What has been said about Phuket, Thailand, South East Asia as a Yachting Destination

This is considered to be the best sailing destination in Southeast Asia due to its extensive coastline, lush islands and beautiful rock formations. The islands of Thailand may each offer a unique beach but they share the pristine waters and tranquility. Phuket is perfect for sailing enthusiasts who want to escape the busy life and enjoy exotic fauna and flora, hidden coves and bays.

The Royal Phuket Marina (RPM)  is located on Phuket’s east coast, away from the tourist crowds and the town’s bustling activity, yet. Only minutes from other attractions on the Island.

For some, Royal Phuket Marina is a hub of excitement, regattas and parties, cocktails on the Boardwalk, or sharing adventures after a day at sea. For others, it is quiet relaxation, lounging at the café, or a rare vintage wine with friends. The perfect calm. For everyone, it is the very definition of luxury.

The pioneering “Aquaminium” – the world’s first apartment complex on top of ‘drive-in’ boat berths, perched above the marina dock – has been acknowledged as one of the world’s most unique and chic marina lifestyle options.

Royal Phuket Marina (RPM) is one of the most distinguished World-Class destinations combining luxury waterfront living with a state-of-the-art marina within itself. She probably is Asia’s most sophisticated high-tech yachting haven and is proud to be awarded with the prestigious “5 Golden Anchor Award” by the British Yacht Harbour Association.

While this is already the highest honour to be given to a marina, RPM, a proud holder of CNBC’s well known “Best International Design” award, was recently also granted by Cityscape to be the “Best Waterfront Development in Asia” during their Singapore-2010 event which is considered to be the Real Estate Oscar in its kind… Hence it is not to anyones surprise that RPM is also the location of the Phuket International Boat Show known as PIMEX and in recent years has been the venue for the closing celebrations of the regionally (if not internationally) renowned Phuket King’s Cup Regatta.

No doubt, life at any marina is special and surely the lifestyle at Royal Phuket Marina is truly unique in its own ways… On the other hand, as a natural result of its convenient location situated right in the heart of the “Best Asian Maritime Capital” (awarded during Asia Boating Awards 2010-Hong Kong), RPM has surely a lot more to offer to her guests.

In RPM, while living in the heart of Asia’s most stunning marine environment with the world-famous wonders of Phang Nga Bay located just 20 minutes away by boat, you will enjoy the balmy weather that makes year-round sailing a fantastic reality!
