Centara Hotels & Resorts has continued to expand its presence in the south of Thailand, signing management contracts for three new properties within the same master development in Klong Muang, Krabi.
The agreement sees Centara take over the management of the Centara Pelican Bay Resort & Spa, the Centara Pelican Bay Residence & Suites and the Centara Pelican Bay Villas.
The development of the properties has been led by Perry & Son Co Ltd.
“Krabi has emerged as a prime tourist destination in recent years, and has enormous potential for the future,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, chief executive officer for Centara Hotels & Resorts.
“We are very proud to have been a leader in developing Krabi for visitors, and these three new ventures give us superb scope to add to our presence in this beautiful part of Thailand.”
The first of the three sites to open will be the Centara Pelican Bay Residence & Suites, which is currently in its pre-opening period, with a soft opening planned for early 2014.
The property will feature 92 residential units, with a restaurant, swimming pool, business corner and a beach club.
Centara’s second new opening, the Centara Pelican Bay Resort & Spa, will enter its design and planning stage by the middle of this year, with a soft opening expected in the first quarter of 2017.
As well as 210 rooms, the resort will include a Spa Cenvaree, fitness centre, two restaurants, a bar and a swimming pool with a snack bar.
Other features are to include a business centre, a banquet room and a kids’ club.
The final property, Centara Pelican Bay Villas, will be an all-villa resort, which is expected to be ready for an opening around the same time as the Pelican Bay Resort & Spa.
Centara Hotels & Resorts is one of Thailand’s leading operators of hotels, with 47 deluxe and first-class properties covering all the major tourist destinations in the region.
Centara also has a further 18 resorts in the Maldives, Vietnam, Shanghai, Bali Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Mauritius Indian Ocean, Ethiopia, taking its total of properties to 65.
