Absolute World Group Break Ground on Phase II of Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa

    PHUKET, THAILAND, January 29, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Set on a stunning peninsula just south of Patong and nestled between two of Phuket's most idyllic white beaches with a host of leisure and shopping amenities close by, Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa is a solid resort investment offering from established development partners the Absolute World Group and leading international agent Jones Lang LaSalle.

The luxury resort in Thailand enjoyed tremendous success in its sell out first phase and Phase II was official launched in 2013 and quickly sold out off plan. Construction is now underway and expected to be complete Q2 2015.

A stylish mixed-use development, Phase II offers outright real estate and an award-winning shared ownership programme. The 50 apartments offer a contemporary tropical living experience in a highly-sought-after neighbourhood which will also welcome a six-star Rosewood Resort also in 2015.

Speaking at the ground-breaking, Bryan Lunt, CEO Absolute World Group, said, "It is very encouraging to see the huge success of Phase I after one year of resort operation, and today we start on a new journey with the construction of Phase II. Like Phase I, Phase II was sold out off plan, delivering great value and affordable luxury to our owners. We look forward to launching Phase III soon once again in partnership with leading international agent Jones Lang LaSalle."

At a time when lifestyles are changing and investors are looking for more creative investment opportunities, the Absolute World Group and its award-winning shared ownership programme at Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa give buyers choice and flexibility in a world-class resort property.

This stylish resort offers all the five-star services and facilities you would expect from a world-class Absolute development, including full concierge services, wellness spa, fitness centre and children's club, multi-level infinity pools, 24-hour security and unique dining experiences at either the Blue Mango Restaurant, on the terrace, in a private cabana or in the comfort of your own suite.

While Phase II enters the construction and delivery stage, the exciting Phase III of the award-winning mixed-use resort development is nearing launch. Select opportunities at pre-launch prices will be announced late February 2014 but these are expected to start in the region of THB 100,000 sqm upwards, compared to many on the island now starting around THB 140,000 sqm, with the general release of Phase III anticipated to be in April 2014. Phase III will consist of a further superior collection of contemporary apartments and villa style apartments, connected by extensive waterways and cascading waterfalls, located in the resort grounds and will include a market-leading 360º Wellness Centre.

Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa is developed in partnership with APlan properties - a co-operation that has already borne success in the Absolute Nakalay Beach Resort, Phuket (opened 2010) - and with Estate Management services by Jones Lang LaSalle Thailand.

Dexter Norville, National Director, Jones Lang LaSalle Thailand commented, "Jones Lang LaSalle is thrilled to continue to lead sales at this prestigious resort and provide our highly acclaimed management services, including juristic management functions. Once again we look forward to the continued success of our award-winning collaboration with the Absolute World Group and providing our owners with a product that we feel is hard to beat."

The Absolute World Group are also set to open their much anticipated Boutique Private Residence Club, The Beach Samui, on Koh Samui in May 2014, part of the world-renowned Design Hotels collection.
