BANGKOK, THAILAND: The senior management team at SALA Hospitality Group has reported a promising start for SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort since opening its doors in late January 2018, supported by a team of key hirings including a newly appointed Assistant Director of Sales, Sales and PR Manager, and E-Commerce Manager.

Favourable occupancy levels and strong room rates are in line with a destination thriving at the high end – a market SALA has successfully pioneered in the boutique segment first through SALA Samui Choengmon Beach Resort, followed by SALA Phuket Resort and Spa and before returning to Koh Samui to open its third luxury SALA branded resort in Chaweng this year.

“The opening of SALA Resorts and Spas’ latest property is the first step in our next chapter of growth and expansion. The team has put a lot of hard work into building the brand and ensuring efficient operations. With our handpicked team of sales professionals to help drive bookings, I am sure SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort will follow the footsteps of its sister property and establish itself as a home-grown success story for Koh Samui and Thailand,” said Nicolas Reschke, Group Director of Business Development of SALA Hospitality.
