Phuket Villa 4251

Villa Sand in beautiful Natai Beach in Phang Nga is close to Phuket's amenities and only 20 minutes drive north of Phuket International airport. This region provides an area for quiet getaways surrounded by nature and is fast becoming the region's "Hamptons". The area's biggest draw is the 65 luxury homes with steps leading directly to the beach. Some are built and some are under construction. Interesting new properties include: Branko's ultra sleek 4,000sqm bachelor pad complete with 130m of oceanfront and two golf holes; and the planned 3,500sqm residence that has a 100m pool set amidst 10 acres of landscaped gardens.

The Yacht Haven Marina - the main docking area for the region's biggest boats, is very near to Natai. Recent boats plying the coast include Roman Abramovich's Pelorus, Paul Allen's Tatoosh and Samax - the Sultan of Brunei's boating palace now owned by a G5 globe trotting property investor; all of which are more than 250 ft with a bevy of toys, choppers and very large tenders.

In the region of Natai, there are stunning waterfall parks for swimming and picnics are situated along tropical rainforest trails. Rafting is a popular pastime on several fast-flowing rivers.

The proximity of Villa Sand in Natai beach to charming nearby Thai towns of Kok Kloi and Thai Muang makes shopping easy and offers an opportunity to learn about traditional Thai culture.

Daytime activities include: snorkelling, diving or discovering the island beaches; the Similans (as known by the locals) are a dream destination for day trips or camping.

To the North East is Khao Sok National Park. The freshwater Cheow Lan Lake in the area offers a contrast to the sea and sun. The cool mountain heights of Khao Sok are home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna, including hornbills, tigers, macaque monkeys and the world's largest flower; Rafflesia Kerrii.

Heading east from the sanctuary of Natai Beach, Krabi province is a nature lover's paradise.
