Andara strengths
  • 15+ years of operating history — the resort has run since 2009, not just rendered plans
  • Managed by the team behind an operating 5-star hotel — years of proven service and upkeep
  • A full range of formats on one estate: from residences to 7-bedroom villas
  • Founder Allan Zeman, creator of Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong district — a recognizable name with a track record
Malaiwana strengths
  • Nai Thon beach is 500 meters away, a 7-minute walk — unusual for a villa format with plots this large
  • Over ten years of operating history: the first villas were built starting 2008, giving the project a track record in the long-term and holiday-rental market
  • Spacious layouts — plots up to 3,200 sq.m., living areas from ~1,000 sq.m., above the typical density of the island’s villa estates
  • Two formats in one gated estate — a private Estate villa, or a lower-maintenance duplex residence
How to decide

Andara has the lower entry: from ~$1,744,964. Malaiwana costs more, but compare price per sqm and stage — ask us for a unit-level calculation.

Both projects are completed — compare actual rental occupancy and building condition. We can arrange viewings of both in one day.

The right answer depends on your goal: budget, purpose (yield or living), horizon. Message us — we’ll compare specific units of these projects on price per sqm, views and terms, and tell you honestly which to take.
