IHG Hotels & Resorts today announced Kimpton Phang-Nga Natai Beach, a new-build resort, in partnership with Natai Venture Co, Ltd.
Set to open in 2028, the 150-key beachfront resort will introduce the Kimpton brand to Phang Nga, one of Thailand's emerging coastal destinations. With two well-loved and award-winning hotels, Kimpton Kitalay Samui and Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, this latest signing strengthens IHG's growing presence in southern Thailand and adds to a strong pipeline of future Kimpton properties across Thailand, including Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin, Khao Yai and Pattaya, reflecting growing demand for luxury lifestyle hospitality in the market.
Kimpton Phang-Nga Natai Beach will feature 150 guestrooms, suites and villas nestled within lush tropical landscapes. Guests will enjoy a range of lifestyle-driven experiences, including diverse dining concepts, from all-day restaurants to beach and lobby bars, alongside a spa, swimming pools, fitness centre, kids' club and versatile function spaces.
Located on Natai Beach in Phang Nga, just 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport, the resort is well positioned to capitalise on the destination's growing appeal. The upcoming Andaman International Airport in Phang Nga, targeted to open in 2032, will enhance regional connectivity and support its long-term growth as a vibrant travel destination.
With direct access to one of Thailand's most pristine coastlines, the resort will offer a beachfront escape shaped by the natural beauty and relaxed rhythm of Natai Beach. Blending design-led experiences and with a strong sense of place, it will provide guests with an engaging and memorable stay that celebrates the destination's unique character.
IHG currently operates 42 hotels across 11 brands in Thailand, with a further 39 properties in the pipeline, and is committed to introducing new brands and new stay experiences across the country. Kimpton Phang Nga Natai Beach is the second IHG resort to be signed in Phang Nga after InterContinental Phang Nga Bay Resort.
