Dusit International, one of Thailand’s foremost hotel and property development companies, has signed a management agreement with Anhui Wanfo Lake Jinlong Bay Tourism Development Company Limited to manage Dusit Thani Hot Springs Resort Wanfo Lake, the first internationally branded luxury resort in Wanfo Lake, an eco-tourism development zone near Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, eastern China.

A key feature of the five-star resort is its unique destination wellness centre that will include natural outdoor hot springs pools set against a tranquil and picturesque landscape. This extensive offering will be complemented by Dusit’s own Devarana Spa delivering Thai-inspired treatments in four luxuriously appointed treatment rooms.

Located in culturally rich Anhui Province, which is home to famous tourist attractions, Wanfo Lake is surrounded by hills and forests and offers magnificent scenery.
