Apartment in Saint Tropez (Naithon)

Architecture and interior

Architectural style: contemporary tropical modernism.

It reads in two moves. First, horizontal bands of balcony slabs with rounded corners wrapping the end of the building. Second, vertical concrete sun-shading fins on the blank facade. The facades are light, sand-white, without ornament. All the expression rests on the modelling of the volume and on the play of light in the deep loggias. The roof is planted and works as a terrace.

The unit interiors are kept to a warm neutral palette: pale oak, cream walls, ribbed timber panels at the bed head and by the entrance. There is a single accent colour, applied consistently: terracotta in the textiles and upholstery, supported by olive details. The kitchen is fitted, with lit shelving. Bathrooms are finished in large-format stone-effect tiling. The style is fairly described as contemporary tropical with a Japandi influence: minimal ornament, plenty of timber, an emphasis on texture.

Layouts

136 apartments, 11 base layout types plus mirrored variants, from 30.62 to 67.50 sq m.

Studios 30.62-37.42 sq m (types A, A1, A4, A5). A single space with zoning: the sleeping area is separated from the living room by cabinetry, the kitchen is built into a run by the entrance, the bathroom has a shower. Every unit has a terrace.

1 bedroom (type A2). A separate bedroom plus a living room with a dining area, and a rounded terrace on the building's corner axis.

2 bedrooms, 49.85-67.50 sq m (types B1, B2, C, C1, C2, A3). Type B1 (49.85 sq m) has two bedrooms with one bathroom and a shared terrace off the living room. Type C1 (67.50 sq m) has two bathrooms, two wardrobes, two dressing areas and a rounded terrace off the living room. The bedrooms are placed on opposite sides of the apartment across the shared area: privacy is greater, and the unit is easy to let to two couples.

Ground-floor units (101-113) come with their own garden. The format is rare in a condominium and a clear advantage for families with children and for dog owners.

Every type includes a laundry area with a washing machine inside the unit, built-in wardrobes, a dressing table and a terrace.

Location

Thalang, Naithon, the west coast of Phuket.

Naithon remains one of the island's last quiet bays. The beach is a half-circle with a gentle entry to the water, closed at both ends by rocky headlands. Development is limited by Sirinat National Park and the wooded hills, so dense high-rise will not appear here. Saint Tropez stands above beach level, on the slope, with sightlines to the sea and to the forest.

Landmarks and driving times:

• Naithon beach: 2 min
• Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon 5*: 2 min
• Phuket Elephant Care: 4 min
• Banana Beach: 6 min
• Phuket international airport: 13 min
• Sirinat National Park: 16 min
• Thanyapura sports centre: 16 min
• Thalang Hospital: 18 min
• UWC Thailand International School: 20 min
• Laguna Golf Phuket: 21 min
• Lotus's supermarket: 21 min
• Makro Thalang: 22 min
• Blue Canyon Country Club: 22 min
• HomePro Thalang: 23 min
• Bumrungrad International Hospital Phuket: 23 min
• Blue Tree Water Park: 24 min
• Robinson Lifestyle Shopping Mall: 24 min

A separate argument for the area is what surrounds it. A few hundred metres from Saint Tropez the Naithon cluster is building a wellness centre, a MICE hotel, a commercial gallery by the beach, a community mall, a sports club and apartments under the Wyndham Garden brand. The facilities Naithon has historically lacked are being created by the district's own developer.

Who is it for

Families. Ground-floor units with their own garden, a children's pool basin, a kids' club, the UWC school 20 minutes away, Bumrungrad hospital 23. A quiet bay with no nightlife.

Expats. The airport 13 minutes away, a serious argument for frequent flyers. Plus Thanyapura, two golf clubs, HomePro and Makro within half an hour.

For your own holidays. Naithon beach two minutes away, the Pullman 5* next door, and none of the density of Bang Tao or Patong.

Saint Tropez Naithon suits buyers entering early in an area that is still underrated but is being developed systematically by a single developer. Locations like this appreciate steadily, as the surrounding facilities come on stream, rather than in jumps.
