Slated to open in 2027 on the island’s west coast, the new luxury Layan Verde property will be developed in conjunction with Phuket-based VillaCarte Group.
Dusit Collection debut
The dual-branded luxury hotel and apartment complex will be located just 800 metres from Bang Tao Beach, where Dusit has operated the renowned Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket resort for over 30 years.
Layan Verde spans over 108,000 square metres and comprises 15 mid-rise buildings designed by architect Mohammed Adi, Chief Design Officer of Dewan Architects + Engineers.
Set over five buildings comprising 398 rooms, the Dusit Collection – Layan Verde hotel is the first property to be signed under Dusit’s new luxury Dusit Collection brand.
Dusit will also manage another five buildings comprising 388 rooms under a Dusit-branded residence.
Guests and residents at Layan Verde can experience a range of premium lifestyle facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness centre, a swimming pool, a kids club, a rooftop bar, and a banqueting space.
The project will also encompass a shopping centre and an ocean club. All components, including the hotel and residences, are slated to open in 2027.
Reflecting VillaCarte Group’s vision for sustainable real estate development, as well as Dusit’s commitment to having a positive impact wherever the company sets foot, the entire project follows the concept of Biophilic Architecture with a focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, inspiration from nature, and environmental conservation.
In keeping with this philosophy, the hotel and apartment interiors will be finished with eco-friendly, moisture-resistant materials complemented by premium, high-quality furniture. Advanced EDGE-certified technology will be implemented to decrease water and electricity consumption by up to 45%.
A sustainable partnership
“Our partnership with VillaCarte Group represents a unique opportunity to redefine luxury residential living in Phuket,” said Mr Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Global Development, Dusit International.
“By combining Layan Verde’s stunning location and commitment to sustainable design with Dusit’s over 75 years of experience in Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, we will create a truly world-class offering that caters to the discerning needs of locals, residents, guests, and investors alike. This project perfectly complements our existing Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket resort and further strengthens our commitment to providing exceptional hospitality experiences in Phuket.”
Mr Maxim Spiridonov, VillaCarte Group Co-CEO, said, “Dusit International is renowned for its gracious hospitality and expanding network of properties worldwide. Collaborating with the company is the first step in our strategy of partnering with reputable global brands, and we are confident Dusit’s expertise will help elevate Layan Verde to the level of a landmark project and an iconic symbol of Phuket.”
