Bangkok-based Akaryn Hospitality Management Services (AHMS) announces the development of Cambodia’s first true luxury resort on a private island near Sihanoukville. The resort is being developed in partnership with RPB Investment, a European company that specializes in real estate projects.
Anchalika Kijkanakorn, Managing Director of Akaryn, said: We are excited to be a pioneer in developing the first luxury resort in Sihanoukville. The potential of the destination as a future tourism hub is obvious but it currently lacks adequate and responsible developments to become a major player in South East Asia.”
Sihanoukville is a three-hour drive south-west from Phnom Penh. Its newly-built airport recently opened with flights scheduled to connect it with Siem Reap and the capital.
Akaryn’s resort is being developed on a private 10-hectare island, located just seven kilometers off the coast of Sihanoukville. It will feature 28 ultra luxury pool villas with at least 150m2 of living space. It will also have dining, spa, yoga and executive meeting facilities.
The resort is being designed by Amata, an upcoming Bangkok-based architecture firm, whose previous work includes the award-winning Sala Phuket, Zeavola Resort on Phi Phi Island and Sila Evason on Koh Samui. Construction is due to start in 2010 and will end by 2012. In the first year, rates are expected to reach US$900 per night.
