Dusit International has signed a hotel management agreement with Earth & Shore Leisure Communities Corporation, a real estate and land‑development company in the Philippines, to operate Asai Camaya Coast, a new 150‑key lifestyle hotel set to open in 2029 within the expansive 20 million square metres Camaya Coast development in Mariveles, Bataan.
The signing marks a strategic milestone for Dusit as it grows its presence in the Philippines, introducing the Asai Hotels brand to one of the country’s fastest‑rising destinations for domestic tourism and short‑break escapes from Metro Manila – accessible in four hours by car or 90 minutes via the Manila-Camaya ferry.
Bataan tourism is driven by WWII heritage sites, scenic beaches, and eco‑tourism appeal. With new leisure offerings, residential communities, entertainment facilities, and infrastructure upgrades such as the upcoming Camaya Airport, the Earth & Shore‑led development is positioned to attract even more travellers.
Asai Camaya Coast will be the brand’s first property within a master‑planned seaside township, offering access to dining and retail areas, outdoor activity hubs, a water park, an 18‑hole golf course, event spaces, and the township’s signature white‑sand beach.
Sustainability is central to Camaya Coast’s vision, with large portions preserved as natural forest supporting fruit trees, orchids, and wildlife. This nature‑first approach aligns with Dusit’s Tree of Life sustainability framework and will enable eco‑friendly, locally inspired guest experiences.
Dusit currently operates five properties in the Philippines, including Dusit Thani Manila and Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort, and has several openings planned from 2026 onwards. These include Dusit Hotel Greenhills Manila, Plaza de Zamboanga – Dusit Collection, Dusit Princess hotels in Lipa and Cebu City, Asai Oslob Cebu, and dusitD2 Residences Cebu City.
