Centara Welcomes Saudi National Day Holidaymakers with Exceptional Maldives Experiences

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – As Saudi Arabia prepares to celebrate its 96th National Day on 23 September 2026, Centara Hotels & Resorts has unveiled a selection of special experiences and offers for travellers from the Kingdom seeking an exceptional holiday in the Maldives, combining luxurious accommodation, white-sand beaches, marine adventures, wellness and distinctive dining experiences.

Among the group’s featured destinations for the occasion are two contrasting Maldivian escapes: Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives and Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, offering experiences tailored to families, couples, wellness seekers and marine adventure enthusiasts.

Located in North Malé Atoll, Centara Grand Lagoon Maldives features spacious two- and three-bedroom residences set over the water and along the beachfront. The resort is also home to six restaurants, four cafés and comprehensive wellness and fitness facilities, including SPA Cenvaree Retreat, a dedicated yoga pavilion and a modern fitness centre.

Guests can enjoy scuba diving, water sports and ocean excursions, alongside a range of activities designed for families and younger travellers. The resort’s “Endless Summer in the Isles” offer includes complimentary round-trip luxury speedboat transfers for two adults when booking a stay of four nights or more, valid for stays until 15 October 2026.

Selected accommodation packages also include a spa credit of up to USD 60, approximately SAR 225, per person per stay. The offer is available for bookings made until 30 September 2026, for stays through 31 December 2026.

In South Ari Atoll, Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives offers a different experience for travellers drawn to nature and underwater adventure. Surrounded by vibrant coral reefs, the resort provides access to more than 50 dive sites, with opportunities to encounter turtles, reef sharks and a diverse range of tropical marine life.

One of the area’s most notable dive sites is the Kudhi Maa shipwreck, a 52-metre vessel that has developed into a thriving artificial reef since it sank in 1999, attracting a wide variety of marine species.

Beyond diving, guests can enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding or unwind at the award-winning SPA Cenvaree, set amid a tranquil natural environment beneath a centuries-old banyan tree believed to be more than 200 years old.

Coinciding with the Saudi National Day travel season, the resort’s “Machchafushi Summer” offer provides a 25% discount on seaplane transfers for stays of four nights, increasing to 50% for stays of nine nights or more. The offer is valid for stays until 15 October 2026.

Spa credits are also available with selected accommodation packages, starting from USD 30 per person with the Half Board Plus package and reaching USD 40 per person with the Full Board Plus package.

The offers form part of Centara Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to providing Saudi travellers with a diverse range of holiday experiences during the National Day break, combining privacy, relaxation, wellness and marine exploration in one of the Indian Ocean’s most sought-after destinations.
