The pearl of the Andaman Phuket

Know as the "Pearl of the Andaman" and situated in the Andaman Sea off Thailand's south west coast, Phuket's terrain is incredibly varied and features a coastline boasting both rocky beaches and, most famously, long beaches with pristine white sand. Inland, visitors will find hills covered in lush tropical vegetation, paddies and plantations.

The island is Thailand's major tourist attraction. Phuket offers the perfect island lifestyle with all the comfort and conveniences of modern living, excellent golf, sailing and diving in the region, a plethora of sublime day spas, shops and entertainment venues are all wrapped in Phuket's exotic island ambience.

Phuket was recently identified by Fortune Magazine as one of the top retirement destinations in the world for a variety of reasons including the cost of living (1/3 of major European cities), climate, international standard facilities, security, the friendly environment and proximity to affluent regional cities.

Phuket presents today a unique balance of political and economic security, accessibility, low-cost modern convenience and laid back island charm, which appeals to lifestyle and financial investors around the globe.

Situated on the south east coast of Phuket, Rawai is a picturesque area of the island cherished by homeowners and investors alike for its panoramic vistas of outlying islands, its close proximity to the island's hub of Phuket town, and its quiet, tranquil beaches.

About a 45 minutes drive from Phuket International Airport and only 10 minutes from Phuket town, Rawai is a convenient departure point for island excursions to the nearby Bon, Coral, and Lon islands as well as further trips to the magnificent twin islands of Phi Phi.

The southern part of the island is also renowned for its numerous splendid beaches, including Kata, Kata Noi, Karon, Nai Han and Yanui.

A small fishing village in days gone by, today Rawai is becoming more known for it's upmarket and upscale developments which have attracted investors from all over the world. The 5-star Evason Phuket Resort in Rawai is soon to be joined by the luxurious Four Seasons Resort, confirming Rawai a much sought-after holiday destination.

In order to cater to the influx of these luxury developments, Rawai has witnessed a complementary growth in dining, entertainment and recreational services and facilities, thus making it an ideal area of Phuket Island to call "home".

The view from the project is dramatically complemented by the many visible islands in and beyond Chalong Bay, including that of the Phi-Phi Islands, some 40kms away.

Chalong Bay, sheltered from the monsoons, is the main pleasure and leisure boating centre of Phuket, with its long public pier. Boat trips are available from the bay to the nearby and distant islands, as well as Krabi and Phang Nga Bay, with their many dramatic islands, coral beaches and limestone cliffs.

The main road connecting Rawai and Chalong, and the airport, runs along the rear of the project. Many restaurants and seafood bars, boutiques, delicatessens, bakeries, banks and other facilities are just a few minutes driven away.
