The team behind Lapista Luxury Villas
Lapista Luxury Villas are ideal for both Thai and international property seekers who enjoy a harmonious experience where quality triumphs over quantity. A place where design can be expressed to the fullest, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind experience not found elsewhere in Phuket.
And while the award-winning architectural villa design of Oracle Architects is important, the management team behind Lapista has a rare blend of experience that allows it to create projects with the investors also in mind.
President Suttirat Shibahashi, Ann, built and operated the popular Samui Peninsula, a 5-star resort on Koh Samui, Quality Suites Hotel and a high-end anti-aging clinic in Bangkok. She divested from those projects in order to pursue her vision, which is to develop Lapista into a truly world-class wellness pool villa resort.
Lapista CEO Damrongsak Kiewpeng has significant experience in the fields of finance, construction, sales and property management having overseen them all for the Pool Villa 18 project in Samui and Beachfront Bliss Condominium in Phuket. Khun Damrongsak was presented with the prestigious Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Award in 2018.
Supachart Samuhatanakul, Lapista Director, has more than 30 years of experience in the hotel industry and has held executive positions at some of Thailand’s most recognisable properties, including Royal Cliff Beach in Pattaya, Phuket Yacht Club, Dusit Laguna in Phuket and the Royal Garden Resort. He most recently partnered with a group of friends to develop My Beach Resort in Phuket. Khun Supachart was one of the founders of Absolute Resorts Management and he was instrumental in the success of the Absolute brand as it built its operations in development, hospitality and real estate businesses.
The trio of leaders brings a deep understanding of the different aspects required to launch, build and operate a popular resort in Thailand. From property development to hospitality management, the team behind Lapista knows what it takes for a project to be successful over the long term.
This provides real estate investors with greater peace of mind knowing they aren’t simply buying a well-designed villa in a resort development. They are investing with a team that has the knowledge required to make that development one of Phuket’s best.
Phuket’s only world-class Wellness Centre
With health and wellness services being so important to more and more people, Lapista Luxury Villas wanted to make sure it was easily accessible to its residents and guests. It also wanted to go beyond the traditional spa setup to include a full range of options.
That is why the newly launched Wellness Centre at Lapista Lake provides a normal assortment of blissful spa treatments as well as holistic medical care services that include preventive methods rather than corrective ones. As the first and only world-class wellness centre in Phuket, Lapista Lake will become a global destination.
