Andakira Group will soft-launch the Andakira Crest Tri Trang Resort & Spa Pool Villas this December, on the southern tip of the Thai peninsula of Patong.

Andakira Group is a Thailand-based private equity conglomerate set up in 2007 to develop lucrative sustainable tourism real estate projects.

The new resort will feature 119 bedrooms in addition to 39 pool villas and will be one hour away from the Phuket International Airport and a two minute walk to the nearest swimming beach. It will be a five-star eco-friendly luxury hotel between 50-70m (164-229ft) above sea level, set in a natural tropical rainforest.

The Anda Spa and Holistic Wellness Village will feature four separate single treatments, two for dry therapies and two for water-based treatments. There will be a further five double spa suites, each with an individual spa pool and private bathroom. A four-bed massage room will also be available. There will be a sala pavilion for meditation, yoga, Tai-Chi – located near a flotation therapy pool amidst a herbal and rock garden. A detox and spa cuisine programme will be offered to guests too.

Adjacent to a nature reserve, the resort will include a total of six food and beverage outlets, a fitness centre, an infinity swimming pool and access to mountain bikes, jungle trekking expeditions and Thai cooking classes.

In addition to a multi-purpose business meeting hall, the resort will focus on creating its own organic fruit, vegetable and herb gardens. It also plans to stock a wine cellar with more than 300 local and international labels.

“The southern tip of the unspoiled Patong Peninsula has emerged as one of the most attractive markets in the world," said Ea-mon Likit-It-tiruks, chair and president of Andakira Group. "With a Rosewood project on its way and the location and timing of this Andakira project, it allows for a truly first rate small upscale luxury hotel on this incredible island.”

The Rosewood project mentioned by Likit-It-tiruks is due to open in 2016 on Phuket’s Emerald Bay with a Sense spa plus 87 villas, 20 residences and five hideaway homes.
