New GM named for Thanyamundra Organic Resort
12 June 2012
South African Shaun Dünhofen has been appointed general manager of Thanyamundra Organic Resort.
Dünhofen has spent most of his career in operations and management at luxury boutique resorts including W Retreat & Spa and Per Aquum Resort & Spa in the Maldives, The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka, The Manor in New Delhi, Aman-i-Khas in Rajasthan, and Amanusa and Amanjiwo in Indonesia.
The nine-suite resort and retreat is located in the mountains of Khao Sok National Park. With Asian antique-filled suites in two Thai-inspired golden teak villas, Thanyamundra has been transformed from the home of a European entrepreneur into a retreat. Facilities include the 50 meter lap pool overlooking the villas, farm and valley, a professional athlete level gym, and a yoga room.
The resort is part of Thanyapura, Phuket's campus of health, wellness, sport and educational offerings, including the Olympic-standard sports facilities of the Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Club, the Mind Centre, and Phuket International Academy. Each of Thanyamundra's suites are equipped with such amenities as wireless Internet and LCD flat screen TVs, Thai silk interiors, and private bathrooms with separate rain showers.
