Singha Estate, one of
Thailand’s premier property development and investment holding
companies, has acquired six properties from the Honolulu-based
hotel chain and management company, Outrigger.
The US$ 310 million acquisition is part of
Singha Estate’s strategic investment approach focused on the
expansion and entry in high-yield tourist destinations around the
globe.
“Singha Estate’s vision aims to drive the
business to become a ‘premier property development and investment
holding company’ generating revenue of THB 20 billion by 2020. We
believe that this strategic investment and acquisition of
Outrigger resorts in four countries will generate recurring income
and further diversify the company’s profile and geographical
risk,” said Naris Cheyklin, Chief Executive Officer, Singha
Estate.
Outrigger will continue to manage the six
properties: Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort and Outrigger Koh
Samui Beach Resort in Thailand, Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort and
Castaway Island in Fiji (pictured), Outrigger Mauritius Beach Resort in
Mauritius, and Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort in the Republic
of Maldives; with a total of 859 room keys.
“With Singha Estate’s esteemed reputation as
outstanding stewards of the properties and places in which it
invests, Outrigger has full confidence that its premier resorts
will continue in exceptional care. This asset sale and strategic
partnership now provide new capital for further expansion while
retaining Outrigger’s brand presence and management of world-class
properties,” said Jeff Wagoner, President and CEO, Outrigger
Hotels and Resorts.
The completion of the acquisition will raise
Singha Estate’s hospitality business portfolio to a total of 4,644
room keys by the end of 2018, with 10 distinctive properties
catered to visitors in global tourist destinations and a
collection of 29 properties in some of the finest locations across
the United Kingdom.
Dirk De Cuyper, Chief Hospitality Officer, S
Hotels & Resorts, a subsidiary of Singha Estate PCL, said,
“These newly added six properties will further elevate the
portfolio of S Hotels & Resorts to a new level. Our guests can
truly relax, play, work, and enjoy a unique experience in quality
settings around the world.”
