Why Invest in Phuket Property?
Investors are drawn to the tropical climate, excellent infrastructure, and secure legal frameworks for foreign ownership, particularly through condominiums and foreign freehold titles.
Phuket’s property market continues to grow due to:
- High international demand – from tourists, digital nomads, retirees, and families
- Booming short-term rental market, especially in licensed developments
- No property tax on personal holdings and zero capital gains tax for individuals
- Strong ROI potential – particularly in prime or sea view areas
- Resilient expat rental demand for long-term stays (30+ days)
Branded Residences: A Secure Investment Option
For buyers prioritizing security, legal compliance, and ease of management, branded residences offer the best of both worlds. These properties are:
- Fully licensed for daily rentals (hotel licenses)
- Professionally managed with trusted global hospitality standards
- More resilient in a competitive rental market
Examples of Phuket’s trusted branded residences include:
Marriott, Banyan Tree, Radisson, Wyndham, Ramada, Rosewood, and Mövenpick.
Hotel-Licensed Condos for Short-Term Rentals
The most profitable investments often come from hotel-licensed condominiums, allowing owners to rent out their unit daily or weekly, much like a hotel. This is perfect for investors looking to capitalise on Phuket’s millions of annual tourists.
These types of properties are typically:
- Turnkey and fully furnished
- Professionally managed
- Located close to beaches or entertainment hubs
- Offering guaranteed or projected rental returns
You can explore our full portfolio of Phuket Condos for Sale including several fully licensed developments.
Long-Term Rentals: An Underestimated Opportunity
Even without a hotel license, properties rented for 30 days or longer remain fully legal and very popular among expatriates, digital nomads, retirees, and remote workers.
Well-positioned sea view villas or luxury condos in prime areas can still generate 6-10% ROI annually, especially with professional property management and modern amenities.
