Luxury villa sale gets underway in Hong Kong
The sale of a collection of eight spacious luxury villas, with up to five indulgently themed bedrooms, private swimming pools and doorstep moorings officially launched in Hong Kong this month.
Located at Royal Phuket Marina, Thailand’s first world-class luxury lifestyle marina community, rivalling top resort communities in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, two of the eight homes have already sold and are said to be the most prestigious on Phuket’s ‘up and coming’ eastern seaboard.
With nearly all of the 66 condos and penthouses in Phase One of the island’s first ‘high-end’ residential marina already snapped-up—by Phuket holiday goers and investors—the recent villa launch is just in time to meet the market’s ever growing demands.
“We were overwhelmed with buyers’ responses as soon as the villas were put on the market, “said Royal Phuket Marina Sales Manager, Jim Nelson.
“I am thrilled that two of eight villas have sold and feel a great sense of achievement in offering the last few luxury properties that comprise the first phase of this stunning development,” Nelson continued.

The marina is double the size of any other yachting haven in Phuket, and the only facility with a lock, deepwater basin and private moorings on the doorstep of residences.
Royal Phuket Marina was also awarded, just months prior to its 2005 opening, the prestigious “Five Gold Anchor” by the Yacht Harbour Association, an arm of the British Marine Federation.
The marina has quickly established itself at the forefront of Phuket’s yachting establishment, sponsoring the prestigious international King’s Cup.
