The first enclaves of quiet luxury began emerging along Phuket’s west coast more than four decades ago. Since then, new developments on these coveted shores have regularly drawn the attention of international architecture and property awards. Competition has only intensified over the years – and today, standing out requires something genuinely distinctive.

At the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2026–2027, Sole Mio Residences secured three national-level honours. The development was recognised among Thailand’s best for architecture, apartment/condominium development, and developer website.

Architecture – Multiple Residence Award

Sole Mio Residences was conceived as a white cruise liner gliding toward the Andaman sunset. The development alliance of Railand and Phuket Asialand set out to create more than just another luxury residential complex in Bang Tao – they aimed to design a landmark in its own right. The result is unmistakable.

Yet the striking architectural silhouette is only the beginning. The interiors continue the narrative of an ocean voyage, with design details subtly inspired by the aesthetics of superyachts and the understated elegance of private cruising. Here, the maritime theme is more than visual inspiration – it forms the very identity of Sole Mio.

Apartment / Condominium Development

With just 61 residences, Sole Mio Residences was designed as a boutique project that preserves privacy while offering spacious layouts rarely seen in today’s high-density developments.

At a time when many large projects pack hundreds of compact studios into sprawling mega-complexes, Sole Mio takes a different approach. Located just 200 metres from the sea, it is a true boutique residence, complete with its own restaurant, longevity clinic, premium services, and thoughtfully curated amenities.

The idea is simple yet compelling: the comfort of a private villa combined with the convenience of condominium living – all within a single address.

Developer Website

The award for Best Developer Website adds a contemporary dimension to the project’s accolades. Today’s buyers expect comfort not only in the homes they choose but also in the way they discover them.

Sole Mio Residences embraces the philosophy that seeing is believing – and this striking white architectural landmark in Bang Tao certainly offers plenty to explore.

Each year, the jury of the Asia Pacific Property Awards evaluates hundreds of developments across Thailand. Recognition for Sole Mio reflects Phuket’s growing stature on the international property stage.

Previous winners include Banyan Tree, Sansiri and Habitat, and Sole Mio now joins that distinguished circle.
