Another high flier for NE Phuket

Jumeirah Private Island (Ko Raet, NE Phuket)

Jumeirah will not be gracing NE Phuket's Ko Raet with a monumental sail-shaped structure housing a hotel. Ko Raet's 400 meter private white sandy beach (legally private only after some meters beyond the high water mark according to Thai law) and the promise of no money spared on luxury seem the main attractions of the newly-announced project.

Below is the introduction of their press release. Go to (http://www.jumeirah.com/portfolio/future/) for the full report.

"Scheduled for completion in late 2008, Jumeirah Private Island Phuket, will feature 65 lavishly appointed deluxe pool villas, each with a private infinity pool and Jacuzzi, and 12 three-bedroom luxury residential villas. There will also be four restaurants and bars, as well as extensive leisure, spa and fitness facilities, including a large free form swimming pool and a 400 metre private, white sandy beach. In addition, the resort will offer a marina, a private yacht club, a tennis court, several boutiques, a business centre and a library with dedicated reading room."
