Discover Thailand with Centara’s expanding portfolio

Newly-opened in December 2023, Centara Ayutthaya gives culture-seeking visitors the chance to explore Thailand’s historic former capital city, Ayutthaya – a UNESCO World Heritage-listed riverside temple complex which dates from the 1300s. At Centara Ubon, nature lovers can also now explore Thailand’s “Emerald Triangle” – the northeastern region which is blessed with lush jungles, national parks and the mighty Mekong River.

Centara is also strengthening its portfolio of beachfront resorts in Thailand’s tropical islands. Centara Reserve Samui became the world’s first five-star Centara Reserve resort when it opened in late 2021, and the launch of Centara Life Lamai Resort Samui this year will let travellers choose from four distinct brands on the exotic island of Koh Samui. Also in 2024, the debut of Centara Villas Phi Phi Island will mark the resort’s arrival in Koh Phi Phi. 

Two of Centara’s most popular flagship resorts are being fully renovated and will be ready to welcome British families by the end of 2024. Centara Karon Resort Phuket is nestled on Phuket’s sunset coast and features multiple pools and waterslides, while Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya is a spectacular “Lost World” themed resort with a world-class water park, family accommodation and a private beach.

Centara is inviting British families to step off the beaten track and discover the wonders of Laos, its evocative, culturally-rich neighbour, at two new hotels. The opening of COSI Vientiane Nam Phu in March 2024 introduced a new era of affordable lifestyle hospitality to Laos’ capital city, close to the Mekong riverside, and the upcoming Centara Plumeria Resort Pakse will bring Centara’s international service standards and first-class facilities to southern Laos, which is famed for its ancient temples and dramatic waterfalls.
