Luxury hotel operator reinforces presence in Thailand after introduction of Langham Place Eco Resort & Spa, Rawi Warin, Koh Lanta, Krabi in January
August 2008- Langham Hotels International has signed a new management contract for its first new all-villa boutique resort at Kalim Bay in Phuket, Thailand overlooking the Andaman Sea. The latest addition to the growing Langham portfolio will be the first boutique resort managed by an international brand in Phuket. It also puts the luxury hotel operator on track to develop, manage and operate five properties in Thailand within the next five years.
Scheduled to open in early 2010, Langham Place, Miora Resort & Spa, Kalim Bay, Phuket will comprise of 78 stunning villas including penthouses set on a hilltop location overlooking Kalim Bay, Phuket.
Designer Resort
The resort's design is masterminded by renowned Hawaiian American architect, Clint Nagata of Blink, Bangkok, who has developed a number of major hotel and resort projects throughout Asia Pacific. Nagata's vision is to capture the essence and spirit of the environment in which the project is based. The resort is surrounded by natural forests and affords total sea views for the majority of villas, offering tranquillity and serenity in a distinctive contemporary environment.
Guests of Langham Place are typically more adventurous than the traditional traveler which is why the Miora resort has been innovatively designed to inspire their sense of fun. The resort also seeks to embrace the modern traveler's desire to be part of the local community experience while still remaining wired to their own worlds with lively design, technology and engaging attitudes.
'We're delighted to have signed a new management contract with The Miora Development Company which further establishes our footprint in Thailand,' Dr KS Lo, Chairman of Langham Hotels International said.
'Phuket is a popular resort destination which is well serviced by international flights and established services. However, it has lacked a full-service boutique product which will attract discerning hotel guests looking for a vibrant and innovative getaway,' he added.
Designer Villas
Each villa has been designed to meet the needs of the modern luxury guest seeking a stylish escape in a romantic and stimulating setting.
Each villa will feature apartment-style amenities including private bars and a contemporary entertainment center. With private plunge pools, day beds, and barbeque grills, the resort promises a stunning and rejuvenating retreat for discerning travelers.
Penthouse villas with roof terraces will feature zero-edge pools with day beds as well as tanning lawns.
Designer Pool
A key feature of the resort will be a cantilevered swimming pool that extends from the hill to create an infinity-style effect with a Chuan Spa located directly below it. The pool will also feature a floating tented sala- a perfect venue to enjoy sundowners.
Chuan Spa
Chuan Spa will be introduced to Phuket for the first time bringing a signature range of pampering spa treatments based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
'Chuan' in Chinese means flowing water, as the source of life, water represents the re-birth and re-balancing of one's being. Chuan is amongst the very first hotel spas to incorporate principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine into its signature treatments and operational details from ambience, décor, TCM breathing ritual, tea, and private-label products.
Beach Club Facilities
The resort will also feature an easily accessible Beach Club on the oceanfront which will include all-day dining, a lounge area and specially designed space offering a stimulating range of beach club activities.
Dining
The restaurants and bars on the resort will be ultra chic experiences featuring the finest, freshest cuisines with engaging presentations and sparkling service, making them must-visit destinations in their own right.
'The Langham Place brand matches our exciting vision of a designer boutique hotel that seamlessly connects with our modern guests to deliver a fun and engaging experience. While we are located close to the tourist hub of Patong, we will still be above it all with a luxury boutique hotel.' Daragh Connelly, Managing Director of The Miora Development Company said.
