Phuket’s beautiful people were out in force last night (May 5) for the unofficial pre-pre-soft opening of two floors of the restaurant and club section of the Indochine Resort & Villas, above Kalim Beach.

Singaporean group Indochine, which runs resorts, restaurants and clubs in Singapore, Indonesia, Germany, India and Malaysia, recently bought the majority share in what had, up to then, been the occasionally troubled Villa Santi Resort.

In addition to the 24 hotel rooms owned by the resort, Indochine will be able to let out many of the privately-owned villas and condos on the hillside behind.

But last night was not about accommodation. It was about celebration, fuelled by some free booze, always guaranteed to make an opening work. In this case, two floors of the four-floor main building were opened – the Deli Café on the ground floor and Club Opiume on the floor above.

Both are works in progress – flooring and ceilings are not yet complete, giving both venues the glamour of a very chic parking garage.

Not that anyone seemed to notice, especially in Club Opiume, where minds and legs were fully occupied with the music pumping out from the decks of the two deejays, model and fist pumper Nicole Chen and American legend in his own lunchtime Steve Aoki .

Laddawan Somniyam. EAM of Sales and Marketing, says there’s plenty more excitement to come, with deejays from around the world doing guest spots every two weeks, and locally-based deejays keeping the volume high in between.

Look out, too, for the opening parties for the other two floors – the Waterfront Restaurant on the 3rd floor and the Beach Club (no beach, but a swimming pool) on the 4th. Be there or be square.

Now there is a rising number of chic places to go to. Places where you might have to think a bit further than flipflops, Singha T-shirt and shorts with 17 pockets. Places where you might actually feel out of place if you don’t dress up a bit.

Names in Patong that come to mind include Club Lime, Climax, BYD Lofts or White Box. Now there’s another to put on your list and in the back of your mind: Beat Club at the new 123-room B-Lay Tong Resort, at the north end of Patong Beach. It’s  just opposite the Novotel, close to the junction of the beach road and Phra Barami Rd.

Beat Club is ready – it’s just not operating full-on yet. It can, however, be booked for private parties, taking advantage of the high-tech sound system and neon-lit bar; call K. Tik at +66 (0) 76 344 999.

The resort opened quietly in March, and will have its official opening in the next few months – it’s not yet certain just when, but before the next “high” season. In the meantime everything is ready – two restaurants serving Mediterranean and Thai food, an oyster and sushi bar, the lobby bar and the pool bar, along with a library and fitness room. In-room facilities include audio system, LCD TV with satellite reception, and WiFi or LAN connection for Internet. Free.

Following the trend away from Thai temple-style roofs and a great deal of ornate woodwork, the exterior design of B-Lay Tong is starkly rectangular, with dark grey dressed concrete surfaces. Indoors, things are slick, chic minimalist with dark shades contrasting with splashes of bright colour. In the rooms, the opposite prevails, with bright white being dominant.

The resort is owned by B-Resort Group of Bangkok, and is managed by the InVision Group, headed by former Marriott exec Kevin Beauvais, whose portfolio now includes such chic inns as Zeavola in Phuket along with Villa Maroc on Pranburi Beach, and Glow and Swiss Park in Bangkok. The GM of B-Lay Tong will be Daniel Meury, formerly boss of The Chedi in Phuket.
