PHUKET, THAILAND, Dec 12: Along Kamala’s emerald hills and tranquil Andaman shoreline, The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort introduce a contemporary design language for Asian luxury living. More than an extension of the award-winning resort, this new residential chapter blends architecture, landscape, and interiors to create a sanctuary of calm, comfort, and everyday elegance.
Developed by Proud Real Estate Public Company Limited in collaboration with IHG Hotels & Resorts, the THB 2.5 billion development marks the brand’s second residential venture in Thailand, following the sold-out success of InterContinental Residences Hua Hin. Adjacent to the Two MICHELIN Keys InterContinental Phuket Resort, the residences offer a private, refined living experience shaped by thoughtful design, wellness features, and a close relationship with nature.
Where Mountains Meet the Andaman
Set between verdant rainforest ridges and one of Phuket’s most coveted coastlines, the residences are envisioned as “The Edge of Heaven.” The masterplan completes the resort’s three-part narrative inspired by Tribhumikatha cosmology—with the hotel as the Heart of Heaven, the gardens as the Garden of Heaven, and the residences representing the Far East Paradise.
“Phuket continues to mature as a highly desirable destination for travellers and long-term homeowners,” says Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director for South East Asia and Korea at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Our partnership with Proud Real Estate extends InterContinental’s heritage of refined hospitality into a residential experience designed for modern living.”
A New Architectural Expression for Asia
Designed by Habita Architects, the residences reinterpret Phuket’s Sino-European heritage with a soft, modern sensibility. Stone façades, shaded colonnades, and recessed corners allow the structures to blend naturally into the hillside. Each building is angled toward mountain or sea views, balancing breathtaking perspectives with complete privacy.
Courtyards break the massing into human-scale zones, while ventilated screens and limestone detailing temper the tropical light into gentle patterns.
“We designed a home that breathes,” says Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Real Estate. “Light, material, proportion—everything supports an effortless living experience where calm is built into the architecture.”
Interiors That Blend Culture with Climate
Interior design by PIA Interior infuses modern sanctuary living with Peranakan artistry, Sino-European influences, and Thai storytelling. Soft palettes inspired by historic Ayutthaya- and Thonburi-era maps, natural wood tones, and cross-ventilated layouts create spaces that evolve with the shifting light of the day.
Inside each home, open-plan layouts connect kitchen, dining, and lounge areas seamlessly—evoking warmth, elegance, and a deep connection with nature.
Landscapes Inspired by Myth
The landscape design by PLA Landscape imagines the environment as the “secret garden of Himmapan,” the mythical forest between heaven and earth. Planting zones—each inspired by ancient folklore’s four guardians—introduce pockets of movement, shade, and narrative richness.
Softened building edges, ventilated façades, and greenery-wrapped structures respond thoughtfully to Phuket’s tropical climate. At the centre lies the Paradise Garden Court, a green sanctuary framed by mountains and sea, anchored by the elegant Sala Pavilion, symbolising the project’s harmony of heritage, nature, and contemporary living.
Wellbeing Embedded in Design
The development is progressing toward Fitwel Certification, reflecting a commitment to wellness-focused living. Natural ventilation, abundant daylight, grey-water recycling, and rooftop solar arrays support healthier and more sustainable homes.
Residents have access to hydro-massage pools, Technogym fitness with Aqua Symphony, meditation zones, nearly 2,000 sq. m of green space, and full access to the resort’s Sati Spa and MICHELIN-recognised dining.
Yacht charters, curated wellness rituals, private dining, and personalised concierge services further extend the InterContinental standard into everyday life.
A Destination for Asia’s Discerning Buyers
According to the C9 Hotelworks Asia Branded Residences Market Review 2025, Thailand leads the region with 18% of branded-residence supply, with Phuket commanding the strongest pipeline—3,201 units across 24 projects. Today’s buyers prioritise sustainability, provenance, and service excellence over spectacle.
The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort reflect this shift with a low-density plan of 111 private units, spanning two seven-storey buildings and a three-storey facilities pavilion. Options include one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom-plus configurations, corner units, pool residences, and five-bedroom penthouses. Prices start at THB 15 million.
For discerning buyers from India and across Asia, the appeal is clear—seamless hospitality, private-home comfort, and a design ethos grounded in culture and clarity.
Along a coastline known for bold architectural statements, this development opts for understated confidence. Natural tones, greenery-softened façades, crafted materials, and refined proportions shape a sanctuary where luxury is defined not by extravagance, but by serenity.
