An imposing villa represents the pinnacle of luxurious living and the fulfilment of the tropical lifestyle dream

Over the past decade, Phuket has become increasingly popular as an investment choice for High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) looking for second homes out of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Europeans, Russians and Australians have been beating a path to the island and more recently, the discerning from Singapore and Hong Kong have been joining them.

Phuket provides the perfect lifestyle with all the comforts of modern living and the island's incomparably coastal beauty and modern international lifestyle are hard to beat. Buyers have been encouraged by the availability of low-density housing in a beautiful natural environment of white sand beaches and lush forests, all wrapped up in a package that includes excellent infrastructure, including hospitals and international schools, shopping malls and a thriving nightlife.

The outdoor life is remarkable. Phuket is a paradise for diving, snorkelling, kayaking, kite surfing and surfing, with several destinations on offer, including Khao Lak, Khao Sok, Lanta and Phi islands. Phuket is safe and private, yet well connected to the outside world through its bustling and efficient airport and excellent yachting facilities.

Frequently, visitors first arrive as tourists and, quickly seduced by the laid-back lifestyle, beauty and incomparable climate, return to purchase property. There is no greater pleasure than that of owning one’s own private seaside residence, expressly created to captivate the senses and indulge every desire.

Understated elegance, a breathtaking oceanfront location and the ultimate in sophisticated architecture combine to create this extraordinary house. Truly the finest in beachfront homes, the property boasts 60 metres of white sand frontage, where the ocean and beach become the owner’s private playground. Designed explicitly for that special buyer in search of the executive lifestyle and serene privacy, the Thai-inspired domain takes beachfront living to the height of luxury, with no expense spared and no detail overlooked.

The luxury villa delivers tropical living on a grand scale, with one of the biggest private land plots in Phuket. Sprawling over 4,800m2 in an almost impossibly beautiful setting on Natai Beach, the elegant villa estate directly fronts one of the Andaman Coast’s most peaceful and appealing stretches of powdery sand.

The singular setting offers a grand panoramic view of the sea and, just a few steps from the ocean, here is beachfront living at its finest. It is a place to celebrate family and friends while enjoying an unparallelled tropical lifestyle.

Indoor and outdoor living spaces interweave seamlessly in a grand total of 736m² of space, all perfectly scaled and detailed in elegant simplicity, with a pervasive sense of serene ease. Refined, yet unpretentiously casual, the mesmerising ocean views are on display in the vast expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows, while rooms are impressively oversized. Tastefully decorated throughout, the light and spacious villa, with its cathedral ceiling and airy layout, is the epitome of grandiose living in an idyllic and sun-soaked location.

Designed for entertaining in grand style and balanced with intimate spaces and thoughtful details, the beachfront villa estate covers every aspect of a luxurious lifestyle, with stunning open plan living, entertainment area and kitchen.

It features four separate traditional-style living and sleeping pavilions. There are six impeccable bedrooms, including owner’s suite. The impressive master suite is one of the villa’s many highlights. Housed in a separate pavilion for added privacy, the suite is connected to the pool deck, overlooking the swimming pool and the sea beyond. The master suite also comes with an attached second bedroom, ideal for those with small children, or easily used for an office.

A stunning wine cellar, a gym with spa room, a maid’s room, and a 2-car garage complete the picture to perfection.

The floor plan offers enormous liveability and is perfectly suited for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is Phuket’s hallmark. Sublime luxury and privacy characterise the superb estate that boasts gorgeously landscaped grounds, resplendent with tropical plants and water features. The outdoor area, with its striking lap pool (25 metres by 6.75 metres), dining sala and barbecue, overlooks an awe-inspiring expanse of sea and sky.

Located just north of the island, Natai Beach, within the tranquil Phang Nga province, has rapidly become the most sought-after location for large beachfront villas in Greater Phuket and is already tagged as the Hamptons of Asia. Seemingly far from the crowd, yet less than 25 minutes from Phuket International Airport, multimillion-dollar villas line the shore, rubbing shoulders with exclusive resorts and spas. Natai Beach is ideal for a luxurious beachfront getaway.

One of Phuket’s great estates, this rare oceanfront compound reveals a world of unbridled luxury and magical beauty on one of the island’s most highly prized beachside enclaves.

Price: THB175 million.
