Dubai-based Jumeirah Group has been appointed by TGR Group Asia to manage a five-star resort under development resort in Ao Po Bay, Phuket, Thailand, the firm said yesterday.
Scheduled for completion in late 2008, the Jumeirah Phuket Private Island Resort will feature 65 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 400-metre private, white sandy beach.
The resort will also offer a marina, a private yacht club, a tennis court, several boutiques,
a business centre and a library with dedicated reading room.
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, providing easy access for guests to the main tourist areas of Phuket Island.
This 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 and the announcement of several senior management appointments for the operations.
