“The new Pullman Phuket Arcadia is being developed an 40 rai
of headland in the Nai Thon area. There is 68 rai available, the remainder of
which will be osed for further development in the future,” Mr Narukapichai
said.
The resort will comprise 281 rooms incliding three styles of
guest room, superior,deluxe and seven pool villas. Each villa will have four
large individual guest rooms over two storeys, but each room will consist of
each its’ own private facilities.
Of the seven private pool villas, six will be one-bedroomed
and two-bedroomed villa.
“The resort is constructed on a cliff and we do not wish to
spoil the natural aesthetic qualities, so the structures will not extend above
three storeys.” Mr Narukapichai added.
International hotel management chain, Accor will control
daily operations, as with the Hilton Phuket Arcadia and facilities will
incorporate both leisure and corporate market requests.
A 200-seat capacity meeting room with three individual nreak
out rooms will provide for busuness individuals alongside a chill-out room a
new concept of Pullman branding that will enable further networking.

spa treatment rooms, two swimming pools (one of which is Olymoic-sized) and a
kids club while dinners can avail of three outlets: an all-day international
cuisine restaurant, an Italian restaurant and delicatessen.
“Luxury resorts must be able to adapt and equipped to cater
for all markets. During the high season we will focus on the liesure market
such as families and couples. In the low season we can vary our focus towards
MICE and more corporate markets,” Mr Narukapichai explained.
The project has a
budget of approximately 1.5 billion baht and is utilizing established Thai
companies for all aspects of the development.
Construction is being managed by Bangkok firm, Poweerline
Engineering.

with notable examples of their work at the Paresa Resort and Malaiwana.
“I am confident in the collection of companies we have
chosen to work with. Certainly, I consider our selections to be the lead in
their respective categories in terms of experience, not only in thailand, but
also abroad, “ Mr Narukapichai said.
With sustainable energy technologies and eco-friendly
constructs now beging incorporated into many large developments, the PullmanPhuket Arcadia will employ several options such as waste water recycling for
their vast landscaping requirements.
“With the project aiming ti be finished by August 2012, we
hope to fulfill the needs of our target markket and further enhance the goals
