Marriott to build beside pristine Phuket beach

By The Nation

 

 

Marriott International has announced the signing of the five-star Delta Hotels by Marriott Mai Khao Phuket Resort by Thailand's Apex Development PCL.

 

The mixed-use property is due to be fully operational by December 2021 and is set to bring Delta's philosophy to Phuket's sophisticated resort and property development scene, targeting both international tourists.

 

Delta Hotels by Marriott Mai Khao Phuket Resort and Residences will comprise a 179-room hotel, and 58 pool-villa beachfront condominiums with views of the Andaman Sea. 

 

A 10-minute drive from Phuket International Airport, the 14 rai site features 200 metres of beach and a large natural lake. 

 

Pongphan Sampawakoop, chairman of Apex Development, said: "This project on Mai Khao Beach will be the first Delta Hotels by Marriott-branded hotel in Southeast Asia. With the Delta Hotels by Marriott brand, we are looking forward to welcoming international business and leisure travellers and savvy resort home buyers to one of Thailand's most exciting resort destinations."

Are they building a new sewage treatment plant for it too? ????

I'm sure they will be advertising a 'Private beach'.

 

Laem Singh  is going the same way. "Mandarin Oriental, Phuket will be located on one of the rare undeveloped beachfront sites still to be found on ‘Millionaire’s Mile’ on the west coast of Phuket island. It will occupy 9.5 hectares of land in the secluded and picturesque Laem Singh Bay.The site itself encloses a white sand beach with rocky outcrops, providing excellent access for snorkelling and swimming."

 

Different rules about 'private beaches' when the big boys come to town.

Probably not, just cesspits that need to be pumped empty by the "Lavender wagons"!

Interesting. This project certainly follows TAT's vision of Thailand becoming a destination for the "higher class" of tourist.

Marriott are not 'building'. Marriott have signed a contract to manage a hotel being built by a Thai company. And by the time it is complete, Marriott may not even be the manager - things change. The Swisshotel on Wireless in BKK was originally a Hilton.

"ahh the difference between dreams and reality!" - which is also quite often the difference between lies and the truth.  ????
