Accor has announced the opening of Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas and Resort. The resort’s Phase-1 is open now with the larger Phase-2 scheduled to open in 2023.
Location
Located on the Kingdom’s eastern seaboard, Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas & Resort is located nearby to notable local attractions, including the vibrant seafood market on Haad Suan Son Beach, the Ban Phe Fresh Market, the historic Yomjinda Road, and the Old Town of Rayong. Beautiful waterfalls and nature trails are easily accessible at Khao Chamao – Khao Wong National Park, as well as the eco-tourism attraction of Tung Prong Thong Golden Mangrove Field. The Mun Islands can also be visited from Rayong, for those seeking a one-day trip to explore pristine islands and marine life.
Design
An emerging destination for local surfers, Rayong is an easy-going resort town located just a few hours’ drives from Bangkok. Nestled on the beachfront of the spectacular Laem Mae Phim Cape, the trendy 184-room pet-friendly resort is perfect for an inspiring seaside escape. The ocean inspired architecture of the resort integrates colorful Thai flowers within its design adding a bold and dynamic personality to the resort.
A grand launch of the resort will take place upon the completion of the resort’s garden wing next year, which will include an additional 133 rooms, suites and villas, four restaurants and bars, along with expansive meeting, conferencing and events facilities. The ocean wing is now open, with the garden wing and the broader resort complex slated for completion in 2023.
We are very pleased to expand our network in Thailand with the launch of our 10th Mercure hotel in the country. With the brand’s trusted global reputation and refreshed identity, I am confident that Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas & Resort will drive greater tourism to the province. Each Mercure hotel is characterized by the individuality of the destination that it resides – I know that guests will love experiencing a portal into Rayong’s unique coastal offerings with the exciting array of local experiences on offer here.
said Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer – Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, Accor.
Accommodations
Clustered between verdant gardens with vibrant sea views, the ocean wing consists of 51 warm and cozy guest rooms across three different configurations. All rooms are beautifully decorated with ocean-inspired light wood décor. The 33 Executive Rooms offer a comfortable outdoor seating area with lush courtyard views. The 8 spacious Suites feature panoramic views of the ocean, while the 10 contemporary Villas offer easy access to the swimming pool and beach. Additional room configurations will be offered upon the launch of the Garden Wing.

Dining
The all-day dining restaurant, ECUME, takes diners through a locally sourced and organic culinary journey. The Executive Chef works closely with Rayong fishermen and suppliers to showcase the local flavors. Local specialties and international favourites can be enjoyed indoors or al fresco. SAL Pool Bar is an ideal spot to enjoy refreshing signature beverages and comfort food, whilst enjoying the ocean breeze and appreciating panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand. Four other dining options will be available early next year when the Garden Wing debuts.
We are excited to launch Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas and Resort as the newest and trendiest destination in Rayong. The resort is rooted in local traditions and culture, with Thai inspired interiors and menu offerings sourced locally. Together with the local community, we pride ourselves on taking sustainability seriously by working with nearby producers and minimizing our impact on the environment. I know that Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas & Resort will become a great hub within the province, delivering an authentic and high quality experience.
