Phuket: The best residential areas for expats and real estate investors!

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, is attracting more and more expats. With its stunning beaches, year-round tropical climate and a wallet-friendly lifestyle, it's no wonder more and more people are seeking their fortune here. Chiang Rai Times takes a look at the island's best residential areas and the properties that represent a golden opportunity here.

Especially in the south of Phuket, idyllic places such as Nai Harn and Rawai await explorers. These regions are not only quiet but also authentic and offer a wonderful coastal atmosphere. Long-term expats and retirees find their place here, away from hectic tourism. A lot of emphasis is placed on wellness and relaxing activities here. A scooter is often essential for exploring the surrounding area.

Those who prefer luxury should take a look at the northwest, particularly Bang Tao, Cherng Talay and Laguna. These areas are a magnet for families and real estate investors. Attractive resorts, international schools and beach clubs ensure that rental yields here are constantly increasing. The continuous improvements to the infrastructure support the thriving real estate business.

Cultural diversity in Phuket Town

For those who appreciate vibrant city life, Phuket Town is the perfect choice. With a reasonable cost of living, historic charm and lively markets, it attracts culture-loving expats who don't need direct beach access. There is always something to discover here, and the variety of restaurants and shops is impressive.

For those who value privacy and spectacular views, Kamala and Surin on the West Coast are a top choice. These places are known for their elegant residential complexes and relaxed atmosphere. Kata and Karon beaches also offer a balance of lively energy and quiet retreats - ideal for families, although they can get busy in high season.

Real estate investments and sustainable projects

The real estate market in Phuket is booming, not least due to the recovery of the tourism sector and growing interest from expats. More and more developers are embracing environmentally conscious and wellness-focused projects, a trend driven by Sunny Development Group. This group has made a name for itself with well-thought-out developments that promise both comfort and increased value.

An outstanding example is the Sunny Moon Thailand project in Nai Harn. 297 apartments in different sizes from 33.5 to 192 m² are being built here. Amenities range from an Ayurvedic wellness center to a rooftop pool, a gym and a restaurant. Just 700 meters from the beach and approximately 30 km from the airport, this project is an excellent choice for investors.

In summary, Phuket has something to offer for everyone - from tranquil retreats to luxurious condominiums to culturally rich urban environments. The high quality of life with a wide range of healthcare and educational facilities makes the island particularly attractive. The real estate market should also not be underestimated, with strong demand for sustainably designed residential projects. With its carefully planned projects, the Sunny Development Group shows that both investments and well-being can be perfectly combined here.
