Pattaya, Thailand, November 16, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / Andaz, Hyatt's luxury and lifestyle brand, is making its highly anticipated debut in Thailand with the opening of an elegant new beachfront resort. The resort will offer travelers a pristine new stretch of coastline on Thailand's east coast. Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2023. It is nestled within a private family estate, surrounded by lush forests and historic buildings on Tawanron Beach, on Thailand's stunning coastline renowned for its breathtaking sunsets.

Nestled on a 6.4-hectare beachfront property between the vibrant resort town of Pattaya and the charming fishing village of Bang Saray, this unique beachfront resort brings the region's rich history to life. Designed by the award-winning architecture firm A49, the project preserved the old gardens and mature trees – including the imposing rain tree that greets guests upon arrival. The exquisite Thai teak houses, some of which have stood on the site for over 70 years, have been fully restored. Natural, local materials and handcrafted art define this modern five-star resort.

After a warm welcome at Rain Tree Court with its tranquil pond and enchanting ambiance, guests can relax in Village Square, the resort's social hub. From here, countless opportunities await to unwind and immerse themselves in the local culture – from exciting excursions and activities to authentic dining and wellness, family experiences, and much more.

The 204 rooms and suites (starting at 50 sq m) are arranged in intimate clusters around the gardens and feature locally inspired interiors, walk-in rain showers, and a balcony or terrace with a comfortable lounger. Lagoon-access rooms offer direct access to the gently lapping waters of the resort pool, pool suites invite guests to enjoy a private bath at any time of day, and beach suites are situated directly on the fine sandy beach. For a truly exclusive experience, two historic houses have been transformed into the resort's most sought-after accommodations: a four-bedroom duplex mansion and a stunning six-bedroom presidential residence. Both promise luxurious living with private pools, courtyards, butler service, and ocean views.

Dining is an integral part of the Andaz experience, and the resort offers a selection of six exceptional restaurants and bars. Wok Wok specializes in Thai and Asian stir-fries, La Cucina is an authentic Italian trattoria, Village Butcher is a premium steakhouse where prime cuts of meat are cooked on a pira charcoal grill, and Fish Club is a casual, oceanfront restaurant where fresh, sustainably caught seafood is expertly cooked on a coconut shell grill. The chefs use natural ingredients, including native herbs and spices, from the resort's own organic garden.

In the Teak Lounge, guests can relax under the magnificent rain tree and enjoy refreshments. Ruen Thai is a traditional teahouse with indoor and outdoor seating. The restored, two-story building is also suitable for smaller events. For larger occasions, the light-filled, 300-square-meter garden pavilion offers floor-to-ceiling windows, a foyer, an outdoor terrace, and a show kitchen.

Three sparkling swimming pools offer countless opportunities for relaxation: a tranquil lap pool, a generously sized family pool next to the lively kids' club, and a beach pool that provides the perfect setting for sunset cocktails and lively parties. The Panpuri Spa is a luxurious oasis of calm where guests can enjoy rejuvenating treatments using organic skincare products. The fitness center is equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment and a relaxing yoga room.

Sustainability is integrated throughout the entire resort: rainwater is collected and used to irrigate the gardens, while LED lighting with motion sensors and smart air conditioning reduce energy consumption. Guests can also rest assured that Andaz avoids single-use plastics and uses only responsibly sourced ingredients in its restaurants, including MSC- and ASC-certified seafood.

“We are thrilled to open Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, our first Andaz luxury and lifestyle resort in Thailand. ‘Andaz’ is Hindi for ‘personal style,’ and this unique, locally inspired resort celebrates the individuality of each guest. Our aim is to highlight the charm and personality of this enchanting destination—a still relatively undiscovered corner of Thailand’s east coast. With its low-rise complexes of rooms and villas, shaded courtyards, sparkling pools, and creative event spaces, this exceptional property allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture—in keeping with the Andaz brand and Hyatt’s Boundless Collection,” said Carina Chorengel, Senior Vice President – ​​Commercial, Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.

The Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is located just a few kilometers from Pattaya's tourist hotspots and a two-hour drive from Bangkok. It's easily accessible yet so peaceful that you can find absolute relaxation here. Suvarnabhumi Airport is only a 90-minute drive away, and U-Tapao Airport can be reached in just 20 minutes.
