Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts has spent over 20 years carving out a unique niche as an independent, luxury hospitality brand in Thailand. Launched in the early 2000s, the brand swiftly became renowned for its contemporary, elegant design and highly personalised service.
Every detail speaks to a deep commitment from the founders and management team, who poured their passion and insight into creating this experience. Today, with three resorts across Phuket, all members of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Twinpalms caters to sophisticated travellers in search of a sanctuary set against the backdrop of stunning beaches, rich culture and lush surroundings.
Carl Langenskiold and Richard Ohman, both distinguished Swedish entrepreneurs, share a lifelong friendship and a passion for redefining hospitality. Together, they envisioned creating a new kind of hotel—independent, innovative, and distinctly luxurious. This shared ambition led to the establishment of Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts, a brand synonymous with elegance and anticipating guests needs.
Together, they have transformed Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts into one of Phuket’s premier luxury groups, leveraging their combined expertise in hospitality and business management to craft unforgettable experiences for their guests, while staying true to their independent spirit.
As a seasoned hotelier and a graduate of Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne in Switzerland, Olivier’s extensive career includes senior positions with renowned hotel brands such as Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons. Since the start of Twinpalms in 2004, he has played a pivotal role as General Manager, focusing on expanding the group’s hospitality offerings while ensuring exceptional guest experiences.
This ever-evolving industry demands a keen awareness of both internal operations and external market shifts, so Olivier ensures the team remains agile, continuously observing, listening, and adjusting strategies to stay ahead of industry trends.
Martin Palleros, founder of Terra Design, has significantly influenced the luxury hospitality industry with his focus on creating timeless spaces that connect architecture and nature.
His work with Twinpalms reflects a commitment to seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and the use of natural materials, embodying the belief that luxury should harmonise with the environment. Palleros’ unique design approach has established him as a key figure in the industry, ensuring that each aspect of Twinpalms aligns with the brand’s ethos and vision.
As an independent brand fuelled by passionate owners, we focus on delivering unforgettable guest experiences. Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts features three distinct and elite resorts on Phuket’s most desirable beaches.
Our diverse portfolio includes luxurious resorts, residences, yachting, beach clubs, restaurants, cafes and bars, all thoughtfully designed to reflect and enhance the elegance and beauty of Phuket.
