12 January, 2017
PHUKET, THAILAND: THE NAI HARN, Phuket’s premier luxury resort overlooking pristine Nai Harn
Beach, will be further enhancing its reputation as one of the island’s leading wining and dining
destinations this year by welcoming some of the world’s most respected chefs and barmen to the
resort for a limited time. Visiting experts include mixologist Salim Khuory, Chef George Panagiotidis
and Chef Will Holland, and each one is bringing their skills, styles and flavours to Phuket’s only
member of Leading Hotels of the World.
Throughout the month of January, legendary barman Salim Khuory, the
renowned Head Barman at the iconic American Bar at The Savoy in
London for more than three decades, is sharing his expertise during an
annual visit to THE NAI HARN where he conducts exclusive training
sessions for the resort’s bar and service staff. Mr. Khuory will also
consult on the resort’s cocktail list and create two new signature drinks
featuring local gins – Iron Balls Gin and Kristal G.
While Mr. Khuory is whipping up creative libations behind the bar, Chef
George Panagiotidis will be bringing a taste of Greece to Thailand with
specially prepared offerings during the resort’s daily breakfast and the
newly launched weekend barbecue.

beachside restaurant, which serves up inventive dishes featuring
flavours from the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa.

“THE NAI HARN concept goes well beyond offering luxurious accommodation,” explains General
Manager, Frank Grassmann. “Our aim is to ensure that each step of every guest’s journey with us is
an experience to be remembered. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in our ever-changing
culinary offerings and emphasis on world class cuisine.”
In March, the resort will turn up the flare another notch when it welcomes
Will Holland, the celebrated British chef and founder of Coast
Saundersfoot restaurant on the shores of Pembrokeshire. With extensive
experience working in some of the U.K.’s best hotels and restaurants,
Holland already boasts an illustrious career, earning a Michelin star
before the age of 30 and appearing on several national television
programmes in his home country.
At THE NAI HARN, Chef Holland will offer diners a culinary journey “From
Coast to Coast” at Cosmo restaurant, and during his visit, a select group
of diners will have the opportunity to savour an exclusive six-course set
menu specially designed and prepared for the resort.
In addition to the special dining experience, Chef Holland will also create
a selection of signature dishes for Rock Salt during his visit, as well as a
series of mouthwatering canapés making the most of fresh, local
ingredients to be enjoyed by guests during the General Manager’s
regular cocktail hour.

“Since the resort re-opening last May, THE NAI HARN has quickly become one of Phuket’s most
sought after dining destinations and we couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2017 with even more
delectable options thanks to this strong line-up of revered culinary guests,” adds Mr. Grassmann.

recently hosted the inaugural Great Wines of Italy "Limited Edition" gala event at the resort. Following
the event Mr. Grassman introduced a consumer friendly wine pricing policy with attractive prices on a
full range of wines to encourage wine lovers to enjoy the best.

About THE NAI HARN
THE NAI HARN offers the perfect blend of romance, adventure, indulgence and a genuine sense of
heritage, perched above Thailand's best beach*, ranged along a lush hillside at the southern tip of
Phuket. Only THE NAI HARN offers dress circle seats to the greatest show on earth – the spectacle of
an Andaman sunset set against the dramatic promontory of Cape Promthep, best viewed from the
four-poster day bed on your private 40sq m terrace, or from the reborn Rooftop Deck at our bucket listworthy daily Magic Hour and Sunset Salutation Ritual. Offering guest rooms at least as capacious as
the generous terraces and suites best described as sublime, THE NAI HARN has been reborn to
maximize its exceptional vistas and elevate the luxury escape on Phuket. Minimally elegant with lavish
touches and 'ah' moments, this comprehensive reimagining of Phuket's first luxury resort infuses
contemporary style with a Southern Thai aesthetic, setting the scene for destination experiences
informed by authenticity and local knowledge, new adventures on roads less travelled, and culinary
experiences that define excellence. Phuket's only hotel with a real sense of history has hosted
luminaries from royals to heads of state to stars of stage and screen – where else but at THE NAI
HARN can you take a luxury speedboat island-hopping to James Bond Island – while staying in the
suite once occupied by Roger Moore himself? *As voted by readers of TripAdvisor, 2014.
