Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property
development companies, has marked the launch of The Beach Club at Lubi
Plantation Island, Managed by Dusit, an exclusive island retreat in the Davao
Gulf, Philippines.
Commanding
an impressive location at the heart of Lubi Plantation, an 36-hectare
master-planned leisure township within a former coconut plantation, The Beach
Club invites visitors to experience an upscale island lifestyle amidst
unspoiled reef, coral gardens, exotic marine life, and lush tropical fauna.
Easily
accessible by boat from the mainland, the family-friendly retreat features a
large swimming pool, a children’s play area, an events hall, the Tarictic Grill
& Snack Bar serving barbecued favourites, and a private beach stretching 50
metres. Visitors can also easily arrange to explore the island’s prime snorkelling
and diving sites.
Owned by Torre
Lorenzo Development Corporation, The Beach Club at Lubi Plantation Island, Managed
by Dusit marks the first stage of a three-pronged project which will
also include two hotels – dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residence Davao. Both
of these properties will be located in the heart of Davao
City’s new central business district, Lanang, only 30
minutes by boat from The
Beach Club, and just 15 minutes by car from Davao International
Airport.
Slated to open in February 2019, dusitD2 Davao hotel comprises
120 well-equipped guest rooms and suites
decorated in a contemporary, vibrant style. The focal
point of the hotel is a lush, landscaped courtyard featuring a lap pool, a wading
pool, a children’s pool, and deck areas for relaxation. From here, guests will
enjoy direct access to an international restaurant, lounge areas, and a lobby set within a striking,
glass-enclosed pavilion.
Other
hotel offerings include Namm spa, a state-of-the-art gym, four meeting rooms,
and two large ballrooms accommodating up to 1,000 guests. Dusit’s signature
Benjarong Thai restaurant is expected to open in mid-2019.
The Dusit Thani Residence Davao hotel, meanwhile, is slated to open adjacent
to the dusitD2 property in April 2019. The hotel will comprise 178 well-appointed
studios and suites.
