World Tennis Association
number one ranked Female player Justine Henin has selected an apartment
on Koh Samui to be her holiday home in Thailand.
The Belgian
recently picked up a unit in Infinity Samui, a new gated low rise
luxury development on a prominent hillside position with panoramic
ocean views located in the Mae Nam area of Koh Samui. The development was recently launched by Savills in Dubai with high levels of interest received.
Commenting
on her purchase, Henin said: “I am delighted to have selected Infinity
Samui for my holiday home in Thailand as the design and stunning ocean
views provide for a truly tropical modern environment.”
Developed
by Infinity Properties, the 65-unit development is due for completion
in mid-2009. It features units ranging in size from 167-406sqm with
prices starting at Bt9.8 million. The first phase is located on the
hilliest part of the site and contains 28 apartments and six
penthouses, some with private pool; others have access to a 1,400 m2
public pool. The second phase consists of 25 spacious apartment villas
and six penthouses, all with private pools nestled in a peaceful
landscape of palm trees and greenery.
“The different phases will
be constructed in such a way that neither the views nor the peace of
the finished properties will be disturbed at any time during the
construction works,” says the developer. “In fact, the first and second
phase will be finished approximately at the same time. The zone in
front of the project is protected from future development.”
Robert
Collins, managing director of Savills (Thailand) Limited, the sole
marketing agents for Infinity Samui, commented: “Justine’s interest in
Koh Samui underscores the high level of demand for holiday homes in
Thailand and is a positive endorsement for the development and the
island.”
