Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort will open a new meeting and events centre in January 2020.
The new Similan Ballroom meetings and events centre will offer 640 square metres of flexible meeting and exhibition space, including a pillar-less ballroom with six-metre high ceilings with movable partition walls.
The main ballroom, at 448 square metres, can be separated into three multi-purpose function spaces to create six dedicated meetings rooms.
The facility is set to transform the beachfront resort into “the complete meeting venue”, according to general manager Tony Pedroni.
“The magnificent new Similan event space compliments the ever-expanding range of services and visitor experiences offered in Laguna Phuket and the immediate neighbourhood,” said Pedroni.
“The whole area is now defined by superlative shopping, entertainment, dining and active lifestyle options for sport, ecotourism and responsible event hosting.”
The space will also include a large pre-function area, a VIP lounge and a private entrance for delegates.
Coinciding with the launch of the new event space, the 255-key Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort is reinforcing its commitment to environmental innovation for the meetings sector.
Responsible ‘green’ events will be central to Outrigger’s MICE offering, focusing on eliminating single-use plastics including bags, food containers, straws, capped water bottles and utensils.
