Of all tropical islands hideaways, Phuket is exceptional in its natural beauty and unspoilt charm. Just over one hour's flying time from Bangkok, Phuket's sun-drenched beaches are bathed by the warm clear waters of the Andaman Sea and backed by lush vegetation-clad hills.

The Residence Kalim Bay's luxurious sea-facing apartments, located on not more than four floors are built in a typical Thai style, with the finest of natural Thai materials such as teak, terracotta and cane. Our large and beautifully designed swimming pool, jacuzzi and children's pool nestle amidst The Residence's tropical Thai garden providing a focal point to the Residence, while a stone's throw away is Kalim Beach, a fine stretch of powdery white sand rimmed by coconut palms, a shore where fishermen occasionally still cast nets in the early hours of dawn.
