The Village is a one of a kind island resort development; accessible yet remote; playful yet private; tranquil yet secure; a concept as yet un-experienced in or around Phuket
The location
Coconut Island rests peacefully in the sheltered waters of Phang-Nga Bay, just 500m off Phuket’s east coast, a mere five minute journey by speed boat. To date, the island has been spared from any significant development and remains a quaint, sleepy little Thai island, blessed with thick jungle interiors and sandy shores.
The surrounding seascape is one of the most photographed in the world. Phang-Nga Bay is famous for the dramatic limestone karsts and islets that loom out of the emerald waters. The warm, sheltered bay, bids smooth sailing, swimming and snorkelling all year round, and allows easy access to marine parks further a-field such as around the Tarutao islands or the Similans.
Despite Coconut Island’s secluded location, should residents desire to hop over to Phuket for dinner, golf or shopping; the estate runs a regular 24hr water taxi service from The Village pier to Laem Hin on Phuket. Trips to the supermarkets are a maximum of 15 minutes, golf courses range from 10 to 30 minutes, and the island’s hub, Phuket City, is only 15 minutes by ferry and taxi.
Island lifestyle
By purchasing a villa at The Village, you are investing into ‘the ultimate waterfront island lifestyle’ and this philosophy is evident from the pool villa designs right through to the site amenities.
Sportsmen can make use of the gym or tennis courts or any of the fleet of watercraft provided free of charge. In addition the Village Spa will offer a range of relaxing holistic treatments and the 500m stretch of beach naturally adds to the island lifestyle.
Convenience is an important factor of island living and so the Village Centre has boutiques, restaurants, convenience stores and more to provide for residents’ needs. The estate also has a 24-hour private water taxi service running between the island and Phuket. The 2-minute journey links The Village residents to Phuket’s full portfolio of international grade amenities.
Maphrao Island sits in one of the most beautiful seascapes in the world and with the boat storage facility at The Village, owners are able to enjoy this unique feature of the island location with unrivalled practicality. The wonders of Phang-Nga Bay, with its emerald waters, dramatic limestone karsts and islands, offer year-round calm seas and unlimited fantastic boating experiences.
Design
At The Village, we realize that a site like this doesn’t come along too often. Whilst we are motivated to create ‘the ultimate waterfront lifestyle’, we have concurrently been very careful not to disturb the delicate ecosystem of Maphrao Island. Much care and consultation has resulted in the development of a system of canals, streams and ponds that meander around three residential islands. The villas are situated around the waterways, on the islands, on hillside area of the site, or with direct beach-frontage, thus ensuring that the vast majority of villas enjoy captivating views.
With 75-rai of pristine land, The Village is not bound by the limitations of many Phuket developments. Land plots range in size from 300 – 1600sq.m and meticulous effort has gone into maximizing unit density whilst maintaining the exclusive virtues of each. Nominated architects for the project East West, have focused on maximizing the size of the villa living areas, and have not forgotten that the intoxication of exotic island living usually warrants more spacious master suites. The villas, all built to the highest quality, feature the gentle curves of Thai architecture with unique roof designs that resemble the traditional Thai Longtail boat and encapsulate the waterfront ethos with which The Village has been developed.
The ultimate waterfront lifestyle concept translates into an array of amenities and facilities to meet owners’ island needs. The site is fully equipped with restaurants, shops, tennis courts, a spa, a fitness centre, and sailing and water sports facilities, which generate a country club feeling that both active and leisure-minded residents will appreciate. The estate also has its own landing pier and shore side boat storage facility to further assist owners live this enviable lifestyle.
