THE Akaryn Samui Resort and Spa has been rebranded under the Outrigger brand after being bought over by Outrigger Hotels & Resorts for a “very good” price.
Bangkok-based Akaryn Hospitality Management Services was the owner and operator of Akaryn Samui, and released its flagship luxury resort to Outrigger for the “very good” offer for the five-star resort, said founder and managing director Anchalika Kijkanakorn.
Now named the Outrigger Koh Samui Beach Resort, the property was launched in 2012 and is situated in Hanuman Bay for privacy. It is 10 minutes away from Samui International Airport.
The resort features 27 Garden Pool Suites, four Ocean View Pool Suites, 3 Ocean Front Pool Suites and 18 Garden Pool Villas, all of which come with a balcony or terrace, private pool, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning.
Three restaurants, a bar, swimming pool with swim-up bar, spa, and fitness centre are some of the other amenities within resort premises.
The acquisition is part of Outrigger’s bid to reach beyond its native Hawaii, as it told TTG Asia e-Daily earlier this year.
There are currently nine Outrigger properties, two each in Hawaii, Fiji, and Thailand, and one each in Guam, the Maldives and Mauritius, and the company is planning properties in Seychelles, Thailand, Indonesia, Micronesian, Palau, Okinawa, the Philippines and Sri Lanka.
