Construction Update November 8, 2022Development Team Visiting Key Partners in Thailand

The Pavilions Phuket: A taste of the excellence that awaits our future guests at The Pavilions El Nido.

Our development management team members, Kathy Solis (Chief Communications Officer), Karlo Davila (Business Development) and Louis Cousin (Head of Investments) were warmly hosted by The Pavilions Phuket, Elena Orru, their General Manager and Staci-Lee, their Marketing Manager at The Pavilions Phuket. The main purpose of their visit was to experience first hand the quality of the accommodation, as well as the excellence of their service that will soon be experienced in El Nido.

The team was also able to witness first-hand the travel rebound at The Pavilions Phuket with occupancy rate reaching 90% booking for November and even higher occupancy is expected for peak season.

Our Philippine development company, Eureka Resorts is constructing a world class branded luxury beachfront estate The Pavilions El Nido, and another global-brand, Explorar Treehouse El Nido, with its construction to commence in 2023.

EcoTown El Nido: a Vision Under Construction

In the journey to make this exceptional development, in 2020 the project launched international sales to overseas investors and two years later, the first hotel development of villas has been nearly sold out, and due to the overwhelming demand for unique luxury villas in El Nido, Explorar Treehouses is now open to investors.

Some of Eureka Resort’s key partners happen to be located in Thailand and so our Sales team also took a trip to Kho Phangan to further solidify synergies between our businesses.

Treehouse Villas Khao Yao: A Best-Selling Hospitality Concept Designed and Manufactured by Underwood Art Factory

Thanks to Zac Underwood who personally arranged it, our team also had the rare opportunity to get a guided tour of the privately owned and operated Thailand resort Treehouse Villas Khao Yao.

Uniquely designed by John Underwood, the Treehouses are luxury villas whose main structure is as solid as elegant, made of hot-dipped galvanized steel (recyclable, anti-rust and ideal to last in tropical climates), stylized with great detail touches, featuring high ceilings and a functional and “feel good” layout that emphasizes outdoor living spaces and the connection with nature.

Warm thanks to Mark Landgraf, the resort’s General Manager who took the team around for a comprehensive tour, sharing valuable information that will for sure help us to articulate to our investors why Treehouses are clearly a winning product in the hospitality market.

It is highly recommended for anyone in search of a profoundly rejuvenating stay in James Bond’s most famous sceneries.

Underwood Art Factory: Creativity Embodied Masterpieces

There are really no words to describe Underwood Art Factory and only someone who has been there could really understand the energy that flows into this unique complex where our Treehouse villas and furniture will be manufactured.

John and Zac, father and son team are very well  known in the industry as hospitality leaders, such that Bill Bensley and Bill Heineke call on them to participate in various design projects for the most luxurious venues all around the world. Earlier on, John was already getting project opportunities in Thailand, eventually specializing in designing and producing products for luxurious hotel decors, particularly using high-quality metal materials.

Underwood Art Factory can also rely on Zac’s growing reputation – developing his own designs, with his own personality and touches, and bringing his youth, talent and energy to a very endearing family venture.

Learn Why Treehouses Villas are in High Demand

You’ll know it soon enough when we release the exclusive video interview that John granted to our Head of Investor Relations, Louis, who had the privilege to get him explaining the full story behind these Treehouses.

You’ll soon also have the opportunity to discover a “behind the scene” factory tour by Zac who took our team around the plant and went into more technical explanations about the design and manufacturing process, based on original designs coming from the artists’ minds, then programmed into computers for error-free precision engineering at the highest quality.
