Michiel Lugt Joins Indigo Pearl as EAM

Michiel Lugt has joined Indigo Pearl as Executive Assistant Manager.

The Dutch native has worked as Food and Beverage Director at Grace Bay Club Resort, Turks and Caicos Islands, The Hong Kong Jockey Club and De L'Europe in Amsterdam.

His previous position, which concluded last month, was as F&B Director at The Chedi Muscat in Oman. There, he managed a 100-strong team and seven department heads.

Indigo Pearl General Manager, Christopher Oakes said, "We are delighted to have Michiel on board. Every challenge he has encountered has been met, and that's why his is a career in ascent. Indigo Pearl is the ultimate in highly stylised luxury on Phuket's sheltered, more discerning northern end and given Michiel's pedigree at five-star hotels, the fit couldn't be better."

Located 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport, the all-suite and villa property is nestled in Srinath National Park next to a pristine beach and the Andaman Sea.
