Buy property in Kamala, Phuket

Buyers choose Kamala for the calm it keeps within reach of Phuket’s busiest places: Patong lies 10 km away, Surin begins to the north beyond the hill pass, and Kamala itself stays quiet.

The beach runs for 2 km, and the water is shallow and clear through the high season. The range on offer is wider here than in the districts either side: from hillside townhouses at 11.5 million THB to villas with a panorama at 179 million.

Why buyers choose property in Kamala

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.

✓ A 2 km beach, soft pale sand, casuarinas and coconut palms along the shore

✓ MontAzure: 178 acres (72 ha) from the hills to the water, around 250 metres of beachfront

✓ The developers behind the project: Narai Group, Arch Capital and Philean Capital

✓ Cafe del Mar, one of the best-known beach clubs on Phuket, and 333 At The Beach

✓ Five-star hotels: InterContinental Phuket Resort, Twinpalms MontAzure, Hyatt Regency, Novotel

✓ Millionaire’s Mile on the cliffs to the south, looking over Patong Bay, and the Paresa resort

✓ The Phuket FantaSea and Carnival Magic show parks, Big C and Tops supermarkets

✓ Most developments sit 300-800 metres from the water, a walk of 5 to 10 minutes

✓ Patong 10 km away, Surin to the north, the airport 24 km, Phuket Town 22 km

Zones within the district

Central Kamala

✓ Mosque, market, cafes and a school within the same radius, and life goes on all year

✓ Condominiums with generous floor areas and rents that stay reasonable

✓ Buyers take apartments for their own use and for long-term letting

The hills and Millionaire’s Mile

✓ Elevation, a panorama over the bay, development that is sparse and expensive

✓ Further inland, townhouses and compact villas come to market

✓ Buyers take view villas here, and townhouses as the way into the market

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.

Questions and answers

01

How much does an apartment in Kamala cost?

A one-bedroom unit in a new scheme starts at around 4.1 million THB, floor areas reach 120 sqm (1,292 sq ft), and penthouses are sold separately. The budget shifts with the building line, the view and whether a hotel operator is involved.

02

How much does a villa or a townhouse in Kamala cost?

The widest range on the west coast: a 130 sqm (1,399 sq ft) townhouse in the hills at around 11.5 million THB, a four-bedroom villa of 548 sqm (5,899 sq ft) at around 33 million, and houses with a sea panorama up to 179 million. Plot size, elevation, the view and the distance to the beach decide the figure.

03

How do I transfer the purchase money from abroad?

The payment arrives in foreign currency from any country, and the Thai bank issues an FET certificate (Thor Tor 3); without it full ownership will not be registered. A detailed breakdown of the payment routes is set out in our blog article.

04

What instalment plans do developers offer?

The schedule runs to the end of construction: reservation, first instalment, then payments tied to construction milestones. Paying 100% usually carries a discount, and its size depends on the scheme and the stage of sales. For villas the payments are tied to the stages of work on the plot.

05

What does the MontAzure masterplan give an owner?

The northern section is being built to a single plan, so the beach club, the hotels and the retail quarter arrive on schedule and serve everyone living nearby. The owner gets a predictable setting and a clear reason for the price to rise. The other side of it: while the work continues, part of the area remains a building site.

06

How awkward is getting in and out of Kamala?

One main road serves the district, and the route to Patong winds over the hill pass. Set against that, the airport is 24 km away, closer than it is from Kata or Karon. Queues build at the exit in high season, while traffic inside the district stays calm.

07

How does Kamala differ from Bang Tao and Patong?

In feel Kamala is closer to Bang Tao, but the beach is shorter, the development is simpler and the price per sqm is lower, which is why the district is often treated as the way into the west coast. Patong lives on nightlife and tourist flow, Bang Tao on schools and premium infrastructure, and Kamala combines quiet, five-star hotels and a growing construction pipeline.
