BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 May 2026 – ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading hospitality management company in Asia-Pacific, has unveiled its growth strategy as it celebrates its 60th anniversary. With a portfolio spanning hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, luxury residences, as well as dining and spa offerings, the Group is targeting total revenue of THB 10.33 billion in 2026, representing a 14% year-on-year increase. It also plans to expand its portfolio to more than 75 properties by 2030, underscoring its sustained growth momentum and strengthening its position across the Asia Pacific region. This expansion will be supported by a planned investment of THB 5.5 billion over the next three years, primarily focused on enhancing and upgrading existing properties.

ONYX 60th Anniversary

Over the past six decades, ONYX Hospitality Group has grown from managing a single hotel in Thailand into a regional hospitality company with a multi-brand portfolio including Amari, OZO, Shama and Oriental Residence. Each brand has a clearly defined identity and market position, enabling the Group to meet the evolving needs of modern travellers across a range of segments.

Today, ONYX manages 49 properties and remains on track to expand its portfolio to more than 75 properties across Asia Pacific through a disciplined and sustainable growth strategy.

Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, said: “Over the past six decades, ONYX Hospitality Group has built a strong foundation of expertise and experience, growing from the management of a single hotel in Thailand into a regional hospitality player with an expanding presence across Asia Pacific, continuously earning the trust and confidence of both partners and customers.

This growth has been driven by a strong Thai foundation, combined with a global outlook and a strategic focus on regional markets, which have consistently served as the key pillars underpinning the Group’s development.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we see this milestone not merely as a reflection of our past achievements, but as the beginning of our next phase of growth. Looking ahead, we remain committed to expanding our regional footprint, strengthening our brands, and creating long-term value for our partners, investors and customers, while continuing to develop the organisation in a balanced and sustainable manner. At the same time, we are dedicated to playing an active role in elevating service standards and supporting the long-term advancement of Thailand’s hospitality industry.”

Accelerating Expansion to Support Long-term Growth

ONYX Hospitality Group continues to expand its presence across Asia Pacific under its vision of becoming ‘The Best Medium-sized Hospitality Management Company in Asia Pacific’.

In 2026, the Group is set to launch several new projects, including Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok, Shama Medini, and Y Hotel Nanshan Shenzhen Inspired by OZO, reinforcing its strategic expansion across the serviced apartment and lifestyle hospitality segments in key regional gateway cities.

At the same time, the Group continues to advance a strong future development pipeline, including Shama Rayong, EQ Phuket, Shama Hub Ladprao Bangkok, Shama North Pattaya, and the luxury development Amari Resort & Villas, Samui, alongside a major transformation of Amari Phuket aimed at revitalising the property and elevating the guest experience.

By 2030, ONYX aims to expand its portfolio from 49 properties to more than 75, with a focus on quality growth through long-term partnerships and a tailored approach to hospitality that reflects the needs of each market.

In addition to regional expansion, ONYX Hospitality Group is driving growth through effective asset management and investment strategies, with ONYX RT serving as another key growth engine. Supported by lower interest rates, recovering investor confidence, and the return of more than 35 million international travellers, the Group expects its core assets — including Amari Bangkok, OZO Samui, and OZO Phuket— to further enhance portfolio value, with a targeted valuation of more than THB 4 billion.

Strengthening Brand Positioning Across the Portfolio

As part of its 60th anniversary, ONYX Hospitality Group is advancing its overall brand development through its long-term strategic framework, “ONYX Universe”, which has been designed to support future growth across all dimensions of the business. The framework covers talent development, technology, sustainability, brand strength, marketing and revenue efficiency, customer engagement, food and beverage, and asset management to drive long-term returns. It will serve as a key foundation for enhancing the Group’s regional competitiveness while responding to the evolving needs of travellers and residents.

ONYX has also refined the positioning of its four core brands to strengthen differentiation and align more clearly with current market demand:

  • Amari has been repositioned in the upper-upscale segment, offering Thai hospitality enriched by local insight and the distinctive character of each destination.
  • OZO has evolved into an upper-midscale lifestyle hotel brand with enhanced service, designed for modern travellers who expect a seamless stay with the right essentials and a touch of elevated comfort.
  • Shama continues to focus on serviced apartment living, fostering vibrant communities while delivering Joy of Living through thoughtfully designed experiences that combine comfort, quality, and meaningful lifestyle for both short- and long-term stays.
  • Oriental Residence has been elevated to a more refined expression of luxury, where elegance is understated, privacy is paramount, and every detail is thoughtfully personalised.

This brand evolution reflects ONYX Hospitality Group’s commitment to creating clearer differentiation in support of long-term business growth.

Driving Sustainable Growth Through Regional Expansion and Brand Strength

Built on a 60-year legacy, ONYX Hospitality Group remains committed to growth through regional expansion, brand enhancement and continued organisational development. Anchored in its Thai roots and global outlook, the Group continues to place regional growth at the heart of its strategy as it works towards becoming the best medium-sized hospitality management company in Asia- Pacific, while delivering sustainable value to all stakeholders.

CapBridge Pte Ltd has teamed up with Sun Life Singapore to distribute SunBrilliance insurance solutions to high-net-worth individuals and family offices, strengthening its push beyond private-market investments into wealth protection and succession planning.

The collaboration gives CapBridge clients access to Sun Life Singapore’s SunBrilliance Indexed Universal Life II, a permanent life insurance product designed for families seeking cross-border wealth transfer, estate liquidity and long-term legacy planning. The product is targeted at global high-net-worth clients who want life cover alongside cash-value growth linked to market performance, while retaining protection against negative index returns.

CapBridge, a Singapore-headquartered digital investment platform and member of FOMO Group, has been expanding its wealth offering for mass affluent investors, HNWIs and institutional clients. Its platform provides access to private and public market opportunities, including funds, digital asset funds, stocks, bonds and equities, while also arranging life insurance products through licensed partners. The company is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and holds a capital markets services licence for dealing in capital market products and providing custodian services.

Sun Life Singapore, formally Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Singapore Branch, is part of Sun Life Financial Inc., the Canada-based financial services group listed on the Toronto, New York and Philippine stock exchanges under the ticker symbol SLF. The Singapore branch focuses on wealth preservation, growth and transfer solutions for affluent and high-net-worth clients, positioning the city-state as a core hub for its Asian insurance and legacy planning business.

SunBrilliance Indexed Universal Life II is denominated in US dollars and offers whole-life coverage with a minimum sum assured of US$500,000. The product allows policyholders to allocate premiums to indexed and fixed accounts, with indexed returns linked to the S&P 500. It includes lifetime protection, flexible premium and death benefit arrangements, and downside protection through a guaranteed floor. The plan is positioned for clients seeking a balance between market participation and capital preservation in succession structures.

The tie-up comes as Singapore’s wealth management sector continues to attract family offices and internationally mobile capital. Single-family offices in Singapore rose to about 2,000 in 2024 from 1,650 a year earlier, reflecting the city-state’s appeal as a base for governance, investment structuring and succession planning. Wealth managers and insurers have been competing to serve families from Greater China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East, many of whom are looking for multi-jurisdictional solutions that combine investment access, insurance, tax planning and estate continuity.

Demand for indexed universal life products has grown as wealthy families seek instruments that can provide insurance protection while allowing some participation in equity-market upside. Such products are often used to address estate tax liquidity, business succession, charitable planning and intergenerational asset transfer. They can also help families ring-fence assets for beneficiaries while maintaining flexibility in premium schedules and policy structures.

For CapBridge, the collaboration adds another layer to a platform that has already moved beyond private-market access into broader portfolio and wealth planning services. The company’s earlier partnerships in insurance and investment access show an effort to build a more integrated proposition for accredited and high-net-worth clients who prefer consolidated digital execution rather than dealing separately with brokers, banks, custodians and insurers.

For Sun Life Singapore, the arrangement widens distribution for its high-net-worth insurance suite through a digital platform serving investors already active in alternative assets and private markets. That client base is increasingly relevant for life insurers as family offices allocate more capital across private equity, private credit, structured products and global equities, while also requiring protection products to manage wealth transfer risk.

The collaboration also reflects a broader industry shift in Asia, where life insurers are moving closer to private banks, external asset managers and digital investment platforms. Insurance products are no longer being marketed only as protection tools; they are being embedded into wealth architecture, particularly for families with assets, heirs and business interests spread across several jurisdictions.

BDC intends to further deploy HVO-powered energy solutions across its data centres in Asia Pacific and beyond

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 May 2026 – Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data centre provider, and EcoCeres, a global leader in the innovation and commercialisation of renewable fuels and green molecules, have successfully completed their inaugural Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO)-powered backup fuel pilot in Asia Pacific at BDC’s data centre campuses. HVO is a next-generation renewable fuel derived from 100% waste-based feedstock and serves as a high-quality drop-in substitute for conventional fossil diesel. It requires no modifications to existing backup generators and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 per cent.

The pilot covered the full range of emergency backup power scenarios, including generator startup, load transfer and sustained operations under data centre conditions, with all performance and emissions targets met. In addition, BDC has completed large-scale HVO testing across multiple locations. Building on the success of the pilot, BDC intends to further deploy HVO-powered solutions across its data centre campus in Asia Pacific and beyond.

Eric Fan, CEO of Bridge Data Centres, said: “Sustainability is core to BDC’s strategy. As AI workloads continue to scale across the region, we are committed to advancing innovative clean energy solutions that reduce our carbon footprint while meeting the performance and reliability requirements of our hyperscale customers. The success of our inaugural pilot in Asia Pacific demonstrates that HVO-powered backup fuel is a feasible and replicable concept for other high-growth data centre markets.”

Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres, said: “Decarbonising data centres is one of the most urgent and technically demanding challenges in the net zero transition, and we are proud to partner with Bridge Data Centres to demonstrate that HVO is ready to perform at scale in real-world operations. By proving that waste based renewable fuels can meet stringent reliability and performance requirements in existing diesel backup systems, this pilot offers a practical way for operators to significantly reduce emissions while maintaining the highest standards of reliability.”

The milestone comes after BDC and EcoCeres signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly pilot and promote HVO adoption in data centre operations.

BDC and EcoCeres will collaborate further to develop common standards and practical guidelines to support broader HVO adoption across the data centre industry.

The partnership is part of BDC’s wider push to advance clean energy solutions for data centres, which includes developing Singapore’s first floating hydrogen power generation solution tailored for next-generation AI data centres.
