With year-round sailing, today it is a leisure and lifestyle hub on par with the best in the world. With our newly launched La Reserve Residences, combined with our Royal Villas, and Aquaminium, the world’s first Waterfront condominium with uniquely distinguished private moorings for boats, I am sure Phuket will not only be restricted to be a tourist attraction but also become the favorite holiday destination for the discerning luxury seekers.”
