 Thailand's Montara Hospitality Group has unveiled 
			  plans to develop a comprehensive health and wellness residential 
			  community in Phuket, Thailand. Scheduled for completion in 2022, Montara is 
			  investing over THB 6,600 million (USD 220 million) in the 
			  development of Tri Vananda, which they say will be one of Asia’s largest and most 
			  comprehensive wellness residential communities. Tri Vananda will feature 298 villas, anchored by a 
			  wellness resort specializing in integrative and functional 
			  medicine and cognitive wellbeing, in a sprawling hillside setting 
			  dotted with lakes and gardens 20 minutes from Phuket International 
			  Airport. Tri Vananda's health center 
			  will offer consultation rooms, physiotherapy and TCM treatment 
			  rooms, a cognitive health center, and facilities for health 
			  diagnostics aimed at treating residents and guests with tailored 
			  programs.   A mindfulness center on the lake will have an indoor 
			  hall and outdoor areas for meditation. Also situated on the lake 
			  will be a spa with thermal rooms, relaxation areas, a hammam, private spa suites, and a fitness center with a 
			  50-meter swimming pool, gym, sauna, juice bar and lake pier for 
			  recreational water sports. Finally, a dedicated club designed for 
			  children will help to foster a wellness-led lifestyle for 
			  younger community members. Two and three-bedroom solar-powered residential 
			  villas ranging in size from 270 square meters to 750 square meters 
			  have been designed by Habita Architects, renowned for their 
			  nature-focused work, together with Arsom Silp Institute of the 
			  Arts.  The teams in both firms are led by National Artists and 
			  UNESCO-recognised architects. Interior design will be helmed by 
			  the award-winning P49 Deesign. “With the future in mind, Tri Vananda will be a 
			  multigenerational community rooted in a way of life based on the 
			  principles of wellness, sustainability and hospitality. Here, our 
			  residents and guests will enjoy some of the most fundamental and 
			  cherished attributes for overall wellbeing like clean air and 
			  nature, which are increasingly lost in urban settings, while 
			  having access to proven health and wellness therapies and 
			  programs,” said Montara's CEO, Kittisak Pattamasaevi. Villa sales start in July 2020.
