Riviera Malibu Pattaya — new project overview on Pratumnak
Riviera Malibu: new vertical resort on Pratumnak — what it offers, prices, and who it’s for
Riviera Malibu is the latest project by Riviera Group, quietly entering the market but with the same ambitious vision as Riviera Jomtien, Riviera Monaco, and Riviera Wongamat. This isn’t just a high-rise — it’s a “city within a building”: rooftop pools, panoramic gyms, club spaces, and architecture designed for units with views.
The development is located on Pratumnak Hill, a rare area combining tranquility and proximity to the main attractions of Pattaya.
In this article, we’ll explore Riviera Malibu in 2025: current prices, potential rental income, who it’s suitable for, and why investors should keep an eye on it.
Location: why Pratumnak matters
Pratumnak is one of Pattaya’s quieter districts. European expats, families, and long-stay residents value walkable routes, peace, and beach access. The area sits between the city center and Jomtien, allowing easy transport to both.
Riviera Malibu is located along Pratumnak Soi 5.
On foot:
— to the beach — 8–10 minutes;
— to the local market — 5 minutes;
— to nearby cafés — 3 minutes.
Daily living costs (2025 estimates):
— to Thappraya Road — 4 minutes;
— to Tukcom — 10 minutes;
— to the night market — 7 minutes;
— to Walking Street — 6–8 minutes.
The hill location adds value through panoramic views, boosting the project’s liquidity — especially for rentals.

Project concept
Riviera Group consistently delivers premium high-rises. Riviera Malibu features 29 floors, 279 units, full glass façades, smart home systems, and an emphasis on view apartments.
Architecturally, it’s similar to Riviera Monaco: minimalism, verticality, and abundant glazing.
The core idea is a “vertical resort”: residents can live, work, and relax without leaving the building.

Investor case
A foreign investor from Saint Petersburg entered Riviera Monaco at the pre-construction stage and received +38% capital appreciation by handover. He’s now considering two one-bedroom units in Riviera Malibu on mid-level floors.
Rationale:
“Riviera projects don’t fail. Pratumnak has low competition, and demand for quality condos is high.”
Strategy: rent for 3–4 years, then sell when demand peaks — a reliable approach for this area.
