Massive 11 hotel project, surf club and waterpark for Kata, Phuket
by Bill Barnett, C9Hotelworks.com
Thai developer K.W. Plaza group has unveiled plans for a large-scale mixed-use project called The Beach Plaza on 15 rai, that will have 11 three and four star hotels with a total of 1.490 rooms. The developer is already pitching the unconstructed project to global hotel interests for an imminent sale.
The properties will have varying room sizes from 25 to 35 square metres and range in size from 78 to 204 rooms. Part of the development scheme will see the hotels individually sold off to hotel investors and/or operators.
Late last year the group built and sold the Surf Resort in Patong which was brokered by JLL to a Singapore-based owner/operator.
Other components of the project include a surf club, waterpark, and freestanding restaurants and retail.
An initial hotel has already obtained EIA approval and is currently for sale, with construction of other properties to be phased. The Beach Plaza is off-beach, behind the Kata Night Market and close to Club Med, Ozo and the Ibis.
