Phuket, the Pearl of the South, bordered by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, with its rolling landscape and golden beaches…
Phuket
On its western coast, dreamy bays follow one after the other. All are equally splendid, each with its own particularity. Although Patong, Karon, Kata, and Kamala nowadays live solely off tourism and offer a multitude of accommodation possibilities, in Surin, Bang Tao, Nai Harn, and Mai Khao one can still find fishing villages and orchards that hide luxurious hotels more conducive to family vacations. Whichever beach hosts your stay with us, there will be numerous opportunities to indulge yourself, from international restaurants offering a mix of cuisines from all over the world, nightclubs with varied shows, and trendier Beach Clubs where you dance by the sea in the mild tropical night.
The eastern shore of Phuket, covered with mangroves and lacking beaches, is favored by expatriates, long-term foreign residents who prefer to live quietly, away from the touristy parties of the west coast. It is here that lovers of Phuket, who after spending their vacations there every year during their working life, decide to stay for good upon reaching retirement age.
To help them make a fresh start, to begin this new phase of life under the best possible conditions, several real estate agencies, insurance brokers, and boat builders offer their services. We offer a selection of these specialists who, apart from their professionalism, also have the advantage of having at least one English-speaking team member. READ ON

The islands and beaches of Phuket have a special appeal for scuba diving enthusiasts. Whether you seek a day trip in Phuket or a dive at Ko Phi Phi & Racha, the options are plentiful. The Andaman coast of Thailand offers fabulous landscapes, sparkling beaches, and astonishing undersea experiences for divers. Phuket is also known for its multiple marinas nestled in its eastern coves, where a yacht or a more traditional local vessel will take you on a cruise around the nearby islands. The seabed of Phuket is so acclaimed that a diving enthusiast cannot truly be satisfied until they have explored these waters. It is the island with golf courses weaving through the hills, with the smiles of its inhabitants whom you meet whilst taking the time to sip a coconut or eat a chicken skewer by the roadside… Phuket, a paradise.
