Centara Hotels & Resorts, a leading Thai hospitality group, has launched The Centara Collection – a curated portfolio of one-of-a-kind properties that celebrate individuality, authenticity and creativity to immerse guests in the spirit of their destinations.
Inspiring Individuality Through Refined Curation
Formerly known as the Centara Boutique Collection, the portfolio has been transformed and elevated to a new level of distinction. The Centara Collection is committed to Inspiring Individuality, with a refreshed visual identity, a refined curation of member hotels, and an emphasis on the quality and uniqueness of every property. This is set to appeal greatly to travelers with a passion for exploration who seek bespoke experiences as unique as they are.
Centara Hotels & Resorts executive vice-president for commercial Ron Cusiter said: “We are delighted to reveal The Centara Collection, our curated compilation of hotels and resorts that are unified by the fact that they are all completely unique. At Centara, we understand that today’s discerning travelers not only want to visit a destination, they want to experience it. By blending design, creativity and authenticity, all underpinned by our group’s warm, Thai hospitality, we aim to inspire every guest to uncover the spirit of their locale.”
An Elegant Sense of Place
Each member of The Centara Collection will be defined and united by distinguishing features and offerings including distinctive design, immersive local experiences that reflect the culture and heritage of their locale, and curated creativity. These high-end hotels and resorts will strive to enhance their guests’ lifestyles and connect them with their destinations, providing a true sense of place that reflects the essence of its neighborhood.
Centara can now reveal that the acclaimed Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives will be renamed as Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, as it becomes the first international member of The Centara Collection. Blending heartfelt Thai-Maldivian hospitality with best-in-class facilities, including overwater and beachfront villas, this award-winning resort offers experiential stays with a deep connection to nature, including one of the Maldives’ finest house reefs, diving experiences, and aquatic adventures to uncover the underwater treasures of the Indian Ocean.
Stunning Additions to the Collection
The Centara Collection is also joined by two exceptional Thai hotels. The celebrated Roukh Kiri Khao Yai is nestled amid the rolling hills of Northeast Thailand, overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest of Khao Yai National Park. It features just 13 rustic, barn-inspired villas with private outdoor bathtubs or plunge pools, sweeping mountain vistas, and organic gardens. Showcasing the tropical beauty of Southern Thailand, Varivana Resort Koh Phangan is the place where the mountains meet the sea, offering an eye-catching island retreat with 39 stylish rooms, spacious private balconies and a spectacular 28-metre rooftop saltwater infinity pool.
Looking ahead, Centara is seeking opportunities to expand The Centara Collection with more original properties in extraordinary locations, both in Thailand and around the world, with further exciting announcements expected in the near future.
Centara Hotels & Resorts is one of Thailand’s leading hotel and resort operators, with a portfolio of hotels and resorts in Thailand, as well as in the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Laos, Vietnam, China, and Japan.
