Outrigger Resorts has acquired the Akaryn Koh Samui Resort and Spa in the Gulf of Thailand for an undisclosed fee and has rebranded it as the Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort.

Outrigger’s managing director for the Asia Pacific region, Darren Edmonstone, said that the acquisition is part of the operator’s strategy “to become the premier beachfront resort brand in the world.”

The 52-key resort remains open for business as an Outrigger property, however future enhancements are planned for the site’s public areas, arrival experience, villas and landscaping. The property’s spa has been rebranded to the signature Outrigger spa brand Navasana Spa.

In addition to five food and beverage outlets, a pool, fitness centre and 300m beach, the operator will be offering a wide range of excursions for guests. For example, trips to the Ang Thong National Marine Park are available for guests.
