Dusit Signs Dual-Branded Hotel and Residences in Phuket, Thailand

Dark/Light Mode (07/06/24)  Dusit has signed an agreement with VillaCarte Group, a Phuket-based real estate development company, for a dual-branded luxury hotel and apartment complex in the Layan Verde project on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand.

Located just 800 metres from Bang Tao Beach, where Dusit has operated the Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket resort for over 30 years, Layan Verde spans over 108,000 square metres and comprises 15 mid-rise buildings designed by architect Mohammed Adi, Chief Design Officer of Dewan Architects + Engineers, to seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings.

Set over five buildings comprising 398 rooms, the Dusit Collection – Layan Verde hotel is the first property to be signed under the company's new Dusit Collection brand.

Dusit will also manage another five buildings comprising 388 rooms under Dusit Residences – Layan Verde.

Facilities will include an all-day dining restaurant, fitness centre, swimming pool, kids club, rooftop bar, and expansive banqueting space.

All components, including the hotel, residences, a shopping centre and an ocean club, are slated to open in 2027.

"Alongside Dusit's renowned five-star standards of service and growing global portfolio of Dusit Hotels and Resorts, we were also impressed by the size and scale of the upcoming Dusit Central Park project in Bangkok. Its design, seamlessly integrating a luxury hotel and residences with sustainable features like a public roof park, aligns perfectly with our own commitment to creating a harmonious blend of nature and contemporary luxury at Layan Verde," said Vadym Bukhkalov, VillaCarte Group Co-CEO. "This shared passion for sustainability is the cornerstone of our exciting and promising partnership with Dusit. We're confident it will be a long-term collaboration filled with meaningful success."

Dusit's portfolio now includes 301 properties operating across 18 countries, including 57 properties operating under Dusit Hotels and Resorts and 244 luxury villas under Elite Havens, a leading provider of luxury villa rentals in Asia, which Dusit acquired in September 2018. There are also more than 60 Dusit Hotels and Resorts in the pipeline.

"Our partnership with VillaCarte Group represents a unique opportunity to redefine luxury residential living in Phuket," said Khun Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Global Development, Dusit International. "By combining Layan Verde's stunning location and commitment to sustainable design with Dusit's over 75 years of experience in Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, we will create a truly world-class offering that caters to the discerning needs of locals, residents, guests, and investors alike. This project perfectly complements our existing Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket resort and further strengthens our commitment to providing exceptional hospitality experiences in Phuket."
