Phuket condos near the beach: the published projects of our directory with a verified beach nearby, how calm that beach is through the year, and the asking prices we have seen

41 of the 51 published projects in our directory name a beach nearby on their card — a beach we checked on the map, not a sales claim. Below they stand by beach: 12 beaches, with how many months of the year each beach is calm by the lower estimate of our wave model (January 2017 – September 2026) and the asking prices we have seen for each project between 19 April 2026 and 28 October 2026. We do not verify sea views, beachfront position or walking distances: the card names the nearest checked beach and nothing more.

Can a foreigner own one of these condos?

Yes, a condominium unit: a foreigner can be its registered owner under the Condominium Act. The buyer must fall into one of the categories of Section 19 — the one open to any foreign buyer is bringing the purchase money into Thailand in foreign currency — and all foreign owners together may hold no more than 49% of the total floor area of all units in the building (Section 19 bis). At the transfer, the Land Office checks both the foreign share of the building and the evidence of the money transfer. Land is a different matter: foreigners generally cannot own it, and the exceptions in the law are narrow (for example a permission under Section 96 bis of the Land Code — Department of Lands), so a house or villa comes through other structures, such as a registered lease, that need a lawyer. The full answer: who qualifies, the quota, land and villas, costs and a checklist.

The full rules — the 49% quota, land, leasehold and the official fees — are on Can foreigners buy property in Phuket?.

How this page is made

• The beach of a project is the one named on its card in our directory and checked against the map (41 of 51 published projects have one). We do not measure the distance, the view or the position on the beach: ask the agent for the exact location before you decide.
• Calm sea. A day is calm when the modelled significant wave height at the beach is 0.5 m or less — open-sea NOAA WAVEWATCH III data (PacIOOS ERDDAP) scaled by the exposure of the bay; a month is calm when the lower estimate gives calm on at least 7 days in 10. Period January 2017 – September 2026. It is a model of the open sea and the shape of the bay, not of surf or currents: the lifeguard flags decide on the day.
• Prices are the asking prices seen on the Russian project cards of our directory between 19 April 2026 and 28 October 2026, in Thai baht, with no conversion; the method of the sample is on Phuket property prices.
• Nothing here is a recommendation: the page lists what the data says.
