Wellness apartments on Kamala Beach: Fitwel certification for new luxury projects!
A lot is happening in the area of housing in Hua Hin. A new project is targeting Fitwel certification to focus on the well-being of future residents. This American standard, which is becoming increasingly important in Thailand, emphasizes aspects such as natural lighting, the use of cancer-free materials and noise protection. This positions the project as a pioneer that not only offers attractive design, but also strives for well-thought-out management. There are regular controls on water quality and air quality, particularly regarding harmful PM2.5 levels often found in urban areas. According to Nation Thailand, such measures are crucial to creating healthy habitats.
Monthly fees for common areas are 120 baht per square meter and include cleaning once a month. This is intended to provide relief, especially for residents of apartments that are used irregularly. Another plus point of the project is the land restrictions on Kamala Beach, which further increase the value. Private beach developments are severely restricted due to Crown ownership regulations, which clearly offers advantages.
Exclusive services and international standards
A highlight is the connection to the renowned InterContinental Phuket Resort, which is the only hotel in the group to have been awarded two Michelin keys. Here, residents gain access to premium services such as Michelin star restaurants and first-class spa offerings. Foreign buyers have the option of purchasing a 10-year government visa or a Thailand Privilege Card (Elite Visa) starting at around 5 million baht to extend their residency rights. However, the legal environment stipulates that short-term rentals of less than 30 days are prohibited. Still, there is a thriving market for three- to six-month rentals, particularly attracting digital nomads, according to Bangkok Post.
To stand out, PROUD Real Estate, which is driving the project, has received the Fitwel Built Certification in the Multifamily Residential category, thereby taking a pioneering role in the Thai real estate sector. This certification is not only awarded for the designed ideas, but also applies to ongoing standards. Projects can seek recertification within three years, with various criteria checked to maintain high standards, according to information from Fitwel.
Sustainability and health in focus
PROUD's philosophy is to live holistically and sustainably - under the motto "ALL IS WELL". Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop, the director of PROUD, highlights the health benefits of Fitwel certification and explains that it also significantly improves the quality of life of residents. In addition, PROUD trains internal teams to become Fitwel ambassadors to actively maintain wellness standards. In collaboration with Bangkok Hospital, emergency training is provided to all residents to ensure safety during their stay.
Overall, it is clear that a living culture is emerging in Hua Hin that not only values luxurious comfort, but also health and well-being. Offerings such as wellness-focused activities and regular project tours demonstrate PROUD's commitment to supporting residents in their pursuit of a balanced lifestyle.
