Phuket is the largest and most popular island in Thailand, the Land of Smiles. Last year, around five million people visited this tropical holiday paradise off the southern shores of the mainland for its beaches and warm water where the tropical sun gives you a tan all year round.
South Forbes Golf City, the largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, and acclaimed Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, prides itself in its most unique Residential Cluster of internationally-themed villages where Phuket Mansions reflect the beauty of the Pearl of the Andaman Sea.
“With the overwhelming response to Phuket Mansions, we also introduce Phuket Estates with mostly prime ridge lots,” revealed Jeffrey Ng, Cathay Land president. “The lots here are bigger so that our residents can enhance their surroundings with more green space and water features much like a tropical resort.”
Accommodations. From a sprawling bungalow to a two-storey residence, the Phuket enclaves offer an elegant choice of homes for every family, yet all alike in providing a safe, comfortable place to retreat, refresh and restore.
The traditional Taksin unit welcomes new or young families whose desire is to build a home in a relaxed environment. While parents unwind in their master suite after a long day at work, their children are reviewing their lessons in the study or chilling at the den. On warm evenings, couples can even take a dip in the pool beside their beautiful, tranquil, tropical garden before retiring for the night.
The contemporary Chakri mansion is the biggest house to accommodate the needs of a more matured family, especially those with teenagers. Chakri, which is known as the royal house of Thailand, has more space for each family member to grow and move in — in tune to the demands of the modern world.
Faithful to the true Thai tropical resort setting, the Ayutthaya bungalow becomes the perfect place to spend lazy afternoons and serene nights with a pavilion-type layout surrounded by reflecting pools and lush flora. Retirees will surely spend their twilight years here in the lap of luxury.
Attractions. Accessible to all is the majestic clubhouse that towers high alongside rows of tall anahaw trees and a base of colorful bougainvillea. Its roof is its most prominent element as it has always been the defining feature of classical Thai architecture. The clubhouse is designed to accommodate functions in different environments — indoor, covered al fresco, and outdoor — and the function halls are enclosed in glass, creating a seamless blend between interior and exterior.
