From local treasures to a global oasis: the Metadee story

Humble shells, whispering dreams in a… nutshell

Beneath the vibrant tapestry of Phuket Old Town, a humble shop named Methee held a legacy. Within its sun-drenched walls, Boomma and Methee nurtured a dream as delicate as the handpicked cashew nuts they meticulously selected. Each shell resonated with the warmth of a familiar “Sawasdee”. Methee wasn’t just a shop; it was a haven amidst the bustling markets, a space where travellers were welcomed and served the finest cashews. Here, amidst the clinking of shells and the murmur of shared stories, a narrative of quality and Thai hospitality began to take root.

From Hidden Groves to Ocean Views

Years bloomed, as they carried dreams beyond the market walls. The small cashew nut shop, once a seed, blossomed into a grander vision. The couple yearned to extend their welcome, to offer a service more magnificent than any one shell could provide. This aspiration took flight as Metadee Concept Hotel, an ode to excellence, comfort, and the everlasting warmth of family hospitality.

The story of the new Kata Beach luxury hotel began in 2008 with its first concept “Resort and Villas”. This family-friendly resort, nestled amidst lush greenery and tranquil serenity, boasted over 80 blissful private villas and rooms. Here, guests found an invitation to lose themselves in nature’s embrace.

Inspired by its success, a second concept, “Elite” , unfolded in 2022. Expanding the property by 265 keys, this poolside paradise exuded a touch of distinctive design mixed with artistic sensibility. Each element, carefully chosen, and resonating with the love and care poured into crafting a home-away-from-home.

Everything, from the signature pool to the locally sourced fruits and pastries gracing breakfast baskets, whispered the story of their journey. Through each sun-dappled pathway, lined with fragrant frangipani trees, echoes of the passion that once graced the inviting cashew shop lingered in every footstep.
