Dusit International, a leading hotel and property development company in Thailand, has entered into a partnership with Phuket-based real estate developer VillaCarte Group to manage a dual-branded luxury hotel and residence project in Phuket. This new development, Layan Verde, is set to open in 2027 and aims to become an iconic destination on the island’s west coast.

Located just 800 meters from Bang Tao Beach, Layan Verde spans over 108,000 square meters and features 15 mid-rise buildings designed by Mohammed Adi, Chief Design Officer at Dewan Architects + Engineers. The design focuses on blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, incorporating principles of Biophilic Architecture for energy efficiency and sustainability.

The project will consist of two distinct brands: Dusit Collection and Dusit Residences. The Dusit Collection – Layan Verde hotel will be the first under Dusit’s new luxury brand, offering 398 rooms across five buildings. This brand targets luxury hotels in iconic locations, known for their unique architecture and exceptional guest experiences.

Dusit Residences – Layan Verde will manage another five buildings with 388 rooms. This brand brings Dusit’s renowned five-star hospitality service to luxury condominiums and apartments, leveraging its extensive experience in managing high-end hotels and resorts globally.

Guests and residents at both Dusit Collection and Dusit Residences Layan Verde will enjoy a range of premium amenities. These include an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness center, a swimming pool, a kids club, a rooftop bar, and expansive banqueting spaces. Additionally, the project will feature a shopping center and an ocean club, enhancing the luxury residential offerings in the region.

In line with VillaCarte Group’s vision for sustainable real estate development and Dusit’s commitment to environmental conservation, the project will adhere to principles of Biophilic Architecture. Interiors will feature eco-friendly, moisture-resistant materials and premium high-quality furniture. Advanced EDGE-certified technology will be used to reduce water and electricity consumption by up to 45%.

Siradej Donavanik, Vice President – Global Development at Dusit International, highlighted the strategic importance of the partnership: “Our partnership with VillaCarte Group represents a unique opportunity to redefine luxury residential living in Phuket. By combining Layan Verde’s stunning location and commitment to sustainable design with Dusit’s over 75 years of experience in Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, we will create a truly world-class offering that caters to the discerning needs of locals, residents, guests, and investors alike. This project perfectly complements our existing Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket resort and further strengthens our commitment to providing exceptional hospitality experiences in Phuket.”

VillaCarte Group’s Co-CEO, Maxim Spiridonov, said “Dusit International is renowned for its gracious hospitality and expanding network of properties worldwide. Collaborating with the company is the first step in our strategy of partnering with reputable global brands, and we are confident Dusit’s expertise will help elevate Layan Verde to the level of a landmark project and an iconic symbol of Phuket.”
