Seminars and company events
Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort hosts conferences, incentive trips and corporate retreats of up to 250 people in theatre style, or 350 at a standing reception, with 276 rooms and suites on site. The resort lies on Klong Muang Beach in Krabi province, Thailand, between the sea and Naga Mountain.
The Phokeethra Grand Ballroom is the core of the meeting offer, backed by two smaller meeting rooms for breakouts and by lawns and gardens for evening events. The resort sells meeting packages and dedicated corporate retreat programs, so a group can book rooms, meeting space and meals in one contract. Between sessions, participants can use the 9-hole golf course, the spa and the beach, which is about a minute's walk from the resort.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a regular part of the resort's business. Ceremonies take place on the beach, in the Spa Garden or in the open-air Maya Garden, each planned for about 30 guests under the standard packages and expandable for larger parties. The Wing A Lawn takes more than 150 guests, and the Grand Ballroom seats 200 at a banquet or 350 for a cocktail reception. The resort also runs festive programs at Christmas and on New Year's Eve.
Rooms and capacities
The pillarless Grand Ballroom measures 365 square meters, 26.6 by 13 meters, under a 7.5-meter ceiling. It seats 250 in theatre style and 200 at a banquet, and takes 350 standing. Without pillars, sight lines to the stage and screen stay clear from every seat.
Phokeethra Meeting Room 1 covers 80 square meters with the same 7.5-meter ceiling. It takes 60 in theatre, 40 in classroom, 20 in a U-shape, 26 around a boardroom table, 50 at a banquet or 70 standing. Meeting Room 2, at 40 square meters, holds 30 in theatre, 20 in classroom, 10 in a U-shape, 16 in boardroom, 20 at a banquet or 30 standing. Together these rooms cover a plenary with two breakout sessions.
Accommodation
All 276 rooms and suites have a balcony or terrace, so a large incentive group can stay together on one site. The 9-hole, par-28 golf course climbs from the beachside past lakes and streams, and a spa completes the leisure offer for free afternoons.
Catering
Three restaurants cover Thai, Italian and international cooking. Dining venues include Maya, White Lotus, Ristorante Venezia, the Koh Poda Pool Bar, the Explorer Bar and The Glass House. Banquet menus for meetings and weddings are prepared by the resort's own kitchens.
History and setting
The resort occupies a long stretch of Klong Muang Beach on the Andaman Sea coast, with Naga Mountain behind it and the islands off Krabi on the horizon. The setting suits groups that want sessions in the morning and time on the water or the course in the afternoon.
Getting there
Krabi International Airport is about 40 minutes by car. The resort's address is 200 Moo 3, Tambon Nongtalay, Amphur Muang, Krabi 81180. Transfers for groups can be arranged with the resort.
