16 November 2011
Outrigger Hotels and Resorts has announced that it will manage the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa as its third hotel property in Thailand.
The resort will continue to operate under its current name, Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa, until November 1, 2012, when it will be rebranded as Outrigger Phi Phi Island Resort and Spa.
Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa, which has 112 villas, four restaurants, two bars, a spa, fitness centre, and a dive and activity centre, is located on the quiet northern peninsula of Phi Phi Don island.
Thirty-eight new villas will be built over the next year, bringing the total number of villas in the resort to 150. Renovations worth US$1.7 million will be made to the property to align it with Outrigger's brand standards prior to the resort's relaunch as Outrigger Phi Phi Island Resort and Spa on November 1, 2012.
"Phi Phi island is famous for its absolutely majestic scenery, and the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa is a magical, award-winning property. We are proud to have been chosen to manage this iconic resort and welcome this property into our growing collection of beachfront resort hotels in Asia-Pacific," said Darren Edmonstone, Outrigger's Managing Director for the Asia-Pacific region.
