Outrigger Laguna Phuket to Open New MICE Facilities

The Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort has unveiled details of its brand new meeting space, designed to host events from November 2014 onwards.

Named after the Similan Islands in the Andaman Sea near Phuket, the Similan Ballroom and three meeting rooms called Tongfah (Sky), Tawan (Sun) and Talay (Sea),will position Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort as one of the best medium-sized meeting facilities in Phuket.

The four meeting spaces feature complimentary Wi-Fi, natural daylight in all meeting rooms including the Similan Ballroom, dedicated technical support, an event and catering team, and state of the art audio visual and conference amenities.

The Similan Ballroom measures 716sqm; the Tongfah 158sqm; the Tawan and Talay breakout rooms are 77sqm each.

The Similan Ballroom can comfortably host executive conferences of up to 350 delegates in theatre style and 290 guests banquet style.

A few steps away, the setting is perfect for a variety of events outdoors. Extensive gardens and the beachfront create inspirational settings for team building activities and outdoor banquets. 

Tony Pedroni, General Manager of Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort, said the new facility will offer team building programs with a "uniquely Thai twist" that will connect customers with local culture.

"Our commitment to the MICE sector will be underpinned by the support of a dedicated events team for each client meeting," said Pedroni. "Outrigger hosts will work with clients to deliver inspirational service quality that will match the superlative setting of our beachside location." 

The greater resort community of Laguna Phuket offers the 18-hole Laguna Golf Club, spas, and over 30 restaurants and bars.

The Outrigger property is a 20-minute road transfer from Phuket International Airport.
