Jumeirah's private island in Phuket aims for 2009 completion

Jumeirah Private Island Phuket, one of Asia Pacific's most exclusive developments, is scheduled for completion in 2009. Having been designed according to top international specifications, the fully-inclusive marina is being built in a protected lagoon on the east coast of the island, and is to offer a range of top-notch facilities that will include 101 large berths capable of accommodating super yachts of up to 70m with 24-hour security, electronic surveillance and fully lit walkways.

The luxury project will also be home to an elite mega yacht marina and the invitation-only Jumeirah Private Island Yacht Club, which will feature a state-of-the-art clubhouse with luxury accommodation, spa, gym and restaurants and will be host to regular regattas and exclusive Black Tie functions.
