Located within the Andamanda Waterpark complex in Kathu District, Andamanda Voyage, Curio Collection by Hilton, scheduled to debut at the end of 2026, will set a new benchmark for resort hospitality in one of Thailand's most popular beach destinations. The 246-key resort marks the Curio Collection brand's debut in Phuket, joining a global portfolio of over 200 Curio Collection properties, each designed for travelers seeking distinctive, high-end stays in sought-after destinations and locally inspired design that evokes each property's unique character.
