About the developer

What does it specialise in? Boutique, design-led pool-villa communities with a strong master-plan and lifestyle theme — for example a sports-and-lake community — in the central-south.
Where does it build? Chalong, around lakeside and mountain-view plots near everyday amenities.
Track record and quality. Larimar Villas — Athena's first Phuket development — completed in 2025 (35 villas over two phases, 8-rai first phase), followed by the low-density Larimar Vista (11 villas). A short but delivered record.
