Mamaka Phuket, the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton property on the island, is set to open its doors in Bang Tao this December. The 165-room hotel blends mid-century glamour with contemporary comforts, aiming to attract both international leisure travellers and the local creative community.
Design and Accommodation
Designed by Studio SANTHAYA, the hotel draws inspiration from the 1960s, combining the aesthetic of Palm Springs with Phuket's historic Sino-Portuguese architecture. The interiors feature a palette of botanical green, muted blue, and dusty coral pink, creating a nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere.
Guest rooms start at 41 square metres, with the Swagger Suite collection offering upgraded amenities. Each suite includes Marshall Bluetooth speakers and a cocktail station, catering to guests who appreciate a touch of retro sophistication.
Dining and Wellness
Dining options include Bruno's, a 130-seat all-day restaurant, and Rue Hamra, a rooftop venue scheduled to open later in the season. The hotel's wellness offerings include Saint Gaia spa, which features themed treatment rooms and a bath house, as well as a 24-hour gym with personal training and Muay Thai sessions.
Guests can also participate in pizza-making and mixology classes, adding an interactive element to their stay. The hotel plans to organise beach clean-ups to support local sustainability initiatives.
Leadership and Loyalty
Shivang Jhunjhnuwala, Chief Operating Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the opening: “With the Hilton name behind us, we are excited to open in December, and see how we can make a positive impact on people from all around the globe.”
Mamaka Phuket will participate in Hilton Honors, allowing members to earn and redeem points during their stay. This integration is expected to appeal to frequent travellers who value loyalty benefits.
The opening adds to Phuket's growing hospitality landscape, which has seen recent debuts such as Chatrium Phuket Rawai on the island's south coast. For travel professionals, the new property represents another option for clients seeking a distinctive, design-led experience in a popular beach destination.
