Chuti Group expands tourism footprint with projects in Cox's Bazar, Kuakata, Gazipur

Dhaka : Chuti Group, a homegrown hospitality and tourism company, is expanding its footprint across Bangladesh with a series of resort and hotel projects aimed at developing eco-tourism, coastal tourism and nature-based hospitality.

The group, which began its journey with Chuti Resort Gazipur in 2012, now has projects at Cox's Bazar, Kuakata and Gazipur, including a proposed seven-star-standard hotel and several luxury villa developments.

Md Mizanur Rahman, Co-founder and Managing Director of Chuti Cox's Bazar Ltd, said the group's expansion is driven by a long-term ambition to develop Bangladesh's tourism potential through environmentally conscious and internationally competitive hospitality projects.

From Gazipur to coast

Chuti Group's journey began on December 12, 2012, when FNF Resort, popularly known as Chuti Resort Gazipur, opened in Sukundi village surrounded by the forests of Gazipur.

The founders envisioned an eco-tourism model that would make leisure travel more accessible while incorporating environmental considerations into hospitality development.

Over the following years, Chuti developed a reputation as a destination for leisure and nature-based tourism. The company is now seeking to replicate and expand that model in major tourism destinations across the country.

Its move into Cox's Bazar began with Chuti Resort Cox's Bazar and Chuti Tropical Villa, which started in 2022 along Marine Drive Road near Jahajpura, Teknaf.

Cox's Bazar projects take shape

Construction of the five-star-standard Chuti Resort Cox's Bazar formally began in January 2026 in partnership with a Chinese construction company.

The project is being developed using modern construction technology, international-grade materials and engineering expertise. According to the group, construction is progressing with the target of making the resort fully operational by 2028.

Alongside the resort, Chuti Tropical Villa is being developed as a private vacation concept combining nature, privacy and luxury.

The approximately 10-katha development includes four independent cottages, a private swimming pool, landscaped surroundings and modern amenities. The first villa was completed and handed over to its client within 10 months, with ownership transferred through registered deed.

Another major Cox's Bazar development is Chuti Bay, launched in 2025 at Kolatoli. The project is being positioned as a seven-star-standard hotel, with architecture and facilities designed to raise the level of luxury hospitality in the country's most prominent beach destination.

Construction has progressed to the third-floor roof slab, with the group targeting completion by 2030.

New coastal project in Kuakata

Chuti is also expanding into Kuakata with Chuti Santorini at Lembur Bon Sunset Point.

The project is planned as a coastal hospitality destination featuring 15 luxury tropical villas and an international-standard high-rise hotel.

The development is designed around Kuakata's distinctive appeal as a location where visitors can experience both sunrise and sunset over the Bay of Bengal.

The group said the project is intended to combine coastal scenery with contemporary architecture, premium accommodation and nature-focused experiences.

Nokkhotrobari joins portfolio

In 2026, Chuti Group added another property to its portfolio by taking over Nokkhotrobari in Gazipur, founded by artist couple Tauquir Ahmed and Bipasha Hayat.

The property developed a reputation as a cultural and creative retreat, hosting art exhibitions, film screenings, theatre activities, art camps and other cultural programs.

Under the Chuti Nokkhotrobari Resort identity, the group plans to retain the property's cultural character and mature landscape while upgrading accommodation, dining, recreation, conference and event facilities.

The company said the development will seek to preserve the connection between nature, art and creativity that has defined the property.

Building nationwide hospitality network

Chuti Group's expanding project pipeline reflects a broader effort by local hospitality operators to capitalize on Bangladesh's growing domestic tourism market and the potential of its major leisure destinations.

From the forests of Gazipur to the beaches of Cox's Bazar and Kuakata, the group is positioning its properties around nature, local identity and increasingly sophisticated hospitality experiences.

For Chuti, the strategy represents a continuation of the vision established when its first resort opened nearly 14 years ago: developing tourism destinations that combine Bangladesh's natural and cultural assets with modern hospitality standards.
