AccorHotels to Launch Pullman Khao Lak Resort in Partnership With Khaolak Inter Company

ACCORHOTELS HAS signed an agreement with Thailand-based real estate developer Khaolak Inter Co., Ltd. to launch Pullman Khao Lak Resort opening in 2021. The resort is the group’s second partnership with Khaolak Inter Co., Ltd. following the opening of Novotel Phuket Patong in 1996.

The flight reachability to Khao Lak is 80 kilometres south in Phuket International Airport. Should ongoing plans of Phang Nga Airport come to fruition, it will provide the first commercial aviation gateway to Khao Lak.

 “This partnership marks an important step for AccorHotels and we are very excited to partner with Khaolak Inter Co., Ltd. to expand our portfolio in Southern Thailand with the Pullman brand. Pullman represents global nomads of hyper-connected travellers and sophisticated explorers who enjoy combining work and pleasure,” said Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer AccorHotels Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and the Maldives.

Located just an hour’s drive north of Phuket Island on the gorgeous Andaman seaboard, Khao Lak is one of Thailand's most peaceful resort destinations. A rare oasis for a private getaway and relaxation, Pullman Khao Lak Resort offers beachfront accommodation with expansive white sandy beaches.  Designed by award winning Tierra, Design and Hypothesis, Pullman Khao Lak is situated in a tranquil stretch of gentle-sloping beach in Khaolak near to the historical heritage town of Ta Kua Pa.

The resort features 50 family suites and a large kids club specially designed for guests travelling with children. For couples and business travelers looking for a peaceful getaway, the resort also offers 7 private villas and an adult-only infinity pool that overlooks the Andaman.

“We look forward to another exciting partnership with AccorHotels with the launch of Pullman Khao Lak. The resort offers travellers a gorgeous backdrop of the island’s sunsets with stunning views of its surrounding nature that showcases a rich historical local culture. The combined expertise with AccorHotels will give us an opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the local community in the area.” said Michael Choo, Director of Khaolak Inter Co., Ltd.

To wine and dine, the resort offers an all-day dining, a specialty restaurant and lobby bar. Wellness facilities include three pools, health and fitness centre, a beach club and a spa.  For meetings, weddings and corporate events, the resort features two meeting rooms with two breakout rooms.

There are currently over 120 Pullman hotels in 33 countries worldwide and Asia Pacific accounts for more than 70 hotels and resorts and more than 21,000 rooms. Pullman will continue to expand its portfolio with Pullman Nadi Bay Resort and Spa in Fiji; Pullman Doha in Qatar; Pullman Mandalay Mingalar in Myanmar; Pullman Westlands in Nairobi; Pullman Luang Prabang in Laos; and Pullman Tokyo Tamachi in Japan.
