Asia Superyacht Rendezvous on the move!

by Asia Superyacht Rendezvous on 12 Jul 2016 Organisers of the long-standing Asia Superyacht Rendezvous are delighted to announce Sala Resort & Spa as the event ‘Host Hotel’ on the lush island of Phuket, Thailand.

The exquisite waters of the Andaman Sea surrounding Phuket will usher in stunning superyachts from around the world at the 16th annual Asia Superyacht Rendezvous to be held 16–18 December 2016.

“The Asia Superyacht Rendezvous will once again bring superyacht enthusiasts together in a relaxed and uniquely Thai atmosphere”, note long-time organisers, Captain Charlie Dwyer and Gordon Fernandes, as they invite yachts of 75’ (25m) or longer to join the prestigious event.

Nicolas Reschke, Group Director of Business Development for Sala adds: “We are delighted to be the official Host Venue for this year’s Asia Superyacht Rendezvous. We believe that Sala Phuket Resort and Spa with its focus on personal and private service, culinary offers and design complements the high end experience of the participating Superyachts. As a host venue we strive to be a meeting place for think alike minds coming together to enjoy the best accommodations that sea and land has to offer.”

The deluxe pool villa resort and spa is outstandingly situated at Mai Khao Beach, which when combined with Nai Yang Beach to the south, is the longest stretch of sandy beach on the island, covering 9 km. A special thrill may also be in store for Rendezvous guests - October through February is when giant sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on this stretch of sandy white beach.
