Why Buy a Hotel in Phuket?
Strong Tourism Demand
Phuket is one of the most visited destinations in Southeast Asia, attracting over 10 million tourists annually. The island’s popularity with international travelers, especially from Europe, China, Russia, and Australia, drives consistent demand for accommodation across all categories.
Resilient Market Recovery
Following the global slowdown, Phuket has seen a strong rebound in both tourist arrivals and hotel occupancy rates. With the Thai government investing heavily in infrastructure and promotion, long-term prospects remain extremely strong.
Diverse Property Options
Phuket has a wide selection of hotels for sale, from small guesthouses in Patong to luxury resorts in Laguna, Bang Tao, Kata, and Kamala. Buyers can choose between turnkey operations, renovation projects, or land with hotel licenses in place.
High ROI Potential
Phuket hotels offer strong rental yields, especially in high-demand areas. With savvy management, upgrades, or rebranding, buyers can dramatically increase both income and resale value.
Lifestyle and Business Combined
Owning a hotel in Phuket allows you to blend investment with lifestyle. Many buyers choose to reside on-site or nearby, enjoying island life while running a profitable business.

What to Consider Before Buying a Hotel in Phuket
- Hotel Licensing: Ensure the property has the correct hotel license, fire safety certificates, and legal zoning.
- Company Structure: Foreign ownership of land is restricted, but hotel businesses can be acquired via the BOI (Board of Investment) or a Thai company with correct legal structuring. Foreigners must realise that nominee shareholders in Thailand are illegal.
- Due Diligence: Financial statements, employee contracts, guest review history, and property inspections are critical.
- Management Options: Some buyers prefer to manage independently, while others retain professional hotel management companies.
Phuket Condo Market Trends 2025
Independent research and verified data by Thai Residential’s Phuket Market Analysis Team.
Phuket’s condominium sector remains one of Thailand’s strongest in 2025, with international demand rising and foreign-freehold units continuing to outperform. Strong legal clarity, transparent title control, and tightening scrutiny of villa company structures are all pushing higher-quality buyers toward compliant condominium ownership.
As noted by Thai Residential in our regular Window on Phuket feature, Is it Time for Developers to Rethink Their Current Model?, it may now be time for developers to adapt their approach by prioritising compliance-driven design and strengthening buyer confidence, over pure speculation.
Recent consultant research shows condo prices up 12-15% year-on-year, with prime west-coast projects achieving significantly higher uplift. Demand remains strongest in Rawai, Nai Harn, Bang Tao, Surin, Kata, and Kamala, where branded or well-positioned developments continue to sell their foreign-freehold allocations fastest.
Did You Know?
Foreign-freehold condominiums in Phuket have outperformed almost every other Thai resort market for capital growth over the past five years, a trend driven by legal certainty, international demand, and the scarcity of developable west-coast land on the island.
