Overview
City Garden Olympus is a sprawling 8-rai Mediterranean-inspired low-rise complex completed in 2022. Located in South Pattaya on Soi Ko Phai 4, it comprises six 8-story buildings—Apollo, Barcelona, Corsica, Delos, Eden, and Florence—arranged in a symmetrical inward-facing pattern. The project is designed to mimic the elegance of European coastal architecture, emphasizing cleanliness, simplicity, and vibrant energy.
The project is famous for its massive aquatic infrastructure. It features five communal swimming pools, including a centerpiece 320-meter Venetian-style canal pool that meanders through the central gardens with decorative footbridges and jacuzzi zones. It offers a "Wellness First" lifestyle with three separate fitness centers and a rooftop "Sky Gym," ensuring residents have ample space for health and recreation within a private gated community.
