An exclusive villa where the true essence of escapism is to be discovered for endless enjoyment

The Thai island of Phuket boasts a still-pristine environment with white sandy beaches, hidden coves and astonishing coral reefs. It is as close as most people could ever imagine to living in paradise.

Yet Phuket has made incredible strides into the 21st century in its short modern history as a destination for vacationers and second home-seekers. It has managed to provide up-to-date infrastructure and a high standard of living that appeals to the upscale buyer searching for someplace that is close to nature’s finest features while offering sophisticated amenities.

Phuket real estate presents the discriminating property-seeker with world-class design at prices that are still well below their counterparts in other Asian and European locations. That is why property here remains highly appealing to international buyers.

This rapid growth has contributed to a quickening in improvements made to facilities and services available on the island. There are two international hospitals and quality health care is available at much lower cost than in the West. English-language education is available at international schools that are based on the British and American curricula.

Often, visitors grow so enchanted with what they discover here that they return as property buyers, either for investment purposes or for their personal use. Seduced by the wonderful year-round weather, legendary scenery and attractive living costs, many cannot wait to begin the search for that perfect property.

Phuket International Airport connects directly to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. It is just an hour to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, where connecting flights may be taken to the rest of the world. Buyers, therefore comforted by the ease of access these transportation links offer, are coming from all over Asia as well as Europe to share in the exceptional standard of living here.

Even in an enchanting place such as Phuket, where luxury lifestyle, world-class style and sophistication are the norm, sometimes there comes a home that is set apart from the rest.

Glorious, stunning, exquisite and magnificent. Those are some of the superlatives lavished upon a property that comes along only rarely. Featuring a timeless architecture, elegant interiors and situated in a coveted position, this luxurious ocean view villa is sure to impress. Located in an award-winning boutique resort, the privately owned villa has been designed to accommodate the most fastidious owner. Here, perfection is a fact of life.

The two kitchens bring together architecture and refined materials in an imaginative way, creating beauty and functional design.

The impressive owner’s suite indulges, with its commanding views of the Andaman Sea and Lon Island, a sumptuous private Jacuzzi and an outdoor rainforest shower on the terrace.

Showcasing premium living at its best, the home offers air conditioning, oversized contemporary bathrooms and a dressing room.

The stylish interior spaces flow seamlessly to the outdoor areas through the extensive use of glass, allowing the lovely surroundings to be embraced from inside or out.

Crowned by a spectacular sun-soaked deck, a gorgeous sala and a fabulous pool, the elite villa provides the ultimate in outdoor living, with breathtaking ocean views as its backdrop. The scenery is equally alluring by day or night, and the stunning infinity pool affords a sublime setting to enjoy the famous Phuket sunsets, the surrounding islands and aquamarine Andaman Sea.

Relaxing under the sun by the pool, or in the cool shade, is an all-day luxury choice. Entertain guests al fresco on the awe-inspiring wooden veranda as the aromas from the sizzling barbecue waft through the air and the sun sets above the warm tropical sea. Just another glorious day at the private villa in Phuket.
