Phuket: Highly popular! Real estate market delights investors in 2025

Changing buyer structures and rising prices
An interesting trend is that Thai buyers are becoming more important. They have overtaken Russian buyers as the largest group of buyers. Indian investors are also increasingly active in the market, which diversifies the buyer landscape. These developments continue to drive demand for properties in the mid to high price segment (7-10 million baht).
Price trends in Phuket show that the market has stabilized since the declines during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the period from 2020 to 2022, the price fell by 10-15%, but now it has reached new highs. Luxury villas on the west coast, costing between 15 and 50 million THB (400,000 - 1,300,000 EUR), remain very popular. Condominium projects near the beach are also in demand, ranging from 8 to 25 million THB (210,000 - 650,000 EUR).
Top locations for investors
Investors should pay particular attention to the location of Bang Tao and Laguna Phuket. These regions offer high demand for luxury villas and good rentability. Surin and Kamala are characterized by exclusivity, while Rawai and Nai Harn score with cheaper prices and an authentic flair. Phuket Town, on the other hand, is developing into a cultural center with rising property prices.
