“...For over 13 years, Sansiri has been a trailblazer in Thailand’s property development scene, particularly in Phuket, where it continues to build on its stellar reputation. Today, Sansiri introduces its latest concept, a social space in the vibrant Cherngtalay-Bangtao area, under the name Sansiri Phuket + The Society. This creative venture is designed to elevate the lifestyle experience for all, with its CONNECT + INSPIRE ethos. Here, individuals are invited to engage, connect, and build a community, reinforcing Phuket’s standing as one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations…”
One of the first aspects to catch the eye of The Society is its design. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that Sansiri’s decades-long leadership in design is on full display. This is where the magic of Edward Tuttle’s influence becomes apparent. Tuttle, one of the world’s foremost American designers, is renowned for his work with luxury hotels around the globe. His vision for The Society seamlessly integrates mid-century Spanish architecture with a touch of contemporary Thai modernism. The fusion of these styles results in a breathtaking aesthetic, creating a space that is as inviting as it is inspiring.
The reception area, for instance, is adorned with Cocoon by Louis Vuitton, an iconic piece from the exclusive Objets Nomades collection, further amplifying the luxurious yet laid-back atmosphere. Complementing this is the Lounge Chair Paire de Fauteuils by Mario Bellini, a nod to mid-century elegance, tastefully balancing sophistication with comfort.
But The Society offers more than just aesthetics, it is a multifunctional space brimming with creativity and purpose. Designed to continually inspire those who visit, the space features a host of services and boutique experiences tailored to meet every need. At its heart is the Day-to-Night Eatery, which serves up dishes crafted from the finest local ingredients sourced directly from Phuket. This is complemented by BEANS COFFEE ROASTER, where visitors can indulge in sustainably sourced, specialty-grade coffee. The beans are carefully selected from local farms across Thailand and beyond, and expertly brewed by seasoned baristas, including a Certified Q Arabica Grader. A highlight of the coffee menu is the exclusive Pineapple Splash, a creation made specifically for The Society, promising a refreshingly unique flavour.
The culinary journey continues at Vamos Spanish Tapas Bar, where guests are treated to an authentic Spanish dining experience. Helmed by a chef with over 30 years of international experience, including in the US and Hong Kong, this restaurant brings the essence of Spanish cuisine to life. The chef's accolades include the Hong Kong Tatler's Best New Restaurant Award in 2010 for Lily & Boom, and a prestigious spot in Food & Wine's Top Ten Chefs in the USA in 1998. Signature dishes like Paella Surf & Turf, featuring bomba rice, blend flavours and textures in perfect harmony, leaving diners with an unforgettable taste of Spain.
Beyond the dining and coffee experiences, The Society is a space designed for work and creativity. With co-sharing workspaces, private meeting rooms, art exhibition areas, and spaces for hosting events and workshops throughout the year, it is the perfect venue for professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs alike. Visitors can also explore model rooms of Sansiri’s latest projects in Phuket, making this a comprehensive showcase of the brand’s commitment to innovation in real estate.
Sansiri's ambition with The Society is to create a world-class lifestyle experience—a space where inspiration thrives and awaits discovery at every corner.
