HONG KONG - Sudara, the highly-anticipated new resort-style residential project in the heart of Phuket’s Bangtao district, has won two important architectural titles at the A&D Awards, revealed at a glamorous PERSPECTIVE Gala Presentation ceremony overlooking Hong Kong Harbour on Thursday 20th February 2025.
The two highly prestigious honours included a Gold Award in the “Architecture – Future Developments, Residential” category for Phase 1 of Sudara, and a Certificate of Excellence in the “Architecture – Best Residential Housing” category for the Sudara Sales Gallery. These awards reflect the impressive impact Sudara has made on the residential sector in Phuket since it was first unveiled to the world; the project was previously named as the “Best Luxury Condo Development (Phuket)” in last year’s Property Guru Thailand Property Awards.
“We are delighted to win these two A&D Awards, which mark the latest in a series of accolades for Sudara and demonstrate how we are reshaping the landscape for residential living in Phuket. Our international design team has worked diligently to deliver an exciting concept for today’s market needs. These accomplishments highlight the development’s exceptional quality and mindful design sensibility,“ stated Dr. Allan Zeman, Chairman, Lan Kwai Fong Group.

A joint venture between Princess Villa Ltd., which has over 20 years of experience in Phuket’s hospitality and real estate sectors, along with partners including the LKF Group, this refined condominium complex is situated just 500 metres from the golden sands of Bangtao Beach, on Phuket’s sought-after sunset coast.
Sudara, which celebrated its official ground-breaking ceremony in November 2024, will feature 220 bright, spacious and stylish one- to three-bedroom residences ranging from 52 to 144 square metres, including options with private pools. Seamlessly blending elegant modern architecture with natural elements, the project embraces premium materials, finishes and furnishings to contribute to the overall aesthetic of this tropical coastal environment, whilst also incorporating sustainable design principles.
Every resident will enjoy exclusive use of the Pavilion, Sudara’s main clubhouse, which will feature outdoor pools, an alfresco lounge with cabanas, a kids’ club, fitness centre, café, yoga space, and co-working areas. The team from the ultra-luxury Andara Resort & Villas will provide their hospitality expertise, including management, maintenance and concierge services for all Sudara residents.
“These awards are a testament to excellence that the company prides itself on and reflects decades of deep-rooted experience in Phuket. Our journey has allowed us to truly understand and embrace the local culture, lifestyles, and expectations of our clients that help guide us to design spaces that resonate and create vibrant communities,” said Bill Lykouras, Design Principal, Lan Kwai Fong Group.
