“Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is strategically located in one of
Southeast Asia’s top holiday and tourist spots, which will establish
Hyatt’s brand presence in this highly sought after resort market,” said
Larry Tchou
, Group President of Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
“Our Hyatt Regency properties aim to create a distinct experience for
guests by catering to their individual needs and allowing them to
connect and recharge, all while incorporating the localness of their
destination. We are thrilled that Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is opening
its doors to share the very best of Hyatt’s authentic hospitality to
travelers from around the world.”
Situated on the exclusive west coast – 10 minutes from both the
beachside restaurants of Surin and the nightlife of Patong, yet only 40
minutes from the international airport, Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is
nestled on a verdant, terraced hillside overlooking the beach of
Kamala
Cove
. From almost every vantage point of the secluded property,
including most of its 199 rooms that each have a private balcony, guests
can enjoy unobstructed, cascading views of the Andaman Sea and its
spectacular sunsets.
“Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort is a unique and extraordinary hideaway
offering tranquillity and seclusion in a stunning, natural setting – an
ideal base for business meetings, families and leisure travelers,” said
General Manager
Keith Massey
.
Amenities and Services
Sunset Grill, on the terraced hillside, is the resort’s signature
restaurant offering both indoor and outdoor dining, focusing on daily
sourced local sustainable products, market-fresh vegetables, seafood,
seasonal selections, and prime meats served from its show kitchen.
Meanwhile, overlooking the pool, The Pool House offers all-day
dining of authentic Thai and Italian cuisine where Executive Chef
Alessandro Martinelli
brings 15 years of culinary experience to create
authentic Italian cuisine with meticulously selected sustainable local
products. In addition, The Pool Bar is where guests can enjoy the
sunset and cocktails accompanied by chill-out tracks from the resident
DJ.
After indulging, guests may wish to work off any extra calories in the
fitness center, equipped with the very latest strength and
cardiovascular machines where they can access the Internet, watch TV or
listen to their own MP3 player while exercising. Alternatively, guests
may prefer to swim a few laps in the expansive infinity pool overlooking
the beach. The 235 square foot pool, flanked by loungers and open salas,
is longer than an Olympic-sized pool and is one of the largest on the
island.
Guests can also enjoy always the resort’s complimentary buggy service
and head to Nahm Spa at the top of the property, which houses eight
private spa suites. Taking “mother ocean” and its ebb and flow as key
inspiration, the spa offers a combination of authentic Thai and
specialist international treatments incorporating indigenous ingredients
wherever possible.
While parents are occupied, children can enjoy the facilities of Camp
Hyatt, equipped with a full range of games, toys and electronic
entertainment, or take part in a variety of activities, such as shell
collecting, sand play and visiting a local worm farm.
When the occasion calls, Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort offers more than
4,300 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and conference facilities,
including a pillar-free ballroom splashed with natural daylight; a
spacious pre-function area; three multi-functional rooms; and a
boardroom. Meeting clients can also utilize the poolside area to create
unique pre- or post-function gatherings. The resort’s dedicated events
team is on hand to make any type of meeting, social event or wedding a
successful and memorable occasion.
A wide variety of room types are available at Hyatt Regency Phuket
Resort, including Ocean View Terrace Rooms, which feature a private 700
square-foot terrace. The larger-than-average rooms, ranging from
473–1,130 square feet, feature a 40-inch LED television and high-speed
wireless Internet access, as well as spacious bathrooms separated by
floor-to-ceiling glass where guests can bathe while looking out over the
Andaman Sea.
For guests requiring a more exclusive experience, Regency Club rooms
have access to a host of exclusive facilities and services, including
personalised check-in and check-out, complimentary breakfast, drinks
throughout the day and evening cocktails, one-hour free use of a meeting
room, and access to the Regency Club infinity pool overlooking the
entire bay.
