Spacious Outrigger Laguna Phuket Opens with Sensational Rates

PHUKET, 24 September 2009 – Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas in Thailand will open 1 December 2009 with unbeatable value rates for guests. Until 31 March, 2011 the 229 square metre two-bedroom villa will sell at Thai Baht 6,000* (US$176), the 457 square metre three-bedroom pool villa will start sell at Thai Baht 9,000* (US$265), and the 604 square metre four-bedroom pool villa will be Thai Baht 13,000* (US$382).

The prices include daily continental breakfast delivered to the villa, free WiFi internet, butler service, and complimentary transfers to the private Outrigger beach club on the pristine white sand beach at Bang Tao.

“What we are offering is a new kind of holiday in Phuket,” said General Manager Pieter van der Hoeven. “Couples, families and groups of friends from around the world will really enjoy having so much space in Phuket. Why pay the same amount for a 40 square metre hotel room when you can have a private villa with deluxe 24-hour resort services?”

The 68-villa property is located in the Laguna Phuket destination resort, which means that Outrigger guests can take advantage of over 30 food and beverage outlets, spa facilities, and the Laguna Phuket Golf Course. Signing rights at all of these outlets will apply.

At Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas, guests can walk a few metres to their own all-day international restaurant and relax at the adjacent free-form swimming pool. The property has its own gym. Plans are in place to hold picnics, jazz concerts, barbecues and children’s activities in the property’s two large park areas.

“Because of Outrigger’s expertise in mixed use holiday resort projects, we know how to create tropical holidays with a difference, that offer exceptional space, value and service for our guests,” said Darren Edmonstone, Outrigger’s Senior Vice President for Asia.

The special opening rates at Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas, which are valid until 31 March 2011, can be booked online at www.outrigger.com.

* All rates are subject to 18.7% service charge and VAT and are valid from 1 December 2009 until 31 March 2011.
