Centara raises the bar for Thai hospitality through its growing global portfolio

Thai hospitality operator Centara Hotels & Resorts accelerates its global business enhancement strategy with the opening and transformation of iconic five-star and luxury hotels in some of the world’s most desirable destinations.  Through the expansion of its exclusive Centara Grand and Centara Reserve brands, the group continues to uphold its celebrated standards while remaining true to its Thai family heritage, advancing its goal to be a top 100 hotel company worldwide by 2027.  Spearheading the growth is the distinguished Centara Grand brand which opened an exquisite new resort in the Maldives earlier this year, following recent luxury openings and renovations in destination hotspots, Osaka and Bangkok.  Coming up later this year is the unveiling of a revitalised version of one of the world’s leading heritage hotels in Hua Hin, Thailand, a country which will also welcome the second Reserve brand in Krabi. Centara Hotels & Resorts chief executive Thirayuth Chirathivat said: “It is with a great sense of pride that we bring Thai hospitality to the world. We look forward to further growth over the years as we elevate our positioning as a hotel group, opening, restoring and repurposing hotels and resorts in leading destinations around the globe.” Centara Grand: distinguished accommodations in distinctive destinations Acclaimed five-star brand Centara Grand has delighted guests with its distinguished hospitality for over four decades. Today, it continues to expand in dream destinations: back in April of this year, the highly-anticipated Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives opened its doors on The Atollia by Centara Hotels & Resorts, the multi-island destination in the Indian Ocean.  The sophisticated private retreat, where gracious Thai hospitality meets Maldivian allure, immerses guests in endless personal space, unrivalled private stretches of beach, world-class dining experiences, and one-of-a-kind, transformative wellness journeys.  From the elegant beachfront and overwater pool villas to gastronomic highlights including a Mediterranean beach club and overwater sunset champagne bar, and holistic wellbeing at Spa Cenvaree Retreat, guests are assured of moments of indulgence and tranquillity in equal measure. Centara Grand is also elevating hospitality in Asia’s most dynamic gateway cities. Centara Grand Hotel Osaka marked Centara’s inaugural hotel in Japan in 2023, and has quickly become a preferred option for domestic guests, international travellers and local diners.  In Bangkok, the flagship Centara Grand at CentralWorld is the destination-of-choice for high-end travellers. Following an extensive refurbishment, it has reinforced its status as a major Bangkok landmark with its chic rooms & suites and sky-high culinary venues. Long heralded as Thailand’s number one family resort, Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya on Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard, has also been completely transformed.  The multi-award-winning Lost World-themed resort recently renovated its rooms, suites, facilities and water park, positioning it for an exciting new era of family-friendly five-star Thai hospitality.  Nestled on Thailand’s gulf coast, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin is one of the world’s leading heritage hotels, as recognised by CNN Travel, with a history dating back to the 1920s.  The timelessly elegant beachfront retreat, blessed with colonial-style architecture, sweeping green lawns, and a picture-perfect sandy shore, is undergoing a thoughtful restoration programme to elevate the hotel while preserving its essence.  Contemporary flourishes, inspired by the history of the building, complement original features as the charming story of the Railway Hotel is celebrated throughout.  Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives is directly connected to Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives, a vibrant underwater world-themed family resort, via a private bridge, affording guests unprecedented access to thrilling water attractions and extended dining experiences at the neighbouring resort should they be so inclined.  The newly built resorts are providing a new vision for Maldivian hospitality, with bespoke concepts to meet the needs of different types of travellers.  Centara now offers a quartet of idyllic island resorts in the Maldives, under four distinct concepts: Centara Grand, Centara, Centara Mirage, and The Centara Collection. Centara Reserve: a tale of exceptional luxury Centara Reserve, Centara’s collection of luxury storytelling resorts, promises immersive experiences that weave graceful Thai service and laconic local narratives into every stay.  The beachfront retreat features pool access rooms and ocean-facing villas, plus the world’s first Reserve Spa Cenvaree, curated culinary offerings, and inspiring activities.  Having marked the brand’s debut in late 2021, Centara Reserve Samui has been recognised by numerous prestigious awards including one of Thailand's top 10 luxury “Beach Island Resorts" by Travel + Leisure. The world’s second Centara Reserve will soon start welcoming guests to a pristine private cove in Thailand’s Krabi province.  The former Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi, which commands unparalleled vistas of towering limestone cliffs and the Andaman Sea, is currently closed for a comprehensive renovation that will see it reimagined as the Centara Reserve Krabi: a secluded haven set to showcase luxurious rooms, suites and villas, bespoke dining, wellness, and personalised experiences that tell the story of this tropical Thai paradise. Chirathivat said of the upcoming resort: “We are excited to be entering the next phase of our long-term growth strategy as we enhance existing properties and develop new ones through our Centara Grand and Centara Reserve brands to delight new audiences and reward loyal customers. We are certainly anticipating an active and exciting next 40 years as we expand our portfolio and elevate our offerings across the world.”

Our top priority is establishing a clear and distinctive identity across Centara’s growing portfolio in the region: Jansson

Travel Daily Media (TDM): What are your top priorities in the pre-opening phase of Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives? Andrew Jansson (AJ): In the competitive Maldivian hospitality landscape, our top priority is establishing a clear and distinctive identity, both within the destination and across Centara’s growing portfolio in the region. The opening of Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives, alongside Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives, brings to life The Atollia by Centara Hotels & Resorts—a unique multi-island concept offering guests seamless access to both resorts. This addition also marks our fourth property in the Maldives, joining the rebranded Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa – The Centara Collection in the Ari Atoll, and Centara Ras Fushi, our adults-only haven. Together, these four distinctive properties allow us to cater to a wide range of travellers through diverse, thoughtfully designed experiences—another of our key priorities in the Maldives. Equally important has been building the right team. From seasoned professionals with experience in remote and logistically challenging resort openings to internal talent drawn from Centara properties worldwide, our pre-opening team blends expertise with the warmth of our signature Thai-inspired hospitality. I believe that people are our greatest asset, and with the right team in place, we can consistently deliver exceptional service and meaningful experiences for our guests. TDM: Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives opened in November 2024. How has its initial reception been, and what strategies are you implementing to strengthen its position? AJ: Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives has received exceptional feedback since its opening. We recognised early on that creating a tailored experience for the growing family market in the Maldives would have tremendous appeal, and it’s been exciting to see how well that vision has connected with our guests. Our family-centric amenities—including rooms with bunk beds, an extensive water complex with a lazy river, enhanced safety features in overwater villas, and our unique Candy Spa for children—have been particularly praised. Moving forward, our strategy is to further develop our activities and facilities while establishing ourselves as the definitive first-choice destination for families visiting this island paradise. TDM: Centara is known for blending Thai hospitality with local cultural influences. How will this be reflected in the guest experience at these two properties? AJ: The essence of any authentic experience lies in its people, and our local Maldivian team members are the true ambassadors of their culture. While Thai hospitality is celebrated for its warmth and grace, Maldivian hospitality offers a distinct sense of pride and sincerity. At both of our resorts, we embrace elements of Thai culture through various offerings, such as the Suan Bua Thai restaurant and Thai holistic well-being at Spa Cenvaree, as well as our Thai staff who exemplify gracious Thai hospitality to our guests. We are fortunate to provide the best of both gracious Thai hospitality and Maldivian charm, creating a guest experience that is not only welcoming but also rich in culture. Our service goes beyond being professional; it is personal. It is about fostering genuine interactions and sharing a passion for making each guest feel truly immersed in this extraordinary setting. TDM: With an increasing focus on personalisation, sustainability and experiential travel, what unique guest experiences can visitors expect at both properties? AJ: The Atollia by Centara Hotels & Resorts offers guests the opportunity to experience two unique resort environments in one stay. Guests can choose between the vibrant atmospheres of Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives, which features an expansive water park, a winding lazy river, rooms with bunk beds, a candy-themed spa, and engaging activities for younger visitors, or the tranquil luxury of Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives, which provides a sanctuary for wellness journeys and world-class dining. This dual-island setting allows us to customise experiences for a diverse range of travellers. In addition to personalised stays, we prioritise meaningful travel. Both resorts are committed to marine conservation initiatives, responsible waste management practices, and water conservation systems aimed at minimising our environmental impact while preserving the beauty of the surroundings. Guests can also participate in immersive experiences, such as reef-safe diving, guided snorkelling, wildlife excursions with marine experts, and island trips that celebrate local heritage. We are dedicated to creating moments that are not only memorable but also mindful, inviting guests to connect more deeply with the destination, its people, and its ecosystem. TDM: Given Centara’s broader strategy of strengthening its flagship properties, how do these two Maldives resorts contribute to the brand’s global growth vision? AJ: In recent years, Centara has introduced a series of landmark properties, including the luxurious Centara Reserve Samui, the acclaimed Centara Mirage Resort Dubai, and the striking Centara Grand Hotel Osaka. Our two new Maldives resorts build on this momentum and set the standard for future developments, showcasing Centara’s ability to deliver distinctive, world-class experiences that not only deepen our connection with loyal guests but also inspire new travellers. Both properties play an important role in driving the continued growth and global expansion of our brands, reinforcing our commitment to offering exceptional stays across diverse destinations. TDM: How do you plan to develop and train your team to maintain Centara’s reputation for excellence at both properties? AJ: Our focus is on continuously enhancing our products and services across both resorts. We actively engage with our guests and listen carefully to their feedback, as well as insights from our experienced team members. A key part of our approach is a commitment to ongoing development—constantly learning from what works well and identifying areas for further growth. This forward-thinking mindset is at the core of our training approach, ensuring that we’re always evolving and striving for excellence in every aspect of the guest experience. TDM: With nearly 30 years in hospitality and experience in 14 countries, what key leadership philosophies guide your approach to managing luxury and upscale resorts? AJ: What’s helped me in my career is approaching every situation with an open mind. Just because something worked at one resort doesn’t mean it’ll work the same at another. Guests all have different expectations, and each team member brings something unique to the table, so you need to be flexible and ready to adapt. When it comes to the concept of upscale and luxury, I’ve learned that this varies by individual. For some, it could mean a spacious three-bedroom sunset villa with all the extras, while for others, it might be a tranquil week away with family. As a hotelier, it’s about anticipating those different needs and delivering experiences that truly matter to each guest. TDM: This is your fourth resort management role in the Maldives. What unique challenges and opportunities do you anticipate with these two Centara properties? AJ: The Maldives continues to grow as a world-class destination, with a wave of new developments reflecting both its enduring appeal and the strength of its global brand. As travel demands evolve and new markets emerge, we see exciting opportunities ahead. With the launch of The Atollia, we aim to play a key role in this growth by offering guests expanded access to experiences across our two new resorts. From exceptional dining and rejuvenating spa treatments to immersive activities and curated excursions, we look forward to being part of shaping the future of hospitality in the Maldives.

Asia’s most celebrated amateur golf tournament, the Centara World Masters Golf Championship, marks a significant milestone in June 2025 as it marks its tenth year. This landmark anniversary will be celebrated through the tournament slated for 8th to 14th June in Hua Hin, Thailand. This year, more than 450 golfers will tee it up at Black Mountain, Pineapple Valley, and Springfield, reaffirming Hua Hin’s status as one of Asia’s premier golf destinations. Gathered together by a shared passion Throughout the past decade, the Centara World Masters has become a global gathering for passionate golfers, drawing over 3,700 players from 25 countries. Mark Siegel, managing director for tournament co-organiser Golfasian, said: "The Centara World Masters isn't just about trophies; it's about lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and celebrating golf's universal language.” Siegel added that the tournament was little more than a dream ten years ago, but has since become a celebrated tradition with the Asian golf community.
