New water park complex coming to Phuket
Phuket is getting a new aqua park.
The US$40 million Blue Tree Phuket water park is scheduled to open next year and is billing itself as the island’s first international-standard, integrated water park and family entertainment centre.
Set around the signature Blue Tree Lagoon, it will feature retail and dining outlets, a waterpark, a beach club, and health and fitness facilities.
It will be helmed by Michael Ayling, former MD of Laguna Phuket.
"We are delighted to be announcing what we feel will be a key component in Phuket’s tourism future as we are confident Blue Tree will appeal to families looking for high quality entertainment," Ayling said.
"Phuket’s tourism market has changed considerably over the past ten years. We now see strong demand for inland attractions driven by Thai families, residents of the island and the growth of the independent-travelling international tourism market. All three markets have one thing in common: a need for high-quality, family-focused entertainment away from the beach."
Spanning a total of 17,000 sqm, the water park will have multiple water slides, a splash zone, artificial beaches and a cliff jumping attraction.
