The special project to be marketed to selected customers in the region is Soneva Kiri, envisaged as one of the world's finest resorts being developed by Six Senses in a pristine location within the Gulf of Thailand.

A Hamptons International spokesperson said the marketing agreement with Six Senses highlights the global outreach and property services competencies of the company. "With a global network of offices and experience of over 140 years addressing the needs of customers around the world, Hamptons offers a perfect fit for Six Senses. Our reach in the Middle East will offer them an ideal sounding board to explore the potential of the market here."

Lynn Villadolid, Senior Director - Six Senses Private Residences said: "Thailand offers one of the most robust and attractive property investment destinations, which will appeal to customers in the Middle East. The south east nation is also a preferred tourist destination for residents in the GCC region. Through our partnership with Hamptons, we are confident of attracting strong investments in Soneva Kiri, a truly remarkable project."

Soneva Kiri is set on 150 acres of untouched lush tropical rainforest and beach, and comprises 42 resort villas overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. There are an additional 21 Private Residences each of which is unique and designed to ensure maximum privacy and tranquility. The resort will offer the entire range of lifestyle amenities for residents.

The Hamptons spokesperson added: "As a one of its kind resort development, Soneva Kiri will offer a long term value investment for customers from the GCC region, particularly for those wanting a second or third home, serving as a perfect complement to their holiday experience. Hamptons will leverage our exclusive customer base and regional market reach to highlight the property."

Soneva Kiri's unique features are its location, the indigenous architecture and international standards of amenities – all making it a perfect holiday home. Customers can choose from two, four- and six-bedroom beach, hill or cliff villas, offering an exceptional and highly individualised lifestyle experience.
