Contemporary Palace in Paradise

Phuket has long been an ideal choice for expats wanting to relocate to paradise – Surin Villa, with its stunning views of the island, offers a distinctive environment in which to revel in the beauty of Phuket.

when choosing to uproot your life from a city you have known for decades to replant in a distant land, there should be something especially spectacular about your new choice of home in order to make the transition easier – and, as many expats would agree, there is definitely something special about Phuket, Thailand.

Phuket is one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations. Idyllic, white sand beaches with sweeping views of the Andaman sea are the perfect places to relax by day, and the coast is dotted with bars, nightclubs, and restaurants where tourists and locals spend revelling during balmy Thai evenings.

But the island, dubbed The Pearl of the Andaman, is not only about drinks and dancing. There are many other activities to partake in, from the extremely relaxing to more adrenaline-pumping variety.

About a 10-minute drive from the airport is Nai Yang Beach, on which the The Phuket Marriott Resort and Spa offers yoga classes to start your day on a soothing note. Taking to the sea, many water sports are on offer, from kayaking and kitesurfing, to stand-up paddleboarding and game fishing. Phuket is among the top-10 diving destinations in the world because of its spectacular reefs and marine life, but if you would rather forgo the oxygen tank, snorkelling is also a great way to see the wonderfully colourful world under the waves.

All this makes Phuket a paradise, which is why many have chosen to set up a permanent base on the island. of course, when relocating to paradise, you would want to take full advantage of the idyllic views offered by the island.
