Larimar Villas: villas in Chalong

Larimar Villas: a family estate of smart homes by a lake in Chalong

Larimar Villas was built by Athena Developer, part of a Phuket family group with long-standing businesses on the island and in Phang Nga. The estate covers about 8 rai (roughly 14,500 m²) next to a small lake backed by green hills. It holds 35 villas, delivered in several phases.

The idea behind the project is technology for everyday family life. The developer markets Larimar as the island's first estate with AI home control: voice commands, smart lighting and climate, and a retractable kitchen table in natural stone. Sources state that the project was completed at the end of 2025, so buyers can walk through a finished house before signing.

Among Chalong villas, Larimar sits in the middle of the price range: four bedrooms and a private pool cost noticeably less here than at the neighbouring Larimar Vista by the same developer, where houses are larger and still under construction.

Layouts

4-bedroom villa, type A

A two-storey house of about 339 m² on a plot from 240 m². The ground floor is an open living, dining and kitchen space that opens to a terrace and a private pool. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a generous master suite, with five bathrooms in total. Current offers start from 17,800,000 THB.

3-bedroom villa with study, type B

The same size, but one room is planned as a study or guest room, which suits people who work from home. For both types the developer offers a furniture package for 1,500,000 THB.

The houses and the estate

• Argon-filled double glazing and storm-rated aluminium frames
• Large-format tiles, stone finishes and low-emission ENF-grade materials
• Clubhouse with a coffee corner, gym and landscaped garden
• A dedicated zone for pets
• 24-hour concierge and security, CCTV, covered parking

The architecture is by AHA Design Studio: light volumes, vertical louvres on the facades and double-height living rooms.

The Chalong area

Chalong is one of the most practical places on Phuket for year-round living. Many expat families live here, with international schools, clinics, Villa Market and Robinson supermarkets and well-known Muay Thai camps nearby. Boats to the islands leave from Chalong Bay, and Wat Chalong temple and the Big Buddha hill are close. The southern beaches and Phuket Town are reached by car without crossing the tourist centre.

Buying terms

A reservation costs 200,000 THB, 30% is paid at contract signing and the balance is split into instalments, with plans of up to five years on some plots. Foreign buyers take the land on a 30-year lease with two renewals, while a Thai company can hold it freehold. The common area fee is 40 THB per m² per month and the sinking fund is a one-off 500 THB per m².
