The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui hotel will be built in Thailand, while the Ritz-Carlton Reserve will be constructed in Niseko Village at the base of Mount Niseko-Annupuri, Japan.

During the summer, it will offer a wide range of outdoor activities such as trekking, horse riding and golf.
The Ritz-Carlton president and chief operating officer Herve Humler said: "Ritz-Carlton Reserves feature signature, one-of-a-kind boutique resorts positioned in unique settings, each with a distinctive personality and sense of place reflecting its history and culture.
The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui hotel will feature 187 luxurious rooms and pool villas, and a collection of dining, wellness and recreational hubs.
