InterContinental unveils luxury residences on Kamala Beach
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Proud Real Estate, has launched The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort, a new luxury residential project on Kamala Beach, Phuket. This $70 million (THB 2.5 billion) development marks the brand's second residential venture in Thailand, following the success of InterContinental Residences Hua Hin. The project offers 111 private units across two seven-storey buildings, with prices starting from $420,000 (THB 15 million). Nestled between lush rainforest and the Andaman Sea, the residences are designed as "The Edge of Heaven," completing a design trilogy inspired by Tribhumikatha cosmology. Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director for South East Asia and Korea at IHG Hotels & Resorts, stated, "This partnership with Proud Real Estate extends InterContinental’s heritage of refined hospitality into a residential experience designed for everyday living." The architecture, crafted by Habita Architects, reinterprets Phuket’s Sino-European heritage with modern sensibilities, whilst PIA Interior creates a sanctuary inspired by Peranakan artistry and Thai storytelling. The development also features wellness-led amenities, including hydro-massage pools, meditation areas, and access to the resort’s Sati Spa and MICHELIN-recognised dining. According to C9 Hotelworks Asia Branded Residences Market Review 2025, Thailand leads Asia in branded-residence supply, with Phuket holding the region’s strongest resort-destination pipeline. The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort reflect a shift towards provenance, sustainability, and service excellence, offering a tranquil luxury experience rooted in culture and clarity. ```

Intercontinental goes ‘residential’ at Phuket
Exterior of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort, nestled between Kamala Beach and Phuket’s forested hillsides. Morning light rises from the mountains, brushing the hillside villas before easing towards the calm Andaman. Between turquoise shallows and rainforest ridges, The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort express a quieter kind of luxury — measured, modern, and unmistakably Phuket. Set on Kamala’s coveted west coast, a pocket of Phuket known for its privacy, soft surf, and sense of ease, the THB 2.5 billion (USD 77 million) project marks a second collaboration between Proud Real Estate and IHG Hotels & Resorts’ InterContinental brand. This follows the sold-out success of InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, with Proud Real Estate extending the brand’s Phuket presence into residential form beside the island’s Two MICHELIN Keys resort. “Phuket continues to mature as one of Asia’s most desirable destinations for both travellers and homeowners,” says Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director for South East Asia & Korea at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Our partnership with Proud Real Estate builds on InterContinental’s legacy of refined hospitality, translating that service culture into everyday living.” Rooftop Facility & Sky Meditation The art of restraint Architecture by Habita Architects reworks Phuket’s Sino-European heritage into a soft modern vocabulary: stone façades, shaded courtyards, wide balconies that catch the sea breeze. The vision is rooted in “Far East Paradise” sensibility, where tropical serenity meets refined cultural resonance. Interiors stay tactile and uncluttered, with natural light and calm geometry, while subtle Peranakan and resort-inspired gestures bridge the award-winning InterContinental Phuket Resort’s design story with new residences. Habita’s team describes the project as a study in rhythm and restraint. Every block is angled to frame sea or mountain views, creating privacy without isolation. Courtyards break the massing into human scale, while limestone details and locally woven screens soften the tropical light. Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Real Estate "We designed a home that breathes,” says Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Real Estate. “Every element — light, material, proportion — serves the idea of effortless living, where the island’s calm becomes part of the architecture.” Wellbeing by design The residences are preparing for Fitwel Certification, embedding wellbeing into structure rather than slogans. Solar energy, water-management systems, and natural ventilation handle the eco-logic; rooftop arrays feed communal power, while grey-water recycling sustains the resort’s tropical landscaping. Blending contemporary Thai design with private hospitality-style amenities at The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort. Hydro Massage, Aqua Symphony, and Technogym zones bring high-tech ease, set within a biophilic landscape and almost 2,000 sq.m. of dedicated green space beyond the resort facilities. Residents also tap into the resort’s Sati Spa and MICHELIN-recognised dining, supported by 24-hour concierge and butler services. Morning swims in the private lagoon, lunch at Jaras under the palms, sunset at Pine Beach Bar. Residents move with the resort’s rhythm yet keep the privacy of home. Yacht charters, dining, and spa time are arranged through the concierge team. “Phuket’s shift toward wellness-led luxury mirrors the InterContinental ethos,” adds Bhalla. A quieter kind of boom According to C9 Hotelworks’ Asia Branded Residences Market Review 2025, Thailand leads Asia with 18 percent of total branded-residence supply, and Phuket holds the region’s largest resort-destination pipeline — 3,201 units across 24 projects. The island’s luxury housing market has matured from flash to finesse, with buyers now prioritising provenance, sustainability, and service over spectacle — a trend echoed across Asia’s resort destinations from Bali to Da Nang. The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort fits that shift, combining architectural discipline with the assurance of a global brand. With only 111 exclusive residences, the project is designed for absolute privacy and tranquility by the Andaman Sea. Homes range from one-bedroom suites to five-bedroom penthouses, fully furnished and priced from THB 15 million. Sales are now underway at InterContinental Phuket Resort, Kamala Beach. Ultimately, it’s an address for those who see luxury less as a statement, and more as a state of ease.
InterContinental Halong Bay Resort Weaves Its First Festive Season in Splendor
This festive season, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort unveils its inaugural celebration under the evocative theme “Golden Nets, Gathering Joy” — an homage to the fishing heritage of Ha Long Bay and the enduring art of connection.

Guests can also unwind with a 60-minute spa treatment for two — a serene interlude amid the season’s vibrant celebrations.

At Marina Kitchen, the season opens with A Holiday Symphony, a lavish dinner set menu honoring timeless festive flavors.

At Hidden Lagoon Spa, the rhythm of the holidays gives way to a sanctuary of calm and renewal. The Festive Glow Journey features Infrared Sauna Therapy, a gentle detox experience that soothes muscles, improves circulation, and restores vitality — the perfect reset after a long year. Complementing it, the New Year Renewal Ritual offers full-body rejuvenation on an Alpha Quartz Sand Bed, where natural quartz warmth helps release tension, enhance circulation, and reveal radiant, refreshed skin. Each treatment harmonizes precise technique with festive serenity — guiding guests toward balance, tranquility, and a renewed sense of self to close the year in peace and welcome the next in radiant energy. Throughout the season, guests are invited to immerse themselves in a calendar of special moments — from exquisite dining journeys and family activities to creative workshops by the bay. Each celebration is a golden thread woven into a tapestry of joy — where people come together, shine brightly, and welcome the new year with hope and delight at the heart of Ha Long’s wonder. Bookings for The Magical Bay package are available from now until 5 January 2026, for stays between 5 December 2025 and 5 January 2026. A minimum of two consecutive nights is required, and the offer cannot be combined with other promotions.

InterContinental Halong Bay Resort Unveils Premier MICE Facilities
InterContinental Halong Bay Resort, now open in the exclusive Ha Long Marina Urban Area, has unveiled its purpose-built event spaces, equipped with advanced audio-visual systems and powered by interactive meetings technology. Serving as a central hub, the Meetings Centre offers omnidirectional microphones, a Logitech video-conference camera, four expansive LCD screens, and customisable LED lighting, designed to support more immersive events. As the Asia-Pacific MICE industry accelerates—valued at USD 212.83 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 328.97 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 9.10%—Vietnam has emerged as one of the region’s most compelling destinations for business events. The country’s MICE sector is forecast to grow to USD 7.28 billion by 2025 and to USD 9.76 billion by 2030, driven by government investment, improved infrastructure, and increasing global connectivity. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its natural beauty, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is designed to meet the growing demand for MICE and corporate travel in the region. The resort offers a comprehensive range of venues, accommodating everything from international conferences to intimate board meetings, complemented by a tailored programme of immersive cultural experiences. “Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a leading MICE destination, supported by enhanced connectivity, expanding international flight networks and streamlined e‑visa procedures making it easier for global organisations to plan and deliver events,” said Jesper Bach Larsen, General Manager, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort. “Our dedicated venues and flexible spaces allow planners to deliver seamless meetings and at the gateway to Ha Long City, we offer culturally rich, immersive experiences that redefine what luxury incentives and corporate travel can truly mean.” The resort’s approach to incentives focuses on authenticity and immersion. Tailored excursions offer delegates rare access to local life in Ha Long Bay—whether sailing through limestone karsts on a private cruise, visiting floating fishing villages such as Vung Vieng and Cua Van, or taking behind-the-scenes tours at the Ha Long Pearl Farm. These experiences allow delegates and incentive travellers to connect with the culture and people of the region, reflecting the broader shift towards purpose-led business travel. Event spaces at InterContinental Halong Bay Resort include the Tonkin Grand Ballroom, a pillarless, state-of-the-art space accommodating up to 1,050 guests theatre-style, 810 for receptions, or 680 for banquets. The Cat Ba Ballroom, located on the 6th floor, is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light and can accommodate up to 252 guests theatre-style or 160 for banquets. A range of smaller spaces including the Cong Tay Room, Ngoc Vung Room, Chairman’s Boardroom and a VIP Lounge offer flexible layouts for board meetings, breakout sessions or private dining. For outdoor events, the resort features a landscaped garden for up to 380 guests and a panoramic terrace accommodating up to 390, both offering distinctive al fresco settings. As part of IHG’s Meetings for Good initiative, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort supports planners in delivering more sustainable event experiences through responsible practices embedded across the property. A digital-first approach helps reduce waste, with collateral replacing printed materials and digital signage used for wayfinding, eliminating the need for paper or foam boards. Single-use plastics are avoided wherever possible, with filtered water offered in pitchers, bottled glassware, or at refill stations throughout the meeting spaces. Energy consumption is minimised through reduced HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and lighting policies during set-up, tear-down, event breaks, and overnight downtime. The resort also provides reusable service ware to reduce reliance on disposables. Together, these initiatives reflect the resort’s commitment to shaping the future of responsible travel—aligned with IHG’s True Hospitality for Good purpose and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Alongside its meeting spaces, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort blends productivity and wellbeing, ensuring that guests can transition effortlessly between work and relaxation. Facilities and services include 174 guestrooms and suites, many with panoramic bay views, 60 residences and 41 private villas for extended stays, digital nomads and long-stay executives or incentive groups. A bespoke wellness programme offers jet-lag recovery and stress relief therapies in collaboration with Margaret Dabbs London and Sodashi at the signature Hidden Lagoon Spa, as well as complimentary access to Timeshifter, a circadian science app that helps international travellers optimise their energy and overcome jet lag. Resort amenities include three outdoor pools, the family-friendly Planet Trekkers kids’ club, The Game Room which features a cinema, and beach activities such as volleyball and archery, as well as six eclectic dining venues that take guests on a culinary journey of regional and international flavours. InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is conveniently located just two hours from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport, offering purpose-built facilities for meetings and events set against the dramatic natural beauty of UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay, with tailored incentives and bleisure opportunities for corporate travellers.
