Once upon a time, Phuket was a place travellers would visit every few years. Getting there wasn’t easy and the island could be a difficult place to navigate once you arrived. The times have changed, however. Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines joined the growing list of outfits offering direct flights to Phuket and Phuket International Airport is currently undergoing an expansion that will increase its capacity even further. Additionally, the Thai government is investing heavily to improve infrastructure throughout the country with a budget set aside for the island.
Moving on to housing, prices are significantly down from their peak a few years ago with some experts believing the market has officially bottomed out. This means prices for upscale holiday homes are actually quite reasonable. Frequent flights, cheap luxury houses and one of the most idyllic destinations in the world, Phuket ticks all the boxes when choosing your next holiday home. Here are some of the most luxurious properties:
1) The View – Kata Beach
Starting price: THB 13.6 million
Standout feature: The view (obviously)
We won’t carry on about the views, they speak for themselves. Instead, let’s focus on the stylish condominium units. They have been designed to provide an unmatched level of freedom and luxury not found elsewhere on Phuket. The smallest units are two-bedrooms and boast 116 square metres while the three-bedroom units have an impressive 220 square metres available. The materials used throughout The View ensure the practicality and durability of the construction without compromising the aesthetic or function of the units. Living here has plenty of other perks. From the free courtesy shuttle bus that stops at the local beach to the gorgeous swimming pools, you won’t be disappointed at The View.
