Dusit-managed Beach Club opens in Davao

DUSIT INTERNATIONAL on Wednesday said it has officially opened The Beach Club at Lubi Plantation Island, Davao Gulf.
“Ideal for day trips, special events, and memorable meetings, The Beach Club at Lubi Plantation Island offers a unique escape amidst nature, and we look forward to delighting visitors of all ages with our unique brand of Thai-inspired, gracious hospitality in this stunning island setting,” Lim Boon Kwee, chief operating officer of Dusit International, said in a statement.
Managed by Dusit International and owned by Torre Lorenzo Development Corp. (TLDC), The Beach Club is located within the former coconut plantation now being developed as a leisure township.
The Beach Club features a swimming pool, a children’s play area, an event hall, the Tarictic Grill & Snack Bar, and a 50-meter private beach. Guests can also do snorkeling and diving activities in the area.
“The opening of The Beach Club at Lubi Plantation Island signals an exciting time for Dusit in Davao, and we are delighted we can give visitors the opportunity to experience this beautiful sanctuary ahead of the opening of the two hotels — dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residence Davao,” he said.
Aside from The Beach Club, Dusit will also manage two hotels owned by TLDC — dusitD2 Davao and Dusit Thani Residences in Lanang, Davao City. It only takes 30 minutes by boat to go to Lanang from The Beach Club.
Scheduled to open in February 2019, the dusitD2 Davao will have 120 rooms with a “contemporary, vibrant style.” It will also have a lap pool, wading pool, children’s pool, international restaurants, a Namm spa, gym facility, four meeting rooms, and two ballrooms that can accommodate 1,000 guests.
Adjacent to the dusitD2 property, the 178-room Dusit Thani Residence Davao is scheduled to open in April 2019.
Last month, Dusit and TLDC signed a professional management agreement for Dusit International’s management of the first international hotel chain in Lipa City called Dusit Princess Lipa. It is set to open by 2021.
Dusit International is a Thai-hotel brand founded in 1948. Currently, it is operating under four brands namely Dusit Thani, dusitD2, Dusit Princess, and Dusit Devarana.
On the other hand, TLDC is the pioneer in the concept of Premium University Residences. Its properties are located in Sampaloc, Manila (Torre Central); Malate, Manila (3Torre Lorenzo); Las Piñas (Torre Sur); and Taft, Manila (2Torre Lorenzo). — Vincent Mariel P. Galang
