FOO for Thought in Thailand

Feeling Of Opulence (FOO), is exactly what you get with Istana Phuket, a stunning development of nineteen estates set on a 24 acre site overlooking pristine Naithon Beach on the North-west corner of Phuket Island, Thailand. With unbeatable views across the Andaman Sea each plot ranges between 1,600 and 3,200 square metres and is designed to blend seamlessly with the rain forest environment, offering a sense of total tranquillity.

When it comes to the interior design there is also no expense spared and innovations include:

• Italian Poliform kitchens and wardrobes
• Lutron Hone Information Systems to give owners total control of the interior environment and allow them to summon staff from anywhere in the villa.
• Huge back kitchen areas that can cater for social parties with up to a hundred guests
• Sixteen-seat dinner tables and home cinemas
• Home gymnasiums
• Finely wrought stone and timber floors, Italian cabinetry and joinery,
• Exquisite art works and the best of contemporary furniture
• Southern Italian Travertine marble finishing
• Separate au pair and staff quarters
• Walk-in wine cellars in some of the villas

And if that’s not enough, each Istana villa also has a bespoke cocktail station and bar, catering for up to 150 guests, complete with hand-crafted bar equipment and a unique signature cocktail list.

The Istana Phuket estates have been designed by the world renowned Gary Fell, of GFAB Architects, who was also responsible for the iconic Samujana in Koh Samui and the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in Siam Reap, Cambodia as well as numerous private villas on Bali.

The villas are for sale starting at just over £2 million or €2.3 Million.
