Phang-Nga, Thailand: Aquella Golf & Country Club, a luxurious golf course overlooking the Andaman coastline, will welcome its first guests when it opens for preview play next month.

Developed on 1,075 rai within the Thai Muang district in Phang-Nga Province, Aquella features lavish pool villas, and an 18-hole golf course and clubhouse, boasting first class integrated leisure facilities.

Future development phases will see a five-star resort hotel and condominiums, along with other integrated residential leisure facilities, all with spectacular vistas of the pristine Thai Muang beachfront and turquoise Andaman Sea that stretches 2.5 kilometres along the property.

Measuring more than 7,000 yards from the back tees, and playing to a par of 72, championship standard, year-round conditioning will be a feature at Aquella Golf & Country Club, a Facility Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF).

Among the unique challenges awaiting members, residents and guests are charming bunker edges decorated with antique railway sleepers, mesmerising bamboo tunnels and the stunning shoreline of the Andaman Sea at the signature par-three 11th.

The course was sculpted by Pacific Coast Design (PCD), famed for some of the finest layouts in Australia and Asia.

Aquella is also graced by an elegant clubhouse. The innovative inspiration of Paradise Designs, the clubhouse is a blend of authentic wood and modern styling, finished to the highest standards.

“Adorned by a rich variety of blooms and plants, the landscape offers the pleasant and cozy atmosphere of a luxurious country club for golfers and guests to relax and rejuvenate during and after a round or a meal in the restaurant,” said a club spokesperson.

The facility boasts a fully equipped driving range with 20 undercover bays and grass tees, and a fun and challenging mini golf course, crafted by PCD, an Associate Business Member of the AGIF.

Within the clubhouse there’s a state-of-the-art gymnasium, a luxurious spa, and casual and fine dining at the Approach restaurant, overlooking the golf course.

Aquella also caters for banquets on a purpose-built function lawn and VIP meetings within high-tech conference facilities.

The Aquella development is a collaboration between Hong Kong development companies Pacific Century Premium Developments and the Lan Kwai Fong Group.

Aquella Golf & Country Club is managed and operated by Absolute Golf Services, an Associate Business Member of the AGIF.
