Set to open early 2020, the new-built 170-key InterContinental Yao Yai Resort will offer four main room categories.
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has inked an agreement with Soraya Development Company Limited to develop the InterContinental Yao Yai Resort on Phang Nga Bay's largest island.
Set to open early 2020, the new-built 170-key InterContinental Yao Yai Resort will offer four main room categories.
The first will consist of 72-square metre ocean view rooms with a panoramic view suite on the top floor, complete with a plunge pool, while families can opt for a room or suite in one of three family-designated buildings featuring water slides, pool access and the brand signature Planet Trekkers Programme.
Planet Trekkers allows families to explore the world together and cultivate a deeper understanding of the world around them.
There will be 18 one-bedroom units situated on the lagoon and creeks — or the beachfront pool villas, encompassing 10 one-bedroom, one two-bedroom, and one three-bedroom units.
Phang Nga Bay attracts over five million visitors annually and this number is expected to rise substantially, thanks to continuous infrastructural development, according to Rajit Sukumaran, chief development officer, Asia Middle East Africa, IHG.
Along with three restaurant and bar outlets, a gym, pool, spa and resort centre, the hotel will offer the Water Facilities Centre, high-end transfer to and from the hotel, as well as meeting facilities and wedding arrangements.
The Phang Nga Bay development marks Soraya Development Company Limited's third property with IHG, bolstering its current portfolio which includes Holiday Inn Resort Krabi Ao Nang Beach and Holiday Inn Express Krabi Ao Nang.
