Radisson’s Dual Debut in Phuket: A New Chapter for Thailand’s Luxury Tourism

Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of two premier resorts on Phuket’s breathtaking Layan Beach, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s expansion across Southeast Asia. Radisson Resort Layan Phuket and Radisson Blu Resort, Layan Phuket are set to bring a combined 812 rooms and suites, along with exceptional amenities, to one of Thailand’s most sought-after destinations. These projects underscore Radisson’s dedication to supporting Thailand’s thriving hospitality sector while aligning with the growing demand for sustainable luxury.

Layan Beach: The Jewel of Phuket’s West Coast

Layan Beach, located at the northern tip of Bangtao Bay, offers a serene escape for visitors, blending unspoiled natural beauty with proximity to local attractions. Nestled close to Sirinat National Park and just a 30-minute drive from Phuket International Airport, this destination is expected to play a pivotal role in Phuket’s forecasted 14 million international arrivals in 2024.

Radisson’s dual-property development not only highlights Layan Beach’s potential as a global luxury hotspot but also strengthens Phuket’s reputation as Asia’s premier resort destination.

Radisson Resort Layan Phuket: “Simply Delightful” Stays

Opening by Q4 2026, Radisson Resort Layan Phuket will feature 500 contemporary rooms and suites, including family-friendly two- and three-bedroom options. Guests can enjoy two outdoor pools, a gym, retail shopping, and diverse dining options, all within a short seven-minute walk to the pristine sands of Layan Beach. The resort’s thoughtful design caters to couples, families, and groups seeking an inviting tropical retreat.

Radisson Blu Resort, Layan Phuket: “Feel the Difference”

Set to debut in Q1 2025, Radisson Blu Resort, Layan Phuket will elevate the guest experience with 312 luxurious accommodations, including 31 spacious suites. Premium facilities include three bars (featuring a swim-up pool bar), two restaurants, a spa, a fitness center, and a 230-square-meter meeting space. Like its neighboring property, the Radisson Blu resort offers easy access to Layan Beach, delivering a perfect blend of leisure and luxury.

Commitment to Sustainability and Exceptional Service

Both resorts embody Radisson Hotel Group’s “Every Moment Matters” philosophy and its renowned “Yes I Can!” service ethos. With an ambitious goal of achieving net-zero operations by 2050, Radisson’s focus on sustainability ensures these properties will appeal to eco-conscious travelers while supporting Phuket’s long-term environmental goals. Guests can also benefit from the Radisson Rewards loyalty program, providing exclusive perks and earning opportunities.

Expanding Radisson’s Footprint in Thailand

Radisson’s new resorts join the Group’s growing portfolio in Thailand, which currently includes nine properties across Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, and Phuket. Existing locations such as Radisson Resort Phuket Mai Khao Beach and Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach will be complemented by these exciting additions.

According to Mr. Wang Jing, Chairman of JWP Group, the project’s developer, “These resorts will inject new vitality into the sustainable development of Phuket’s tourism industry. We are proud to partner with Radisson to create iconic destinations that reflect the highest standards of hospitality.”

Ramzy Fenianos, Radisson’s Chief Development Officer for Asia Pacific, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to Phuket’s bright future: “Phuket’s natural beauty, warm climate, and world-class infrastructure continue to attract global travelers. These two resorts will strengthen our position in this thriving market while contributing to a sustainable and prosperous tourism industry.”

A Future of Sustainable Luxury in Phuket

With their dual openings, Radisson Resort Layan Phuket and Radisson Blu Resort, Layan Phuket will redefine the hospitality landscape of Layan Beach, offering a harmonious blend of luxury, comfort, and sustainability. By catering to both upscale and upper-upscale segments, these resorts promise to provide unforgettable experiences for leisure seekers, families, and business travelers alike.

As Phuket continues to attract millions of international visitors, Radisson’s latest developments stand as a testament to its vision for sustainable growth and excellence in global hospitality.
