Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket goes from idyllic beachside lounging to a picturesque wedding reception under the stars

Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket offers an ideal blend of tropical luxury and cultural flexibility, making it a beloved choice for Indian weddings. Located directly on the white sands of Karon Beach, with stunning sunset views and the turquoise Andaman Sea as a backdrop, the resort features spacious event venues such as our beachfront lawn, elegant poolside areas, and a Grand Ballroom with five breakout rooms. In the past year alone, we’ve hosted over a dozen Indian weddings—each tailored to reflect our guests’ unique cultural traditions and personal style. Our ability to cater to multi-day events with ease, privacy, and heartfelt service makes us truly stand out.

We pride ourselves on culinary flexibility. Our chefs are well-versed in various Indian cuisines—from rich North Indian dishes to Jain and South Indian specialties. Upon request, we also collaborate with external Indian caterers to ensure authenticity for highly specific regional menus. Popular catering trends include live chaat stations, tandoori grills, Indo-Thai fusion setups, and curated vegetarian menus—all presented with flair and flavor.

Our events team is experienced in orchestrating Indian weddings and understands the flow of multi-day celebrations—from mehendi to sangeets to the main wedding day and post-wedding festivities. While one of our most iconic weddings was a Western-Indian fusion event, it highlighted our ability to embrace and deliver cultural rituals and ceremonial needs with care, flexibility, and precision.

Yes, we offer Indian wedding packages that are fully customisable. These typically include venue hire, setup and décor, AV systems, mandap arrangements, ceremonial seating, and a dedicated wedding planner to manage every detail. While we do not offer full resort buyouts, we can allocate dedicated spaces and coordinated scheduling to ensure privacy and personalisation throughout the multi-day celebration.

The beachfront lawn is a favourite for wedding ceremonies, especially at sunset, offering a picturesque backdrop of the ocean and sky. Our Grand Ballroom, with five adjacent function rooms, is ideal for large sangeet nights, reception dinners, and after-parties. Couples also enjoy intimate welcome dinners or cocktail hours at our poolside venues with views of lush greenery and ocean breezes.

One of our standout celebrations was a three-day Western-Indian fusion wedding. The beach ceremony at golden hour was followed by a candlelit lawn dinner, complete with fairy lights, live music, and traditional performances. The festivities ended with a glamorous ballroom reception featuring DJ sets, signature cocktails, and dance performances. Each event was deeply personal, and our team was honoured to bring the couple’s vision to life with elegance and heart.

We’re currently enhancing our outdoor event spaces and expanding our wellness offerings, such as bespoke bridal spa treatments and pre-wedding yoga sessions. As always, our commitment remains centred on heartfelt Thai hospitality, rich cultural sensitivity, and creating unforgettable wedding moments that couples and guests will cherish forever.
