Captivating Chapters
Two decades of design-forward hospitality, guided by passion and independence.
A Legacy of Sophisticated, Refined Hospitality

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.

Rooted in experience, we continue to shape tomorrow with purpose and intent.

The visionaries behind Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts

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.
