Villa Santi – a residential resort complex with rental returns in mind

Villa Santi is targeting those discerning visitors who want the convenience of a hotel and the privacy of a villa or apartment.

Villa Santi is located around 2 kms north of Patong Beach in Phuket. The project land area covers 28,000 m2 (seven acres) and features sloping hills facing Patong Bay and the ocean beyond.

The development comprises 20 spa villas, 19 apartment suites, 11 Gaya studios and 6 superior residences, all enjoying sea views. It is aiming to deliver the facilities of a 5-star hotel which include a 25 meter free form swimming pool, reception, pool bar, fitness centre, squash and tennis courts, covered car park, day care kids club, kids pool and yacht charter. At the heart of the resort is the Gaya Restaurant. The landscaping is dominated by a spectacular waterfall with two natural pools.

Spa Villas
The lavish floor plan features three connected pavilions in a very private courtyard setting, with an outdoor garden and infinity plunge pool facing the ocean. The centrally positioned living area, which can be either air-conditioned or fan-controlled, is flanked on both sides by two generous sized bedrooms.

Apartments
Apartments come in 3 styles: 2 bed (178 m2); 3 bed (206 or 215 m2); and 4 bed (411 or 424 m2).

The Gaya Studios
The Gaya studios are located immediately behind Gaya restaurant. All units have an ocean view. These are very modern one-bedroom apartments with 89 m2 covered floor space, outdoor jacuzzi's and various options for additional water features and swimming pools.

Residences
These are the ultimate homes on the project, and feature 570 m2 of inside and outdoor living space on two levels. The design includes spacious living areas, separate dining room and kitchen, two master bedrooms, two guest bedrooms, a family terrace, a maid and laundry room, a 36 m2 infinity-edge swimming pool on a large deck and a private garage.

The spa villas, residences and Gaya studios are being sold with a 30-year leasehold on the land which is renewable twice thus totaling 90 years of leasehold ownership. The land is owned by the developing company.

The Apartment suites are being sold with condominium title and thus can be owned freehold, either direct in a foreigner’s name or through a Thai Company. I understand there is a special law in Thailand which allows foreigners to own condominium units under a freehold (or lifelong) ownership. This freehold applies to the land as well.

The European developers behind Villa Santi have a long association with Phuket and the hospitality industry: I have every faith this resort complex will be managed professionally.
