Phuket is known for an attractive cost of living coupled with an excellent infrastructure. From well-equipped marinas and yachting facilities to world-class golf courses, from excellent health care to renowned international schools, Phuket is known to possess it all. Add into the mix the pleasant climate and a thriving expat community, and Phuket is deservedly known as the place to be for those in search of their tropical idyll.
Providing perfect scenes of equatorial beauty, the island of Phuket is blessed with mountains, jungles, coral reefs and sprawling beaches, all set against the endless turquoise sea. Phuket is surrounded by over 30 smaller islands, many of them prime attractions in their own right.
Long celebrated for being one of the best lifestyle destinations in the world, Phuket has a growing expatriate population of both fulltime and part-time residents.
One of the biggest draws for many of the expats is the comfortable, convenient lifestyle, which offers the perfect combination of traditional and rustic, cosmopolitan and sophisticated. The island is teeming with fine dining, delicious seaside restaurants, world-class resorts, grocery stores with imported goods, modern shopping malls, local markets, fabulous spas, wonderful recreational facilities, plus first-class IT and telecommunication infrastructure. Life here is relaxed and friendly, carefree and filled with sunshine.
Sitting at 50 metres above sea level, the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea set the scene for this graciously elegant villa in a highly desirable enclave of Surin. Known as Millionaires’ Row because of its glamorous residents and visitors, as well as the million-dollar houses perched on the hills overlooking the Andaman Sea, Surin is a spectacular stretch of sandy beach on the famed West Coast, and is truly the premier address for ocean-view real estate in Phuket.
From its impressive elevated vantage point, the deluxe villa commands the most stunning vistas of the Andaman Sea, the headland of Amanpuri Hotel and Bang Tao Bay. Luxuriously designed and superbly executed, the house exemplifies delicately elegant Thai architecture at its best.
