There are also two comfortable hotels, offering one hundred and fifteen well-appointed rooms and suites for visitors, athletes, teams and corporate groups. The club has rapidly gained appreciation through prestiguous relationships with international sporting organizations including Brazilian Soccer Schools (BSS), NZRugbyResources (NZRR), and IronKids Triathlon.    Announcement of tennis and swimming partnerships are anticipated soon.

The PIASLC  is committed to being the leading sports and corporate event center in Asia.   Not only offering Asia’s greatest facilities for sports but also outstanding facilities and accommodations for conferences, incentives, retreats and teambuilding. 

PIASLC announced “Being in Phuket is a big advantage. It is not only an exotic location but the most exciting component of what we are doing is that every element of the club has been planned down to the finest detail from using cutting edge materials and equipment to employing the most qualified staff to manage and coach at the club.”

NZRugbyResources Director, David Adamson, said the PIASLC facilities were “second to none” and perfect for conducting elite and amateur training camps and competitions.

The PIASLC has also announced an association with the US-based IronKids programme. This  association will focus on bringing four junior Triathlon events every year as well as training camps for kids aged between 6 and 15.

There is no question that to become  an outstanding sports destination requires really good facilities and attractive location.  But it requires first-rate people too.  The Phuket International Academy Sports and Leisure Club (PIASLC) is establishing it has all these elements as it works to become a contender as Asia’s top international sports facility.
