Delivering a Feeling Of Opulence starts with an unrivalled location.

Just nineteen individually designed villas will rise upon a stunning 24 acre site overlooking pristine Naithon Beach on the north-west corner of Phuket Island. With plots between 1,600 and 3,200 square metres   each villa is designed to integrate harmoniously with the individual topography of each of the stunning lots allowing unrivalled views across the Andaman Sea, while also ensuring that most important facet of FOO…total privacy.

The selection of our architect gave us much FOO for thought. We decided upon the world renowned principal of GFAB Architects, Gary Fell, who is leaving his dramatic architectural signature upon resort and villa projects around south-east Asia.

Gary Fell immediately understood our FOO Philosophy with his ideas for building Istana. He envisioned the villas cascading down the sloping site, at times anchored into the hill, and at other times springing from it with audacious cantilevers. Each villa is designed to merge with the rain forest environment, becoming part of the site itself. Mature trees and native vegetation are preserved wherever possible and integrated into the architecture itself. Vegetation and bodies of water are used to bring natural cooling to the abundant outside living areas. The resulting design is timeless, rooted quite literally in the physical site.

In his own eloquent words Gary Fell says, “With Istana I plan to create villas that are sensitive to their surrounding environment. While each will have wonderful sea views, there is abundant space to give a strong tropical jungle feeling to the interior of each property. The villas encourage outdoor living in harmony with the natural setting. I prefer to use local building materials, often found at the site, in order to lend authenticity to the character of the homes. The designs respect the environment, but are strong, beautiful pieces of architecture whose character will hold value and interest in the future.” We feel blessed to have found an architect to whom creating a Feeling Of Opulence seems to be second nature!

Our philosophy then is quite simple….

We aim to always deliver a total Feeling Of Opulence in this fabulous location through exclusivity, ultimate quality, contemporary design and environmental harmony.
