Phuket a Millionaires Destination



According to international property consultants CB Richard Ellis Thailand, the range of properties on offer in Phuket has widened considerably to include ultra high-end properties 's8211; one villa was recently on the market at US$ 12 million. Is it to say that Phuket is only for the extremely wealthy ( http://www.cbre.co.th/CBRECONTENT/PHUKET/PHUKET.HTMPropertyTypeID=1&WT.mc_id=10011 )

The island counts some astonishing properties, and there is undeniably a demand at the very top-end of the market. The two to four bedroom villas in Trisara Phase C were snapped as soon as the project launched. Global buyers are attracted by the project's8217;s striking headland location guaranteeing absolute privacy and its management to a 6 star hotel standard by Trisara. The villas's8217; US$ 2.6 's8211; 5.3 million price tag is accepted as the price to pay for such exclusivity.

Millionaires who invest in a property on the island do so because they recognise the perfect balance Phuket strikes between western luxury and exotic resort style property. With its stunning beaches and world class amenities, the island imposes itself as the ultimate resort destination in Thailand, a country renowned for its unrivalled hospitality and the degree of sophistication of its economy and market.

According to Mr. David Simister, Chairman of CB Richard Ellis Thailand, 's8220;Phuket is the pinnacle of resort destinations in South East Asia, and is expected to enhance this image as more high-end and luxury projects are planned on the island.'s8221; The number of projects with villas priced above US$ 1 million has doubled over the last 12 months.

Privacy is one of the most important criteria of top-end buyers when choosing a property. This has triggered the development of very select projects on private islands off the coast of Phuket, such as Barama Bay. Service is also a prime concern, and most exclusive villas have year round in-house skilled staff (chefs, house keepers, drivers, beauty therapists etc.) to attend to the owners and their guests. Five gold anchor award winner Royal Phuket Marina, Asia's8217;s finest Blue Canyon Golf Club, several high-end boat charters and helicopter services are all at hand.

Phuket does cater for the wealthy 's8211; but does not forget those looking for more value for money options ( http://www.cbre.co.th/CBRECONTENT/PHUKET/PHUKET.HTMPropertyTypeID=1&WT.mc_id=10011 ). The island is available for all to enjoy, regardless of budget. Properties can be found for as little as 5 million baht, with owners enjoying the same drink, watching the same sunset.
