The property will have 92 residential units, with one restaurant, a swimming pool, a business corner and a beach club. Design and planning for Centara Pelican Bay Resort & Spa Krabi will start in the middle of this year, with the soft opening due in the first quarter of 2017. The resort will have 210 rooms. Facilities will include two restaurants and a bar, a swimming pool with snack bar, a Spa Cenvaree, a banquet room, a business centre, a fitness centre, and a kids’ club.
