Simply The Best

It’s official. The launch of the Conrad Koh Samui Residences sees Samui genuinely rub shoulders with the world’s most luxurious and exclusive destinations.

Hillcrest Residences (Samui) Company Limited, together with the Hilton Hotels Corporation, recently unveiled the much awaited plans of the exclusive Conrad Koh Samui Residences. Hong Kong was chosen for the launch, as the aim is to benefit from the growing demand from this affluent buyer’s market for high-end luxury holiday homes.

Located on a secluded hill overlooking Phang Ka Beach at the south-western tip of the island, the Conrad Koh Samui Residences will consist of 32 pool-villas surrounded by coconut plantations and each featuring spectacular panoramic views across the Gulf of Thailand.

Lyon Lau, Managing Director of Hillcrest Residences (Samui) Company Limited said, “This new development introduces, to Samui, the whole notion of the branded residence concept, offering truly luxurious and memorable getaways for today’s discerning, and market-savvy, home buyers.”

Leading regional property agent, Savills Thailand Limited, is the sole sales agent for Conrad Koh Samui Residences and the marketing and sales of the project will be enhanced by the recent opening of Savills’ Samui office in Chaweng.
Robert Collins, Managing Director of Savills Thailand, stated, “Demand for high-end luxury residences is rising, buyers are still eager to acquire holiday homes in premier tropical destinations across the Asia Pacific region, with Thailand leading the pack as an ideal location for holiday homes. Luxury property prices on Samui compare favourably with other destinations in Thailand, and developments such as Conrad Koh Samui Residences reflect the new emphasis on environmentally conscious development, whilst also offering buyers an excellent sea-view location, first-class amenities and excellent investment potential.”

Singapore-based architectural firm, Eco.id Architects and Design Consultancy Pte. Ltd. is responsible for the extraordinary architectural style of the residences, and the internationally renowned Wilson Associates is preparing the interior concepts and designs.

Hillcrest Residences (Samui) Company Limited is a Thailand-incorporated company and a subsidiary of Hillcrest Capital Limited focusing on developing properties that reflect the lifestyles of the affluent, who appreciate the finer things in life, in particular developments located in truly exclusive and idyllic locations across the Asia-Pacific region, such as Samui.

Conrad Hotels uses the motto, “Luxury as unique as every guest,” and as the most global luxury brand within the Hilton Family, Conrad Hotels combines a proud and prestigious heritage with a very contemporary attitude resulting in an atmosphere of genuine warmth.

The Conrad concept is all about offering unique experiences for discerning travellers and it is this individuality that sets Conrad Hotels apart from its competitors. The aim of all Conrad Resorts is to provide people with the ultimate luxury; a place where you can truly be yourself.

Conrad Hotels was founded in 1982, with the goal of operating a network of luxury hotels and resorts in the world’s major business and tourism capitals, and top resort destinations.

Winning the coveted World’s Leading Luxury Hotel Brand award at the World Travel Awards in both 2005 and 2006, Conrad has proven that it really does set the benchmark in luxury, style and quality, and the mere opening of one of its resorts or hotels at a destination brings, with it, a certain prestige to the location.

Conrad is currently undergoing a time of dynamic growth and the most exciting period of its colourful and successful history. A selection of new hotels and resorts is being planned for strategically chosen destinations around the world. Locations that have been specifically selected for their ability to further enhance the Conrad Brand and the guests’ experience.

So, just having a Conrad resort is a major boost to any destination, but Samui gains even more kudos than most as it has been chosen for the luxury Conrad Residences, too. At present such residences only exist in three other destinations, Bangkok, Indianapolis and Miami. Conrad Hotels’ luxury residences provide all the qualities and standards of a Conrad hotel in a totally unique residential experience; with individual style and flair being the primary focus.

The Conrad Koh Samui Resort & Spa is scheduled to open in 2009, and will set new standards for spa resorts on Samui. Spread over 25 acres, the luxurious Conrad Koh Samui Resort & Spa will offer views across the Gulf of Thailand, the beautiful outlying islands, and the surrounding tropical landscape of coconut plantations. Its west-facing position also makes it perfectly situated to enjoy the legendary Samui sunsets.

Conrad Koh Samui Residences offers two- and three-bedroom pool-villas featuring sea-views and a minimum of 320 square metres of built-up area; complete with a private plunge-pool and a generous outdoor sundeck area to make the most of the tropical luxury lifestyle, the pleasant year-round climate, and the panoramic views. The residences represent Conrad’s dedication in the pursuit of providing impeccable service, and a private world shaped to fit your lifestyle.

The resort and the residences will benefit from a variety of dining and recreational facilities that will complement the high-end luxury experience synonymous with the Conrad brand. For example, the scenic spa will combine international treatments with a uniquely Thai philosophy and design accent.

There’ll be meeting and business centre facilities also offering first-class service, and amenities for business travellers and the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) segment looking to experience exclusive events.

The opening of the Conrad Koh Samui Resort & Spa, and the Conrad Koh Samui Residences should not be underestimated. Such a brand is capable of influencing world opinion about a destination, and it will definitely have a noticeable and positive impact on the kind of traveller, and real-estate investor, who’ll be attracted to Samui in the future.
