THE INSIDE SCOOP

JIRARAT NINPRADUB, the General Manager of Le Méridien
Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort highlights their focus on delivering
unforgettable guest experiences and their commitment to community
and sustainability.

What sets apart Le Méridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort
from other luxury resorts in the area?

Phuket is indeed a melting pot, offering diverse landscapes and areas
that cater to a variety of needs. The Mai Khao area, in particular,
exudes peace and serenity, positioned midway between nature, and the
vibrant city area of the island. What sets the resort apart is our strong
branding and unwavering dedication to our ethos. Our resort concept
is a seamless blend of locality and modernity, a reflection of the Le
Méridien brand’s core values of ‘Chic, Culture, Discovery.’ We take
pride in incorporating these elements into every aspect of the resort,
from design to culture, ensuring a unique and enriching experience for
our guests. Furthermore, we place a strong emphasis on sustainability
by implementing food waste reduction programs and utilising solar
energy. Our commitment extends to supporting the local community
through ethical sourcing of ingredients, partnerships with local artisans,
and collaboration with nearby schools.

The Thai-Indian community is known for their fondness for luxe holiday destinations,
delicious cuisine, and largescale events. What parts of your hotel’s vision and design do
you think will appeal the most to those in the Indian community?

Here, we hold our guests in high regard, especially noting a significant increase in Indian guests, who
comprised one fifth of our capacity in the last quarter. We prioritise catering to diverse holiday needs,
whether it’s a romantic getaway for two or a family vacation. Our accommodations, activities, and
event spaces are designed to accommodate all types of stays. Recognising the desires of travellers from
India and abroad for exploration and engaging activities, our resort stands out with its prime location,
diverse dining options, luxurious experiences, extensive range of activities, and family-friendly facilities.

What are the ways that you can accommodate the unique needs of Indian weddings?

We are open to hosting buy-outs for weddings, having recently booked our first Indian wedding, and
are looking forward to welcoming more in the future. With our ideal location, dedicated staff, diverse
F&B options, and well-appointed accommodations, our resort is perfectly-suited for wedding buy-outs.
With a total of 244 keys, we can accommodate weddings of various sizes with ease.
