High season in Thailand may be in full swing with space on its beaches at a subsequent premium, but owners of the new Serenity Terraces apartments won’t mind at all. That is because they will have the use a very private 200 metre beach which is right at their door step.  At Serenity Terraces your front garden really is the sea, with dramatic views of islands stretching far off into the horizon.

The view from these ultra modern apartments is unprecedented. The beautiful Lone Island, with its deserted beaches and crystal clear water, dominates the foreground and is easily accessible via boat or kayak.  Looking beyond Lone Island, you can see Koh Phi Phi off in the distance.

The Andaman Sea is not just your garden it is also your playground, and Serenity Terraces residents will have access to their own “Serenity Toys”. Despite the name, they are certainly not just for kids and include a speed boat, catamarans, and sea kayaks.

Covering All Bases

Serenity Terraces Beach front Resort and Spa is a freehold condominium project with 44 beautiful apartments and beach front villas.  The interiors are spacious yet stylish, with open and airy living areas. Every apartment has its own private terrace, ideal for relaxing and taking in the spectacular vista. With both one and two bedroom apartments and penthouses available, Serenity Terraces really does have something for everyone.

Phase One will be finished by summer 2007 and the entire project is scheduled for completion in December 2008. The building work is being undertaken by Carecom, a subsidiary of Vasi, the company responsible for high profile Phuket projects such as the Surin Beach Resort and Twin Palms Resort.

The entire Serenity Terraces project will be professionally managed to the standard you would expect from a five star hotel. The club house, which overlooks the floating jetty, is equipped with a fitness centre, gym, spa, bar and restaurant and is exclusively for the use of residents and their guests. It also has a beach front swimming pool with an infinity edge to create the illusion of the pool merging seamlessly into the sea. 

The Rise of the East

The choice of location is no accident. With its quiet beach front location and woodland on either side, the name Serenity Terraces is apt. Rawai is an up and coming location in Phuket and it’s becoming increasingly popular as a place to live but does not suffer such a seasonal influx of visitors as nearby Kata or Patong. Work is already underway on the hotly anticipated new Chalong Marina which is only two minutes drive away. Phuket Town is 15 minutes drive away and Central Plaza, Phuket’s premier shopping destination with a range of shops that would grace any western shopping mall, is only 10 minutes drive away.

Unlike Phuket’s higher profile west coast beaches, which are buffeted by monsoon winds and high seas for several months of the year, Chalong and Rawai are sheltered by the headland and islands. This means you can relax and enjoy your view from the luxurious comfort of your own home all year round. Another benefit of Serenity Terraces’ east coast location is that there is a refreshing breeze all high season and the sun sets in the west creating a cooler afternoon climate.

Back a Winner

Phuket’s popularity as both a holiday destination and a home continues to rise unabated, as do its property prices. The Serenity Terraces apartments are not just a great place to live, they are also a great investment.  With the option of 50% financing available, they might be closer to your reach than you think. If you are looking for an investment that gives you the opportunity to spend time every year in paradise, and also make a good return on your investment, Serenity Terraces could be just the place. Once you have experienced life in a Serenity Terraces apartment you may be reluctant to share it, but buyers will have the option to sign up for the “rental pool” which guarantees a return of 6% on your investment for the first three years.

Phuket itself, commonly referred to as ‘the pearl of the Andaman’, is Asia’s premier tourist destination. People are first drawn to Phuket by its picture postcard beaches and breathtaking views but keep coming back due to the well established infrastructure and excellent range of facilities. Phuket international airport is only a 45 minute drive away and it is little wonder that purchasers of Serenity Terraces apartments already hail from destinations as diverse as Russia, the UK, Sweden, Denmark and the United States.
