Thailand's coastal city of Hua Hin has added a new landmark to its skyline with VEHHA Hua Hin, the tallest residential tower in the area. Developed by Proud Real Estate Plc, this Fitwel-certified luxury project offers panoramic ocean views, a wealth of hotel-style services, and a lifestyle rooted in wellness and convenience — all now available through limited-time discounts, starting at around USD 118,000.
Standing 31 floors high, VEHHA Hua Hin is more than just another high-rise. It has been carefully designed with 364 fully furnished units, available in 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom plus, and penthouse layouts. Every residence enjoys sweeping sea views, thanks to single corridor planning, natural light, and privacy-focused design.
Recognised under the Fitwel Design Certification, the development promotes health, sustainability, and mindful living. As Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Real Estate, puts it, “Every element of VEHHA Hua Hin—from its design to the services—reflects our brand belief: ALL IS WELL. We are committed to building homes that improve everyday life in every possible way.”
Residents here enjoy exclusive access to Holiday Inn Resort VANA NAVA Hua Hin amenities and services, such as private catering, room service, housekeeping, and a complimentary three-year pass to the VANA NAVA Water Jungle, one of Thailand’s top water parks. Wellness also plays a key role, with curated health programs from trusted medical and fitness partners.
VEHHA Hua Hin's location in Nong Kae places it just 700 meters from the beach, close to the train station, and within five minutes of Hua Hin’s downtown attractions. This makes it ideal for digital nomads, retirees, families, and second-home seekers looking for a calm yet connected life.
Several large infrastructure upgrades are also making Hua Hin even more accessible:
Highway 35 (M35) upgrade will reduce travel from Bangkok to just one hour.
New dual-track railway already shortens train journeys.
High-speed rail is under progress for quicker city-to-sea access.
Hua Hin Airport is expanding to meet international standards by 2026.
The Thailand Riviera Project, a 950 km coastal road, is boosting tourism and real estate value across 12 provinces.
Hua Hin’s timeless charm — from its beaches to heritage spots — combined with smart urban growth has made it a prime spot for long-term investment. With limited land available in beachfront zones, vertical developments like VEHHA Hua Hin are in high demand.
The real estate market in Hua Hin has been growing steadily, with 5 to 7 percent annual growth. Reports from Colliers Thailand show that 76% of launched high-rise units in the region were sold by end of 2024. While most local projects attract 85% Thai buyers, VEHHA Hua Hin has seen nearly 50% of its sales from international buyers, particularly from the US and Europe — a strong indicator of global appeal.
Rental returns are also promising, with VEHHA Hua Hin expected to deliver annual yields of 5.5 to 6 percent, supported by its premium features, strategic location, and award-winning design.
Looking ahead, Ms. Proudputh sees Hua Hin becoming an even stronger global destination. “Hua Hin is more than a coastal town; it's a lifestyle. With its mix of natural beauty, modern comforts, and wellness living, it’s truly a destination of the future.”
As land scarcity continues and infrastructure strengthens, VEHHA Hua Hin stands out as a rare opportunity for those who want more than just a home — a well-balanced life by the sea.

The Government of Ras Al Khaimah has announced the appointment of Phillipa Harrison as the new Chief Executive Officer of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA).
Harrison, who previously served as Managing Director of Tourism Australia, brings with her decades of experience in shaping international tourism strategies across Australia and other global markets. In her new role, she will drive the Emirate’s ambitious vision to become the “Destination of the Future.”
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saud Al Qasimi, Chairman of RAKTDA’s Executive Committee, expressed confidence in the appointment. He said, “Tourism is at the heart of Ras Al Khaimah’s strategy, it is our fastest-growing sector and we’ve achieved remarkable milestones in a short period of time. Ms. Harrison brings with her a depth of knowledge and leadership experience, most recently with Tourism Australia, that gives us confidence in her ability to align with Ras Al Khaimah’s ambitious goals and strategic targets in the tourism sector.”
Sharing her thoughts, Harrison said, “I’m honored to join at such an exciting time. Ras Al Khaimah has already established itself as an international success story, and I look forward to unlocking even more growth in the years ahead.”
Her leadership comes at a time when Ras Al Khaimah is recording strong growth in tourism, with over 650,000 visitors in the first half of 2025. The Emirate is now working toward achieving its target of welcoming more than 3.5 million visitors annually by 2030, further strengthening its position as a leading sustainable tourism destination.
InterGlobe Enterprises’ boutique hospitality brand Miiro has announced the opening of its fifth hotel in Europe, Miiro Palais Rudolf in Vienna, Austria, scheduled for December 2025. The expansion reinforces Miiro’s rapid growth in Europe, following the successful launch of hotels in Paris, Barcelona, Gstaad, and London.
Located on a tranquil square overlooking Rudolfspark in Vienna’s Old Town, Palais Rudolf blends seamlessly into the historic neighborhood, just steps away from the Vienna State Opera, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and Hofburg Palace. The 64-room townhouse-style property offers a timeless retreat, combining warm tones, vintage-inspired design, and antiques sourced from Vienna’s cultural heritage.
Guests can enjoy Miiro’s signature lifestyle touch with a light-filled Italian restaurant, an atmospheric bar, a state-of-the-art gym, and the brand’s unique Refresh Room. The dining spaces are designed to welcome locals and travelers alike, offering a rhythm that flows from morning coffee to late-night cocktails.
Neena Gupta, CEO of Miiro and Executive Director of Group Strategy & International Hospitality at InterGlobe Enterprises, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Miiro Palais Rudolf, marking our fifth hotel opening in just 16 months. Following successful openings in Paris, Barcelona, Gstaad, and London, this launch highlights our focus on bringing the brand's promise of ‘Brilliantly Considered Stays’ to new markets. We look forward to welcoming guests in Vienna this December.”
To mark its debut, Palais Rudolf is offering 20% off the best available rate, plus €30 credit for on-site experiences. Reservations are open on the official website.
The launch reflects InterGlobe’s continued strategy of curating immersive, culture-driven stays that connect travelers with local communities. Miiro already operates hotels in Paris, Barcelona, London, and Gstaad, with new projects underway, including a second Vienna property in Spittelberg slated for 2026.

Ras Al Khaimah is rapidly cementing its position as one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing real estate markets in the United Arab Emirates. Driven by the forward-looking vision of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, the Emirate is undergoing a remarkable transformation anchored in sustainability, community well-being and smart urban planning.
In the last three years, property sales and prices in the Emirate have surged, propelled by major hospitality, residential and commercial developments. With the population expected to rise from 0.4 million to 0.65 million by 2030, demand for an estimated 45,000 additional homes is on the horizon. This growth has attracted both global developers such as Emaar, Aldar and Ellington and local leaders including Marjan, Al Hamra and RAK Properties.
Al Marjan Island has emerged as a flagship destination in this transformation. Under the leadership of CEO Eng. Abdullah Al Abdooli, it is welcoming iconic luxury brands including Wynn, JW Marriott, Nobu, Missoni and The Address. Further expanding Ras Al Khaimah’s commercial ecosystem, Marjan is developing RAK Central, set to become one of the Northern Emirates’ largest business districts, with Grade-A offices and sustainable infrastructure.
Al Hamra, led by CEO Benoy Kurien, continues to shape community living with Al Hamra Village’s 4,000+ homes, golf course and vibrant community. The group is also spearheading projects such as Waldorf Astoria Residences, Falcon Island, Al Hamra Waterfront and Manar Mall, the Emirate’s most popular retail hub.
RAK Properties, through its landmark Mina development, is redefining the Emirate’s shoreline. Already hosting world-class resorts like Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah and InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah, it is gearing up to welcome Nikki Beach, Staybridge Suites and a Four Seasons. Commenting on this momentum, Chairman Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Zaabi said, “We are creating a vibrant, sustainable environment that is attracting global investment while maintaining the unique culture and natural heritage of our Emirate.” CEO Sameh Muhtadi added, “We are witnessing unprecedented global interest and this momentum will only continue.”
Supporting this real estate boom is Ras Al Khaimah’s strong infrastructure: eight hospitals including RAK Hospital, a modern education ecosystem, and its ranking among the world’s safest places. Tourism further strengthens the Emirate’s appeal, with 1.28 million visitors in 2024 enjoying attractions like Jais Flight, the world’s longest zipline and the UAE’s highest-altitude restaurant, 1484 by Puro.
At the heart of it all lies Ras Al Khaimah’s 2030 Vision, a people-first development strategy focused on sustainability, inclusivity and global competitiveness. With its rising skyline, thriving communities and investor-friendly ecosystem, the Emirate is emerging as a benchmark for urban growth, lifestyle innovation and long-term prosperity.
