After 2 years of development, the first X2 resort officially opened its doors on schedule, in December 2007.

X2 Kui-Buri, the first and only designer resort in the beachside town of Kui Buri in Prachuap Khiri Khan province is spearheading the growth of Kui Buri town.

“To open any resort or hotel on time is an outstanding accomplishment,” said Anthony McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of X2 Resorts. “Everyone, from the operations team to the construction crews, from the county building officials to the incredible X2 Kui Buri staff should be very proud of this achievements.”

For X2 Resorts, the opening of X2 Kui-Buri is a welcoming sign. The designer resort brand has another ongoing project on Koh Samui, scheduled to open June 2008.

Managed by Astudo Hotel & Resort Management, X2 Kui-Buri offers a refreshing blend of metropolitan sophistication, superior facilities and sensory-rich products and services. The resort is ideally situated besides a peaceful seaside village near Kui-Buri, just south of Hua-Hin and only a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. This resort of high-end villas is set amidst four acres of virgin beachfront land and provides a sanctuary of peace.

   

X2 Kui-Buri is expected to be one of the leading premier resorts in the region and has already received local and international coverage leading up to its much anticipated opening. Major feature stories about this award winning design resort have featured in Wallpaper magazine, Elle Décor (UK), Futurarc (Hong Kong), Living Deco (Spain) and Artravel (France and International). Additionally X2 was accepted as a member of the exclusive European “Design Hotels” member group, who will represent the resort throughout Europe and America.

The resort rooms comprise of 1 owner villa, 1 suite deluxe villa, 2 deluxe pool villas, 19 pool villas and 4 bungalow-styled villas, designed by Bangkok-based architect Duangrit Bunnag. The villas range from 70 sq.m to 255 sq.m. in size.

Each semi-private villa is sculptured in mountain rock walls, expansive glass paneled doors and generous bedroom and bathroom spaces. Furnishings and fixtures in the villas were chosen to be consistent with the X2 concept for luxury in design and function. The pool villas showcase a private plunge pool ranging from 20 sq.m. to 30 sq.m. in size and also a private terrace and garden courtyard. All spacious bathrooms feature both indoor and outdoor shower.
