Ideas 1606, a leading boutique real estate developer in Thailand and owner of the luxury residential brand VEYLA, has announced the success of its latest project, Veyla Natai Residences. The project achieved over 65% sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, generating an 8% return for investors in 2022. The company is confident in the potential of the 'Natai-Koh Kloy' area, a rising destination that combines tasteful design and premium construction, attracting global investors.

Ms. Prapawadee Sophonpanit, founder and managing director of Ideas 1606 Co., Ltd. and CEO of Veyla Natai Residences, shared insights about the business during this period. The Veyla Natai Residences, the third luxury residential project under Ideas 1606, located on Natai Beach in Koh Kloy, Phang Nga, has achieved sales of 780 million baht, with 11 out of 15 units sold as of April 20, 2023. Following a reopening after the COVID-19 situation improved last year, the project has seen a 15% increase in prices and an 8% return for investors since its rental launch in July 2022.

“The quick purchasing decisions of buyers reflect the high demand for luxury homes in Phuket and Phang Nga, particularly among clients who value living close to nature and appreciate high-quality design and construction. We believe the success of Veyla Natai Residences stems from the combination of the potential location of 'Natai-Koh Kloy', a booming destination in the luxury real estate market, along with the quality of the homes under the 'VEYLA' brand and the project's exceptional concept,” Ms. Prapawadee stated.

The Veyla Natai Residences project is a luxurious freehold villa project valued at over 1.2 billion baht, situated on 5.8 rai of land along Natai Beach in Koh Kloy, Phang Nga, just 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport. Launched in mid-2019, it attracted high-end clients with its tasteful design and excellent construction quality, featuring a monochromatic style under the concept of Craft Your Digital Life, blending natural elements with modern lifestyle. The serene atmosphere is close to abundant nature and amenities, comprising a total of 15 villas divided into two types: Veyla Beach (2-story villa, 615 square meters) located beachfront and Veyla Sea (3-story villa, 585 square meters) positioned behind. Each villa faces the Andaman Sea, offering stunning sea views, with prices starting from 75 to 98 million baht.

The homes in the Veyla Natai Residences project are among the best residences in Thailand, featuring designs and quality that cater to modern residents, along with truly attentive services such as a 25-meter saltwater swimming pool, jacuzzi, outdoor movie area, fitness center, lounge, sun deck, moon deck bar, and a chef's table for residents wishing to create their own culinary experiences. Additionally, the project includes a Home Automation system that allows residents to control everything from temperature to lighting and air circulation via a mobile app. The communal area, Veyla Sand, spans 530 square meters, maintaining a community-focused lifestyle while also managing rental programs that provide strong returns for investors.

Located in Koh Kloy, Takua Thung District, Phang Nga, the Veyla Natai Residences project is the closest town to Phuket, situated on the Andaman Sea coast. It boasts beautiful beaches stretching approximately 10 kilometers and is rapidly developing with major infrastructure projects, including an 8-lane main road, community connecting roads, and a new international airport, supporting the expansion of the real estate market in Phuket and Phang Nga into Koh Kloy, which currently has high demand for vacation homes.

Mr. Somboon Jinda-Phol, the head of the Koh Kloy Administrative Organization, revealed plans for infrastructure development in Koh Kloy, stating, “Koh Kloy consists of public parks, natural areas, and community activity spaces. Key locations include Wat Trai Marak Satit, the beaches of Khao Pilai/Natai, the Sri Phet Pagoda, and the Khao/Ton Na Waterfall, among others. The charm here lies in its tranquility, natural beauty, and the friendliness of the locals, along with an expandable urban plan. Its location next to the main highway makes transportation convenient, supporting tourism and transport in the Andaman region. It also serves as a vital route through provinces like Phuket, Krabi, Ranong, and Surat Thani, making Koh Kloy a new location for the real estate market, with hotels, villas, vacation homes, and beach clubs emerging to cater to diverse lifestyles.”

Regarding the trends and demand for housing in Koh Kloy-Natai, Andy Parkhouse, managing director of Elite Haven, stated, “Market surveys in Phuket over the past 2-3 years show that the vacation home market has become saturated, with land prices soaring to 30-40 million baht per rai. This has led to a trend of expanding locations away from Phuket Island to Phang Nga-Krabi, especially Phang Nga, which is only half an hour from Phuket Airport. Thus, 'Natai Beach' is increasingly attracting buyers and investors, similar to the Veyla Natai Residences project, which fills the current market gap due to its attractive pricing and location by the sea, close to nature, offering privacy, convenient access, and proximity to the airport and amenities, with long-term investment potential. Additionally, homeowners will enjoy exclusive access to various project facilities and year-round accommodation offers, unlike other projects. Therefore, investing in Veyla Natai Residences is definitely worthwhile in the long run,” Elite Haven concluded.

Following this success, Ideas 1606 has laid out a strategic plan to refresh the VEYLA brand image to better target the new generation, using the Veyla Natai Residences project and two previous projects in Hua Hin and Cha-am as models for future development. “As we have a growing number of young clients, we plan to modernize the VEYLA brand by highlighting our strengths and enhancing other aspects to keep pace with contemporary living. Our expertise lies in developing low-density high-end residences equipped with cutting-edge technology and digital solutions that allow residents to stay connected with their homes at all times, addressing the lifestyle needs of the new generation. Furthermore, we prioritize the mindset of building homes for the best quality by paying attention to comfort and safety details for residents, while also considering future adaptability and limitless expansion,” Ms. Prapawadee added.

Ideas 1606 has built a reputation through the success of two projects: Veyla Khao Tao Residences in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, which won the Thailand Property Awards for Best Condominium in Hua Hin in 2010, and Veyla Cha Am Residences in Cha-am, Phetchaburi, which received the Best Residential Project award in 2015. Most recently, the Veyla Natai Residences project won the International Architecture Award 2020 and the ICONIC AWARDS 2022: Innovative Architecture just three years after its launch. The brand 'Veyla' was created to represent the crafting of residential projects that emphasize relaxation and self-time, with the term also meaning 'seaside home' in Sanskrit.
