursions to fish annd see whale sharks, both hugely successful, and snorkeled for hours along the house reef around the atoll. Food was impeccable and had a large variety. Hospitality everywhere-from food service to reception to spa staff-was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. Highly highly recommend.

We would just like to say a whole hearted thank you to all the team at Centara Grand for making our stay the most magical and memorable! This was our second visit after being there 8 years ago - we were so excited to return to our favourite place! The level of service was just as amazing as the first time and they were so accommodating in every way. A special shout out to Nabeel who made sure our stay was a smooth and enjoyable as possible and was always on hand with any queries we had. Islam our room cleaner also did a fantastic job and was extremely friendly. We got engaged the second night of our stay with a fantastic beach dinner and now we have memories for life. We can't wait to return in the not so distant future! Thanks so much again!

We had an amazing time at Centara Grand. The place is absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling straight out of the water villas is amazing. Food is super nice as well and the buffet restaurant was always varied so it never felt samey. All the staff was super friendly but we would like to thank in special Monir who would do our room and every day would leave a beautiful drawing made with sand or other natural materials on our villa floor.

DIVINO!!!!!

Passei momentos inesqueciveis neste resort e adorei a estadia no local. Os funcionarios Rohit Raj e Babu , concierge e camareiro foram super atepnciosos e tornaram a estadia , que incluia o dia do meu aniversario, um momento especial. Toda a equipe do resort merece parabens pelo trabalho. O lugar e DIVINO!!! So existe um detalhe negativo, eles nao possuem uma sala com um ou dois computadores para uso comum do hospedes, o que qq outro hotel ate mais simples tem, assim meu celular deu problema e parou, e tive que contar com a boa vontade da recepcao para usar o laptoop deles e enviar uma mensagem a familia dizendo que estava incomunicavel. No mais tudo impecavel.
