SAii Laguna Phuket and SAii Phi Phi Island Village, Thailand
SAii, the upper-upscale lifestyle brand from S Hotels and Resorts, has opened its first two resorts in Thailand: SAii Laguna Phuket and SAii Phi Phi Island Village, both nestled on the shores of the country’s southern islands.
SAii Laguna Phuket is a waterfront resort that has undergone an extensive renovation including the creation of an events hall, a seafront restaurant, and an enhanced beachfront bar. The property is nestled on the shore at Bangtao Beach, as part of Laguna Phuket, the integrated resort at Bangtao Bay.
Situated on a 800m beachfront, SAii Phi Phi Island Village has completed a series of improvements to its accommodation and amenities. The open-plan lobby, freeform pool, natural spa and sea-facing restaurants have all been upgraded, and the Hillside Pool Villas have been refreshed and remodelled, with the addition of a two-bedroom option – the resort’s top room category. The resort is further dedicated to preserving the environment through its interactive Marine Discovery Centre.
Both SAii Laguna Phuket and SAii Phi Phi Island Village have introduced a series of wellness and F&B concepts. Mr Tomyam focuses on Thai-inspired dishes with live kitchens and alfresco seating; while Miss Olive Oyl is a Mediterranean-style seafood grill and bar. Lèn Be Well promises a personalised approach to wellbeing through five core pillars: Romance, Relax, Culture, Adventure and Family. Through these signatures, each SAii resort also offers a deep connection with its destination and environment.
