DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, November 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The inaugural Condé Nast Traveller Middle East Readers’ Choice Awards 2025 have just been announced, and Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives, located within The Atollia by Centara Hotels & Resorts, has earned a place on the list. The paradisical resort has been recognised as a Favourite Overseas Leisure Hotel, marking a significant milestone for this captivating destination. Celebrated for its privacy, refined elegance, exceptional dining experiences, and holistic wellness journeys, the property has quickly become one of the region’s most desirable five-star retreats in the Maldives.

Designed to connect with all the senses, Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives blends the pinnacle of elegance with uninterrupted seclusion. Its collection of beachfront and overwater villas and residences has been thoughtfully crafted for guests seeking a peaceful Maldivian retreat shaped by natural beauty. The resort’s contemporary aesthetic is softened by organic textures, calming palettes, and Thai-influenced touches, creating an environment that feels serene, barefoot, and beautifully private.

Across the island, elegant simplicity defines every stay. The resort features private decks for quiet moments and plenty of immersive water sports and marine adventure throughout. Its wellness philosophy is further anchored by SPA Cenvaree Retreat, a haven dedicated to holistic healing and renewal. Drawing on time-honoured Thai traditions, each treatment is curated to restore harmony, awaken the senses, and nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Signature therapies, couples’ rituals, and rejuvenating beauty treatments allow guests to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with their natural rhythm.

Dining is another hallmark of the resort, where flavour, craftsmanship, and soulful hospitality come together. Guests can explore vibrant tandoors and teppanyaki live stations at The Gallery, savour Mediterranean seafood at Bluefin, or enjoy refined cocktails and sunset views at Sunset Social. For further indulgence, The Club offers gourmet breakfasts, curated grape pairings, and intimate culinary experiences, while Coco Drift delivers poolside refreshments with a laid-back island spirit.

This accolade from Condé Nast Traveller Middle East recognises Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives’ rapid ascent in the region. Earning one of the most coveted titles within months of opening highlights the resort’s service, guest satisfaction, and overall experience, while reinforcing Centara’s growing footprint and rising consumer preference in the Maldives.
