"We have been looking at Phuket for many years, but in the past the infrastructure was lacking. Things are improving now, an extension of the airport is taking place, the formation of the Asean Economic Community [AEC] it all can help Phuket become a playground of Southeast Asia,"Ms. Supaluck added.
The Café del Mar brand has built an inimitable reputation around the globe for its laid back coastal venues and original chill-out tunes. The label was born in Ibiza in 1980 at a bar next to San Antonio beach, and grew from the simple notion that people enjoy a relaxed evening by the sea while listening to great music and sipping on top quality drinks. Since 1994, Café del Mar has been releasing its own compilations of chill out, lounge, ambient, chill house and Balearic beats - music that reflects the spirit and atmosphere of Ibiza. With more than 70 CD releases to date and millions of copies sold, Café del Mar is one of the largest music publishers of its genre in the world. A line-up of world class musicians have worked with the label including Moby, Underworld, Chicane, the legendary DJ Sanchez and José Padilla.
"Introducing such an illustrious global name as Café Del Mar to the beachfront zone at MontAzure underlines our commitment to the very best international standards as we continue to build Southeast Asia's most impressive oceanfront resort and residential community,"said MontAzure Executive Director Setthaphol Boottho. "With partners such as Café Del Mar, Twinpalms, Proud Real Estate and InterContinental Hotel Group, we are quickly positioning the North Kamala beachfront as Phuket's high-end hospitality hotspot."
