International resort operator Club Med has announced the reopening of its resort in Phuket, Thailand, following the completion of an extensive renovation of the property.

The resort is located amid 25 hectares (62 acres) of palm grove on Kata Bay beach and has received a comprehensive redesign led by France-based Marc Hertrich and Nicolas Adnet.

Club Med Phuket has been transformed under the Magic of Lights theme, which is derived from Thailand's annual Yi Peng festival where candlelit lanterns float into the sky.

Improvements included the complete revamp of the Club Med Spa by Payot, which features six individual treatment rooms and six double treatment rooms, as well as a Turkish bath.

Work has also included a transformation of the resort's restaurant and bar areas, as well as the creation of a new Zen infinity pool for adults only to the far east of the property.

A Club Med spokesperson said: "Each of Club Med's extraordinary resorts reflects the unique culture found in its location, with Phuket providing guests a truly unique Thai experience."
