Who could dispute that the penthouse is the king of all apartments, located at the highest level with elevated views over land and sea, offering space and privacy, the penthouse offers supremacy above all other units. ‘There is always room at the top’ said US Senator Daniel Webster, but not where the penthouse is concerned, this luxury is available only for a certain few.
This month we take a look at Phuket’s finest penthouses, what makes them so special and why owners can count on great rental returns and high capital appreciation.
Andara Resort Residences – Penthouses priced from 44,200,000 Baht
Overlooking the Andaman Sea and rugged Phuket coastline the Andara Residence penthouse has to be one of the most luxurious in Phuket. Lavishly finished with luxurious maka wood floors, Thai silks from Jim Thompson and hand made teak wood furniture and artefacts, the penthouse oozes quality and refinement. The interior finishing is complemented with an audio and sound system by Bose and LCD television sets by Samsung.
Andara penthouses have spacious interiors ranging from 243m2 to 405m2 and are available with two, three and four bedrooms. The duplex design allows for dedicated living accommodation on one floor with a private infinity edged swimming pool and roof top garden on the upper level.
Andara Residence penthouses are an integral part of Andara Resorts, a five star villa and apartment resort, which has been developed by Allan Zeman, founder of Lan Kwai Fong and well respected Hong Kong Businessman. He is also the developer behind The Plaza at Surin and successful Silk restaurant.
When Andara opens in December of this year, owners will be able to make full use of the resort restaurant and spa as well as a 40m swimming pool, beach club, gym, wine cellar, bar and concierge services. Andara also offers their own newly renovated 85 foot Italian motor yacht for charter exclusively by Andara Resort guests and villa owners to discover the unspoilt beauty of nearby islands.
Owners at Andara will be able to place their penthouses in a rental pool and returns are expected to be high. Currently just two penthouses remain for sale.
Kata Rocks – penthouses priced from 64,000,000 Baht
Occupying an enviable position right on the ocean front and between two of Phukets’ best beaches, Kata and Kata Noi, the penthouse at Kata Rocks is undisputedly one of the finest in Phuket.
Kata Rocks is secluded, reached only by a private road, yet is just a short walk from beaches and many excellent local restaurants, bars and amenities. Owners can also benefit from the exclusive private members club which overlooks the ocean at the base of the development.
The Club Penthouses are ideal for entertaining. They are located at the very top of the development and have 180 degrees of uninterrupted ocean views. The 430m2 interior living space is distributed over two floors and has a contemporary design with high ceilings and huge folding glass doors which open up to the private pool and terraces.
The penthouse includes five spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and an eighteen metre infinity edged swimming pool, perfect for serious swimming or just a splash around.
A private residence club is located at the base of the development and has over one thousand square metres of social space which has been designed for the sole use of the residents of the estate. A thirty metre infinity edged swimming pool looks out over the ocean, a spa is located on the rocks and there is a beach deli and wine lounge, ideal for entertainment and relaxation.
Kata Rocks promises to be a highly sought after development, 50% has already been sold or reserved and just one club penthouses remains available for sale. Owners can place their penthouse in a rental pool or simply relax and enjoy the stunning uninterrupted views.
Tawan Views – Penthouses priced from 36,000,000 Baht
Occupying a prime East Coast location at the southern end of tranquil Ao Po, Tawan Views penthouse has to be the finest East coast penthouse providing unrivalled ocean views towards Phang Nga.
The penthouse has a spacious duplex layout with an interior area of 258m2 and private roof terrace of 220m2 featuring a 15m infinity edged swimming pool and substantial roof terrace.
The stylish contemporary design, by award winning architects KplusK, makes full use of the natural light by utilising wide open spaces and floor to ceiling windows and doors. Each of the three bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom which is finished with glass tiles, terrazzo and polished limestone. The elegant master bathroom in addition features a free standing bath and a large walk-in shower set on a raised plinth.
The open plan living area is ideal for entertaining with a modern kitchen, timber floors and sandstone feature walls. The design is complemented by a smart lighting system and fully wired for a distributed sound and home theatre system.
Tawan views will be managed by a luxury hotel operator on completion in early 2010 and owners will have the option to place their penthouse in a rental pool. Owners can also benefit from excellent on-site facilities which will include a gym and spa as well as coffee shop and exclusive discounts on yacht charter.
What makes our featured penthouses so desirable, the first to sell in any development and the properties which show the highest appreciation in any apartment or condominium development?
Certainly it’s the space, the additional features such as a private swimming pool with roof terrace and of course the view. But above all it’s our desire to be at the top.

I personally think Kata Rocks is one of the best developments Phuket has on offer.
I agree the location is superb. Let’s hope when the development is completed the apartments are equally special.
