THE LOCATION

Villa Santi's elevation boasts dazzling views of Patong Bay, together with a wealth of culinary & entertainment venues at nearby Patong Beach.

The island has four excellent golf courses of which two are a mere 15 minutes drive away.

THE VILLAS

the spa villas

The lavish floor plan features three connected pavilions in a very private courtyard setting, with an outdoor garden and plunge pool facing the ocean. Upon entering the villa from the rear walkway, through a pair of large wood and steel bolted doors, one is immediately charmed by the spacious feeling and magnificent sea view beyond the infinity-edge pool. The centrally positioned living area, which can be either air-conditioned or fan-controlled, is flanked on both sides by two generous sized bedrooms.

The master bedroom features ample dresser space and a large bathroom with a sense of the outdoors provided by an internal garden with views of the Andaman Sea.

For those who prefer additional space, a third bedroom with bathroom and a family room can be added on a lower floor.

the apartment suites

Two styles of exclusive apartment suites will be built. Two bedroom units of 120 m2 and three bedroom units with 150 m2 floor space. All suites have excellent sea views and large outdoor terraces capturing the cool sea breeze. A unique feature is the studio-type guest room which can be accessed separately and therefore easily rented out even while the owner is in residence.

the residences

Being the definitive homes on the project, the residences feature approx. 450 square meters of in and outdoor living space on two levels. There are two master bedrooms, one or two guest bedrooms, a study, a family room, a maid and laundry room, a ten meter infinity-edge swimming pool on a large deck and a private double carport. The design allows a considerable degree of flexibility in customization and interior finishes.

The villas and residences are sold with a 30 year leasehold on the land, renewable twice, thus totaling 90 years of leasehold ownership. The land is owned by the developing company.

Leased property can be sold or passed on at any time within the 90 year period. The purchase price includes prepayment of the full 90 years' lease. Upon the expiry of the first 30 years, the owners shall have the option to purchase their land plot freehold at a nominal cost.

The developers, Villa Santi Co. Ltd., will remain fully involved once the construction of the project has been completed and will assign Blaauw & Nassau Estate Agents to provide top quality estate management and resort services that include:

• Full-time estate security
  
• Telephone assistance 24/7

• Estate maintenance & repairs
  
• High speed internet access

Owners have the opportunity to rent out their villa or apartment suite through Blaauw & Nassau and thus receive a return on their investment; (expected to be around 6% in the first year). Details on the rental income calculation will be provided on request.

The furniture package for rental villas and apartments will be designed by the developers and is a contractual requirement of the overall purchase.
