Ananda Development: Phuket Developer and Projects

About Ananda Development

Aren Villas is a set of turnkey villas within Mira Valley, a master-planned community; Ananda Development has been building it since 2025. Ananda, listed on the SET, was set up in Bangkok by Chanond Ruangkritya in 1999 and is known for its Ideo and Ashton condominium brands. Mira Valley covers 550 rai in a valley beside the Kamala mountains and is valued at THB 50bn; utilities run underground, there is a network of trails, and the target is LEED for Communities certification. Patcharavalai Ruangkritya heads the Phuket office of Mira Valley, and Aren's interiors use Jim Thompson textiles.

Ananda Development reviews: what to check before buying

Check which legal entity signs the contract and who holds the land title and the building permit: projects are often run by a separate project company rather than the parent brand. For a listed company, its stock-exchange filings are also worth a look. For off-plan units, check the building permit (and the EIA for larger complexes), the stage-based payment schedule, the completion date and delay penalties, and exactly what the price includes — furniture, appliances, parking.

For completed units, check the title, that there are no maintenance arrears or encumbrances, and the annual service charge and sinking fund. Legally, a villa is usually held on a 30-year leasehold, so read the renewal terms in the contract. Online reviews help, but it is more reliable to visit the developer's completed projects: see how the finishes have aged, how the management company performs and what the real rental occupancy is. We request these documents before you reserve and go through them with you.
