A luxurious villa in Thailand’s popular beach destination, Phuket, is up for sale with a price tag of US$13.9 million. Located in the Trisara resort, the 26,000-square-foot property features seven bedrooms, 13,000 square feet of indoor space, and stunning ocean views. Designed by UK-based architect Philippa Thorp, the villa combines traditional Thai architecture with European elegance.
The owners, a retired couple from the UK, are selling their home due to Thailand’s land-ownership restrictions for non-citizens. Foreigners must lease the land their building sits on, rather than owning it outright. The couple has spent years restoring and upgrading the property, which features high-sloping roofs, intricate detailing, and beautiful gardens.
The villa offers multiple outdoor spaces, including a grand bridge, an outdoor lounge area, and two bedroom suites each with its own pool. The interior design is characterized by soft creams and blues, darkened teak wood, and bespoke pieces made from Thai art. The property boasts breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea and is just minutes from the beach.
Phuket’s villa market has seen steady growth in recent years, but a proposal to tax all residents on worldwide income could potentially impact demand for housing. However, according to Savills agent Robert Collins, he does not expect a significant impact on foreign demand based on current indicators.
