Buy a villa in Phuket
104 villas in 7 developments, from ฿5 460 000 to ฿111 300 000, median ฿27 500 000. Every one has a private pool and is sold in a freehold structure.
What you are actually buying
A foreigner cannot hold land in their own name in Thailand, so a villa purchase is always a structure, not a simple deed. The two legal routes are a registered 30+30+30 year lease on the land, or a Thai company that holds the land while the building itself stays in your name. Both are standard and both are what the developers here use — the difference shows up on resale and inheritance, which is why we go through it before you pay a deposit. Our freehold vs leasehold guide has the full comparison.
Price per square metre tells the real story
Villas here run ฿67,800–150,100 per m² against ฿89,000–255,800 for condos. Villas look far more expensive in total — median ฿27 500 000 versus ฿9.7M for a condo — but you are buying land and 211–816 m² of built area, not a premium per metre. That inversion is the single most useful number when comparing a villa against a large penthouse.
Layouts and yield
The stock splits into 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom-plus houses; there are no small villas in new Phuket construction, because plot economics do not work below roughly 200 m². For rental, villas earn a much higher nightly rate than condos but sit empty more often — plan for seasonal occupancy, not the year-round flow a compact condo gets.
