Trisara

Trisara occupies about forty acres of wooded hillside on the northwest coast of Phuket, above Nai Thon, with something near two thousand metres of coast below it. GFAB Architects terraced the villas down the slope and kept the existing hillside vegetation rather than clearing it, so the buildings sit in what was already there. Fifteen minutes from the airport and a long way from Patong, the estate is one of the few pieces of this coast that was not built out. Every villa has its own pool, which was unusual in Phuket when the house opened in 2004 and set the density.

The second holding is the interesting one. Pru Jampa, the farm that supplies the kitchens, runs to about ninety-six acres inland — more than twice the resort's own ground, held as a separate parcel. Inside the forty acres stand thirty-nine hotel villas and suites and around twenty-five to thirty privately owned residences, so the estate carries owners as well as guests. Montara Hospitality, a family Thai company, owns and runs it. Thai law bars foreign freehold, and the residences are reported to be held on long leases through holding companies.

More farm than resort. Ninety-six acres of growing ground against forty of hillside. The estate's larger half is inland, invisible from any villa, and exists to feed the smaller half.

Leasehold, not freehold. Thailand does not sell land to foreigners. What the owners inside this estate hold is a long lease through a company, which is a different answer to the collection's question than a deed.

• Operator material - Pru Jampa, the estate's organic farm, is given at ninety-six acres and supplies the restaurants; architecture by GFAB Architects, built into the existing hillside vegetation
• Residences are reported to be held on long leasehold through offshore holding companies, Thai law barring foreign freehold; the structure is not published by the operator. The description of a private beach should be read against Thai law, which makes the shore public. Both to be confirmed.
