Phuket's Tri Vananda, an expansive integrated health concept, has enlisted the services of global real estate firm CBRE as the project manager to create its exceptional wellness facility.

Nestled within 96 hectares of lush forests in northern Phuket, conveniently close to the international airport, Tri Vananda, which translates to "forest of lasting happiness" in Sanskrit, is the brainchild of Montara Hospitality Group, renowned for the exclusive Trisara resort.

This venture marks Montara's most ambitious project yet, and they have joined forces with CBRE, a global leader in real estate services and investment, to steer Tri Vananda towards realization.

To ensure the highest quality design and development of the wellness resort, Tri Vananda has also engaged acclaimed consultants. Habita and Arsomsilp, renowned architects known for innovation and sustainability, are leading the architecture, while P49, esteemed for its exquisite aesthetics, is responsible for the interior design.

Situated amidst pristine lakes and forests in the heart of Phuket, Tri Vananda artfully combines biophilic philosophy with luxury wellness experiences. The project, set for a grand opening in Q4 2025, will comprise a luxury wellness resort, a residential wellness community with villas, and a protected wetland nature reserve.

This collaboration with CBRE, Habita, Arsomsilp, and P49 emphasizes Tri Vananda's commitment to delivering an unparalleled wellness resort experience. These partnerships harness world-class expertise in project management, architectural innovation, and luxury design, ensuring the expectations of future wellness resort guests are not only met but exceeded.

"We are thrilled to bring together a team of such high-calibre professionals," remarked Kittisak “Kitt” Pattamasaevi, the CEO of Montara Hospitality Group. "CBRE's project management expertise, combined with the creative insights from Habita, Arsomsilp, and P49, will undoubtedly help us realize our vision for the wellness resort at Tri Vananda. Their collective experience and skill will undoubtedly add to the prestige and quality of our project."
