Issue 10 | Feature brought to you by Calypso Condominium Phuket
Phuket’s newest hotspot for buyers.
Often overlooked, the southern part of the island of Phuket is enjoying a renaissance, no doubt down to rising prices in the north, west and centre of the island.
Another reason why increasing numbers of property seekers are turning their attentions to the south is for a more relaxing, more peaceful way of living. Of course there’s something for everyone on the island and if partying is your thing then Patong is the place to be, but for clean and green living the south – around the world-renowned Nai Harn Beach and the equally tranquil Rawai village, offers a very peaceful alternative.
Based between both is Calypso Condominium Phuket – a seven-storey, 46-unit condominium development that is already 70 percent completed and is set to be finished in February 2016.
Location is everything, and running, cycling and even yoga can all be enjoyed within a short walk from Calypso. Small shops are also close by and a short drive will bring you to larger supermarkets.
The area around Nai Harn, and the south of the island in general, is likely to become increasingly popular for property buyers and investors, many of whom are being switched off by the hustle and bustle of many beach resorts and are seeking the ‘real’ Phuket for either their life, retirement or investment property.
Buyers at Calyspo condominium to date have been a mix of end-users and investors, the latter of whom will be taking advantage of rental guarantee that will offer them 7 percent returns for three years – after which a management company will be in place to ensure their investment runs smoothly.
But for buyers who intend to live at Calypso, they will be able to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing life surrounded only by small resorts, traditional Thai dwellings – and not much more.
The apartments themselves will have amazing views over the swimming pool, sundeck and gardens, Nai Harn Lake or Chalong Bay.
The range of units available consists of one-bedrooms, one-bedroom with pool access, two-bedroom, two-bedroom with pool access and two-bedroom penthouse apartments. Sizes range from 33 sqm up to 78 sqm, and all apartments include Western-style kitchens, dining and living areas, balconies, and are finished in modern, light, natural timber tones and wooden flooring throughout. Prices starting from THB 2.3 million, which for Phuket is incredible value.
Features at Calypso condominium will include undercover parking, elevator access, a large resort-style pool area with sundeck, 24-hour security, as well as yearly membership to Nai Harn Gym, a daily shuttle bus to Nai Harn Beach.
Nai Harn Beach is one of the top tourist destinations in Phuket. It provides an idyllic, tropical atmosphere with excellent infrastructure that will deliver nearby property owners and investors an exclusive and unmatched lifestyle and holiday opportunity without sacrificing on quality, style or location.
Nai Harn Beach, which some people say is Phuket 30-years ago, is within walking distance to Calypso Condominium, thelake, restaurants and shops, as well as being just a few minutes-drive to other beaches, viewpoints, and places of interests. The whole area is perfect for relaxing, or for sports like jogging, biking or swimming.
The small but cosy luxury development offers all the services for comfortable living or rentals, and the developers also offer a guaranteed rental programme as mentioned earlier.
Some Phuket property buyers are understandably wary of the track-record of developers on the island, but one look into the history of this company will reassure any doubts they may have.
In today’s market that track-record counts for so much.
