The northern half of the district sits under a single masterplan: the MontAzure consortium acquired 72 hectares running from the hills down to the beach and is building it out as a resort with hotels, residences, retail and a wellness quarter. The price per sqm here moves with one specific construction programme that has an owner and a completion date, rather than with the general market mood.

What you can buy in Kamala, and at what price
Apartments and penthouses
The bulk of supply comes from new condominiums completing between 2026 and 2028. Entry starts at around 4.1 million THB for a one-bedroom unit from 30 sqm (323 sq ft), with formats running up to 120 sqm (1,292 sq ft) and on to penthouses. Schemes are handed over finished and furnished, and the instalment plan runs to the end of construction.
Townhouses and compact villas
The format that makes the district affordable. Houses of 130-190 sqm (1,399-2,045 sq ft) in the hills sell for 11.5-13.5 million THB, and premium lots in the same series at 220 sqm (2,368 sq ft) are priced at around 17.9 million.
Villas
The upper segment. A four-bedroom house of 548 sqm (5,899 sq ft) costs around 33 million THB, branded villas inside the resort grounds start at 53 million, and residences with three to five bedrooms and a sea panorama run from 56 to 179 million. The spread comes down to plot size, the building line and the view.
What rental yield depends on
Property in Kamala, Phuket lets to two different audiences. Condominiums in the centre work with long-term tenants who want floor area for moderate money, while residences under hotel management earn from high-season visitors and share the revenue with the operator.
We do not promise guaranteed percentages. Instead we will send you a calculation for the option you have chosen: the terms of the agreement with the managing agent, seasonality, the operator’s commission and the owner’s costs.
How a foreign buyer purchases property in Kamala
An apartment in a condominium is registered either as Freehold, full ownership under Thai law, within the building’s 49% foreign quota, or as Leasehold, a registered long lease of up to 30 years. Villas and townhouses use separate structures, leasehold among them, and we will go through the options in detail at the consultation.
The money arrives from abroad in foreign currency into the developer’s or the buyer’s account, after which the bank issues an FET certificate. Without it freehold will not be registered, and we set out the mechanics of the transfer in a separate blog article. The purchase itself grants no right to stay long term: that is a matter for the visa programmes, and we wrote about the investment visa in this article.
What to check before the deal
✓ The land title: Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) with precise boundaries
✓ The developer in the DBD register, and the schemes it has already completed
✓ The construction permit and an approved EIA for projects near the sea
✓ The foreign quota still available in that particular building
✓ The agreement with the hotel operator: revenue, and the number of nights kept for the owner
How the transaction works
Reservation of the property with a deposit from ฿100,000, legal due diligence on the title and the permits, a sale and purchase agreement with a payment schedule, the transfer of funds from abroad with the FET issued, registration at the Land Department and handover.
Why buyers choose KVARIS
We run the transaction end to end: selection against your goal and budget, checks on the developer through the public registers, legal support, help with transferring the money, and handover of the property to the managing agent. We work directly with developers in the district, and the team speaks eight languages.
Tell us your budget and what you want from the purchase, and we will put a shortlist together.
