Jumeirah Group, the Dubai-based luxury international hospitality group has been appointed by TGR Group Asia to manage the five-star private island currently under development in Ao Po Bay, Phuket, Thailand.
Scheduled for completion in late 2008, the Jumeirah Phuket Private Island Resort will feature 65 lavishly appointed deluxe pool villas each with private infinity pool and Jacuzzi, 12 three-bedroom luxury residential villas, four restaurants and bars, as well as extensive leisure, spa and fitness facilities, including a large free-form swimming pool and a 100m private, white sandy beach.
Jumeirah Phuket Private Island Resort will be situated on the shores of Koh Raet, an untouched tropical island located just 500m offshore from Ao Po Bay, northeast of Phuket Island in Thailand, providing easy access for guests to the main tourist areas of Phuket Island.
This news follows Jumeirah’s recent announcement of its intention to accelerate its portfolio growth and closely follows the group’s entry into the Southeast Asian market with the planned opening of Hantang Jumeirah Shanghai in July 2008.
