Edward Carter's TRAVELS: Just opened... T R I S A R A, Phuket, Thailand

Tony Lark was the General Manager when Amanpuri opened some sixteen years ago. Under 30, bright-eyed, and bushy-tailed, Tony's drive, dedication, and genuine hospitality put Amanpuri and Phuket on the “must visit” lists of every sophisticated traveler in the world. Indeed, Amanpuri became the world’s benchmark for ultra-luxurious, tropical resorts. I’ve always wondered how he was going to follow that act...a few days ago, Tony opened T R I S A R A, and I predict it will be the new tropical benchmark for the next decade or so.

This is the first time I have written about a place I haven’t yet visited, but I know Tony, I certainly know what he did at Amanpuri, and just have a look at this...

Each unit has an “infinity” pool, all face the gorgeous Andaman Sea, and many with absolute ocean frontage. (Only two units at Amanpuri have direct, clear views of the sea, but the brochure doesn’t tell you that.)

Just as comfortable as home, maybe even more so.

Don't you love a sofa in the bathroom!

This what the property looked like before construction. Encompassing its own pristine bay, Trisara provides one of the most valuable commodities in the world—protected solitude.

Night, night, sleep tight. See you in Phuket.

Highlights:

· Managed by Anthony Lark

· 33 individual, pool villas plus 12 privately-owned, residential villas. (Tony’s rolodex must contain the most eager buyers in the world—the 12 villas were sold almost overnight.)

· Each pool villa with its own 10 meter pool is more than 2000 square feet in area—the bedroom is about 1000 square feet itself. Wow!

· Secluded beach (an hour and a half per day, the reef hampers access to the sea but Trisara’s adjoining beach is always open to the sea).

· 15 minutes from the airport

· Activities/facilities include: spa, tennis, yachting, golf, even a library. A major emphasis is on private dining especially in the residential villas that have their own kitchens and live-in staff.

· Priced below Amanpuri!

All the best,

Uncle Ted
