BANGKOK - Dusit International has officially rebranded The Beach Club at Lubi Plantation Island.
The Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation resort has introduced new beachfront villas and a range of dining and recreational facilities.
Located on a private island, Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort is one of the three Dusit properties that were launched in partnership with Torre Lorenzo Development Corporation (TLDC) in Davao, Philippines, this year. The other properties include dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residence Davao.
Set within a former coconut plantation and surrounded by reef, the resort has been patterned after the award-winning Dusit Thani Maldives on Mudhdhoo Island in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
The design and architecture of the villas were inspired by the tropical modernist designs of the late architect Geoffrey Bawa and the colonial Sri Lankan coconut plantations of the 1920s.
The resort now offers a total of 18 luxury villas plus a new international restaurant, a games and entertainment centre, and fully equipped dive centre.
The 1950s-inspired Tamsi Hall is available for meetings and events for up to 160 guests, while a church with a capacity of 200 persons is ideal for weddings.
To reach the island, guests can choose between a 30-minute catamaran boat ride from the Port Jetty at dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residence Davao; or travel for 1.5 hours by land, passing through coconut plantations, and then take a five-minute boat ride at Pindasan Port.
