Outrigger to manage huge Laguna Phuket development
BANGKOK – Outrigger Enterprises Group will manage a new luxury collection of residences, villas, town homes and apartments being developed by Laguna Resorts & Hotels on Bang Tao Bay on the northwestern coast of Phuket.
The new collection will be named “Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas”.
When fully built out, it will consist of 309 two-, three- and four-bedroom units, many with their own private swimming pools. The first units will be ready for occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Laguna Phuket is a 1,000-acre mixed-use tropical resort with six deluxe resort hotels (Banyan Tree Phuket, Sheraton Grande Laguna, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, Laguna Beach Resort, Allamanda Laguna Phuket, Laguna Holiday Club Resort), the Laguna Phuket Golf Club, spas, restaurants and bars as well as a retail shopping centre.
Laguna Resorts & Hotels, a public company listed on the Thai stock exchange, developed the Laguna Phuket Resort starting in the mid 1980s from the remains of an abandoned tin mine once thought to be too polluted to develop.
Approximately one-half of the 309 units in the new development have been completed, with the remaining units scheduled for completion in 2011.
Amenities at the Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas will include a beach club, private clubhouse, fitness centre, tennis courts, an Angsana spa, as well as retail shops and restaurants.
In three years, Outrigger has grown its presence in Southeast Asia to include five resorts in Phuket and Bali, as well as properties in Hainan Island, China, and Vietnam.
