THE Explorer is making its mark as Phuket's first ever development fusing retail and residential units in one of the island's most affluent areas.
It's located at the entrance to the prestigious Laguna Phuket destination resort, home to seven five-star and four-star brands, including the Banyan Tree and the Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket.
The Explorer will be bringing together exclusive retail brands alongside stunning sea-view residences.
Discover decadent designs, world-class brands and the finest foods at The Explorer Plaza. Escape Phuket's rays with an iced latte in the cool surroundings of this retail gem.
Phuket residents will delight in the opportunity to shop locally for a chilled bottle of white or some fresh olives without having to travel far. On site parking, walkways and multiple storey outlets offer a long-waited retail respite in this area.
The Explorer now invites brands to join them at this prime location to fulfill the shopping needs of those seeking quality retail in a locale already home to discerning guests and residents.
Explore Residential. Sea-view condominiums located on one of Phuket's last remaining prime spots with breathtaking views over Bang Tao beach.
Enjoy the same spectacular sunsets viewed by Laguna Phuket resort guests, where vivid reds light up the sky over the Andaman.
For those seeking something more spacious, a pool villa could fit the bill, single-storey villas with two bedrooms or double-storey villas featuring three bedrooms, and both with parking and maid's quarters.
The spectacular double-storey residences host a magnificent master bedroom and Jacuzzi on the second floor while penthouse condominiums boast roof pools. An on-site clubhouse will take care of residents' leisure needs.
The complex will enjoy high traffic from guests staying at the Laguna Phuket resorts and other exclusive hotels located in the nearby Surin vicinity, supported by the large number of expatriate and local residents living in this area.
The Explorer comprises 31 plaza (retail) units, 78 villas and 156 condominiums. All plaza units are currently under construction with completion scheduled for July 2011. First phase completion of the residential units is scheduled for July 2012.
Plaza units are now available from 15 million baht and The Explorer welcomes those seeking a retail spot in one of Phuket's most premium areas to contact sole agent, SEA Property International.
Love the bit about not having to travel far for wine in Laguna. Please come on, we already have two, yes two, specialist wine shops in this area.
Is everybody, banks and builder alike, BLIND and thick ?
I think this place will be another white elephant to chalk up to unwise investment and building in this area.
Why don't they just use up all the unused buildings in the Laguna area?
I was at another white elephant the other day, Outlet on ByPass road. What a dismal place. Only eight expats and a handful of sorry looking taxi drivers. So keep building these elephants to the money gods, they serve no purpose, only in lala land.

White elephants are viewed as a sign of good fortune in Asia, so perhaps you will be proved wrong, Robin. Market forces will determine the success of these projects. If all else fails, I notice that Cherng Talay is short on karaoke bars and motorcycle repair shops.
