Mandarin Oriental will manage a new luxury resort on Phuket Island in Thailand, scheduled to open in 2022.

The 105-bedroom Mandarin Oriental, Phuket will be located on one of the few 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 Laem Singh Bay.

A robust spa and wellness offering will be available at the hotel, with the group’s signature wellness therapies and treatments provided in a spacious Spa at Mandarin Oriental. There will also be a well-equipped fitness centre and two outdoor swimming pools.

“Phuket is one of Asia’s leading leisure destinations and we are delighted to have found such a special site on which to develop our resort,” said James Riley, group CEO. “The Group’s established reputation and experience in delivering award-winning service and facilities at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, when combined with this stunning new property, will provide guests a unique proposition for a luxury visit to the entrancing Kingdom of Thailand. We look forward to working with our partners to create this.”
