The Outrigger Phi Phi Island Resort & Spa officially opens this weekend, following its rebranding.
From 3 November 2012, the 156-room property, formerly known as the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort & Spa, will be run by the Hawaii-based hotelier.
Outrigger took over the sales and marketing of the property in October last year and has since overseen the refurbishment of the resort including the addition of 44 new Deluxe Garden Bungalows and the upgrade of the fitness centre and restaurants.
“We have started to implement Outrigger international standards across facilities, food and beverage and human resource services,” said Darren Edmonstone, Outrigger’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific. “It’s a completely new era for one of the most beautiful beach resorts in Thailand.”
The new 53m² Deluxe Garden Bungalows are located in clusters, intended to give the atmosphere of a traditional Thai village, but with modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations.
“The new Deluxe Garden Bungalows now give our guests superlative comfort and amenities on a par with the idyllic standards set by Mother Nature all around,” said the property’s General Manager, Marc Landgraf, who was appointed in July.
The resort is located on a quiet peninsula of northeast Phi Phi, with an 800-metre white sandy beach.
