Sea-view villas, penthouses and branded residences on the Andaman Sea
Phuket is an island on the Andaman Sea with its own international airport and long sandy beaches down the west coast. Homes range from hillside villas above Surin and Kamala to beachfront houses and sea-view condos around Bang Tao, with a few large properties on Cape Yamu on the quieter east side. It suits families and second-home owners who want beach life with schools, marinas and golf nearby.
Phuket, Thailand's largest island, is joined to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge. The west coast holds the beaches, from Mai Khao through Bang Tao and Kamala to Patong, Kata and Nai Harn. The east coast faces Phang Nga Bay, with mangroves and marinas. Hillsides carry pool villas, condominium blocks are built low, and Phuket Town keeps its Sino-Portuguese shophouses.
Among Thai resort markets Phuket is generally the most expensive, above Koh Samui, Hua Hin and Pattaya. The coast from Layan through Surin to the Kamala headland costs most, then the hills above Kata and Nai Harn. Sea view, a walk to the sand and hotel management raise prices. Kathu, Phuket Town, Chalong and inland Thalang cost less.
Families wanting an international school and a beach within one drive do well here, as do second-home owners in the dry months, sailors, golfers and remote workers. It suits less those who want a walkable city: there is no rail, traffic is heavy, and the west-coast sea is rough from about May to October.
Bangkok is about an hour and a half by air. By car the airport, in the north, is about 30 minutes from Bang Tao, 45 to 50 from Patong or Phuket Town and over an hour from Rawai. The main private hospitals are beside Phuket Town; British International School is in Koh Kaew, UWC Thailand in Thalang.
