OZO to make Samui debut in 2014

ONYX Hospitality Group has completed the groundbreaking for OZO Chaweng Samui, which is scheduled to open its doors in early 2014.

Located in the Chaweng resort area on Koh Samui, OZO Chaweng Samui will be the first OZO in Thailand and the pioneer OZO resort for the brand, which is targeted at travellers looking for insider experiences and a great sleep.

Peter Henley, CEO, ONYX Hospitality Group, said: “We are delighted to be breaking ground for the second ONYX property on the island of Koh Samui. We are confident that our select service brand, OZO, will be a popular addition to the hospitality landscape on this popular resort island, offering comfortable and good value accommodation.”

Once completed, OZO Chaweng Samui will offer 208 guest rooms and innovative communal zones. Recreational facilities will include a swimming pool, a children’s pool, two restaurants and a beach bar.

Since the OZO brand was unveiled in 2009, a number of key projects have been lined up.

The inaugural OZO property, OZO Wesley Hong Kong, will launch in 2013, a deviation from its scheduled late-2012 opening (TTG Asia e-Daily, March 5, 2012). Elsewhere, management agreements have been signed with Sri Lanka’s Sino Lanka Hotels for two upcoming properties in Colombo and Kandy (TTG Asia e-Daily, February 27, 2012).

ONYX already operates the 187-key Amari Palm Reef on Koh Samui.
