Centara Hotels and Resorts' second property at Ao Nang in Krabi, Thailand - Centara Anda Dhevi Resort and Spa Krabi - is to undergo a soft-launch in September.
It follows the signing of a management contract with Anda Dhevi Resort and Spa Company in 2011 for the new-build destination, which will be spread across five buildings.
Facilities will comprise a Spa Cenvaree offering four treatment rooms, in addition to a 43m swimming pool with waterslides and Coco's swim-up bar and a Camp Safara kids' club.
The Palm Court all-day dining restaurant; a fitness centre; two meeting and events rooms; and the Lobby Bar and Lounge will also feature as part of the resort.
Chris Bailey, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Centara Hotels and Resorts, said: "We now cover a broader range in the increasingly popular resort of Krabi, and this makes us stronger in southern Thailand."
Meanwhile, the operator is to launch a 10-day Facebook auction on 29 June to allow people to participate and bid for low room rates at three of its boutique resorts.
Bids will be accepted on the three properties and the highest price at the end of each day will receive a voucher at that value.
