The world’s largest hotel company, based on number of hotels, is one of three hospitality business units of Wyndham Worldwide and has rebranded the Sea Pearl Villas Resort Phuket in Patong.
The 213-room resort, owned by local developer Sea Pearl Business Co Ltd and Sea Pearl Beach Co Ltd, will operate as a mixed-use property managed by Wyndham Hotel Group in partnership with Club Wyndham Asia.
Built in 2011 on 16 acres of hillside, the property boasts 180-degree views of the Andaman Sea.
Onsite facilities include four restaurants and bars; a multipurpose hall for meetings and events, complete with catering; and a five-star day spa. There is also a fitness centre boasting a 35-metre lap pool, fully-equipped gym, yoga room and kids’ club.
Resort services include a free scheduled shuttle to Patong Beach and Jungceylon shopping mall; as well as concierge and limousine services.
The rebranding of Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket marked an exciting milestone for the rapidly expanding company, said Barry Robinson, President and Managing Director of Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific and Wyndham Hotel Group South East Asia and Pacific Rim.
“The launch of our first Wyndham-branded property in Thailand is an important step in the growth of our Wyndham Hotel Group brands in Southeast Asia, with more than 40 existing properties in the region and many more in the pipeline,” he said.
“Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket is our flagship mixed-use property in the region and will offer our hotel guests and Club Wyndham Asia members luxurious accommodation options as well as state-of-the-art wedding and event facilities.
“We are confident that it will be popular with both domestic and international guests travelling for business or leisure.”
Sitikorn Soontornnont, Managing Director of Sea Pearl Group, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with the world’s largest hotel group with its introduction into Thailand. We are certain that the globally-recognised Wyndham brand will be a perfect fit for the sleek and sophisticated style Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket offers.”
Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket will be supported by staff based at the newly established Wyndham Hotel Group office in Singapore.
