Marriott International recently signed an agreement with Jee Teng Hospitality to open Sheraton Nai Harn Beach, an impressive new-build resort that will mark the debut of the iconic Sheraton Hotels & Resorts brand in Phuket, Thailand’s leading resort destination. Expected to feature 600 keys, this property is set to become one of Phuket’s most exciting new hotel openings.
“This signing marks the debut Sheraton Hotels & Resorts brand in Phuket and an exciting expansion of our collaboration with Jee Teng Hospitality. With the upcoming launch of Sheraton Nai Harn Beach, Marriott International and Jee Teng Hospitality will operate two outstanding properties in Phuket, totaling over 1,000 keys with three additional projects in the pipeline. This follows the successful debut of Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort in 2020,” said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International. “With Phuket, Phang Nga, and Krabi now forming Marriott’s second-largest destination in Thailand, with 17 hotels and resorts, this milestone also highlights the incredible potential of the region”.
With nearly 430 hotels in 70 countries, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts is Marriott International’s most widespread global brand, and the signing of its inaugural location in Phuket marks a significant milestone for the portfolio. Guests can look forward to discovering Sheraton’s new design and inviting spaces that foster a sense of belonging, connection and collaboration, providing an experience that draws on the brand’s mission to become ‘The World’s Gathering Place.’
Nestled within a 4.3-hectare beachfront site, just steps from the soft golden sands and clear turquoise seas in a secluded corner of Phuket, Sheraton Nai Harn Beach is set to become a haven for couples, families, and meeting planners alike. The majority of the resort’s 600 rooms, suites and villas is expected to offer uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea, while the warm, shallow waters set the stage for exhilarating activities, with a dedicated beach sports center for kayaking, paddle-boarding and more.
At the heart of the hotel, bright and vibrant public spaces will make all visitors feel welcome as they gather with loved ones and make new connections. Throughout their stay, guests can expect to cool off in two swimming pools, work out in the large fitness center, and feel soothed in the spa, which is anticipated to feature six treatment rooms for Thai-inspired massages, wraps and body scrubs. Plans also include for the resort to feature a Kid’s Club for young explorers and 763 square meters of function space to host events including weddings.
The Nai Harn area is known for its peaceful charm, including local restaurants, boutique shops, and lively a beachside night market. The spectacular sunset and sunrise vistas of Promthep Cape, Phuket’s southernmost point, are just 3km away, the heritage-rich streets of Phuket Town can be reached in just over 30 minutes, and Phuket International Airport is an hour’s drive away.
“We are delighted to strengthen our long-standing relationship with Marriott International and grow our hospitality presence by bringing the iconic Sheraton brand to the tranquil setting of Nai Harn Beach,” comments Saharat Jivavisitnont, Executive Director, Jee Teng Hospitality. “At Jee Teng Hospitality, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional resorts that meet the growing demand of Phuket’s thriving tourism market.
