US-based resort management company Outrigger has been selected to manage a luxury collection of residences, villas, town homes and apartments being developed by Laguna Resorts & Hotels in Phuket.
The new collection will be named “Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas”. When complete, it will consist of 309 two-, three- and four-bedroom units, many with their own private swimming pools. The first units will be ready for occupancy in the fourth quarter of of this year, with the remainder completed in 2011.
Outrigger is a relatively recent arrival in Phuket but is already managing Serenity Terraces Resort on the shore of Chalong Bay and the West Sands Resort on Mai Khao Beach, both high-end resorts.
“We are excited to work with Laguna Resorts on this great new luxury product,” said David Carey, president and CEO of Outrigger Enterprises Group. “Laguna Phuket has such a well-deserved reputation as a quality resort and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”
Laguna boss Michael Ayling was equally complimentary. “We’re positive that Laguna Phuket will greatly benefit from Outrigger’s quality management services of Laguna Village.”
About half of the 309 units have been completed, with the remainder scheduled for completion in 2011. Amenities at the resort will include a beach club, private clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, an Angsana spa, retail shops and restaurants.
