SAii Resorts, the free-spirited and sustainable lifestyle brand from S Hotels & Resorts, has affirmed its position as the brand-of-choice for discerning global guests with the announcement that Serandipians, the prestigious luxury travel network, has selected SAii Laguna Phuket as an official venue for its annual conference in 2025.
This newly-renovated five-star resort, which is nestled between the glistening lagoons and shimmering sea on Phuket’s sunset coast, will welcome Serandipians’ global network of travel consultants for an immersive five-day summit from 3-7 March 2025. Running under the theme “The Essence of Phuket”, this illustrious event will enable the agents to rediscover SAii Laguna Phuket, which is currently undergoing an extensive programme of upgrades to attract distinguished international explorers with a passion for storied elegance.
Perfectly situated just steps from Bang Tao Beach on Phuket’s highly desirable sunset coast, SAii Laguna Phuket is being transformed to reflect the concept of a traditional lagoon house, updated for the modern era. Under the brand’s new “Sustainable Sleep” concept, guests can enjoy a luxurious night’s sleep with state-of-the-art, eco-friendly mattresses and opulent Persian fabrics, while the new SAii Spa will artfully blend ancient Asian wisdom with cutting-edge solutions to promote holistic wellness. Experience-seeking travellers can chat to the resort’s InSAiider Guide, a local area guru who will infuse the services of a concierge with an extra layer of local knowledge and insight, and a series of groundbreaking F&B programmes will allow foodies to enjoy exceptional cuisine, including a “SAiisational Breakfast” and authentic Thai dishes.

With a choice of upmarket accommodation, including the sunlit Premium Lagoon View Rooms, the luxurious Premium Club Lagoon View Rooms, and the contemporary Premium Lagoon View Suites, this impressive resort is successfully blending heartfelt Thai hospitality with international standards in an unparalleled setting. Set to be unveiled in December 2024, SAii Laguna Phuket’s new concept will make it the ideal option for Serandipians’ respected global community of travel experts, which now comprises 570 member agencies in 74 countries.
This major annual conference will be staged in SAii Laguna Phuket’s world-class event centre, which showcases 2,000 square metres of elegant, technology-enabled function space with two ballrooms, a series of light-filled meeting rooms, the beach and poolside. This impressive standalone venue has already hosted a series of highly prestigious international events, including the APEC Conference in 2022.
Reflecting SAii’s deep commitment to sustainability, SAii Laguna Phuket has also adopted a wide range of “Green Meeting” solutions in line with the Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau’s (TCEB) Thailand MICE Venue Standards. Ranging from reusable table decorations and recycling bins in meeting rooms, to green transport options and group activities that support local communities, these practices give meeting planners peace of mind that their event is both sustainable and responsible. Powered by solar panels, the resort also strives to minimise its waste, water and energy consumption, in line with S Hotels & Resorts’ overall goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
Mr. Bart Callens, Cluster General Manager of SAii Resorts, said: “We are delighted that Serandipians has selected SAii Laguna Phuket to the official venue of its 2025 annual conference – one of the most prestigious occasions in the luxury travel calendar. We look forward to greeting delegates and presenting the results of our extensive renovation project, which will elevate us to the pinnacle of the five-star sector.
