Vibe Residence Karon — New Seaside Resort Condos on Phuket
Vibe Residence Karon: A Modern Seaside Resort with Strong Growth Potential
On Phuket’s southwest coast, a new residential development has just launched — Vibe Residence Karon.
The project immediately drew market attention: Karon Beach has seen almost no new launches in recent years, making this one a genuine event.
Located just a three-minute walk from the sea, Vibe Residence blends a rare combination for this area — proximity to the beach, contemporary design, and a full set of resort-style facilities.
Developer: Experts in Hospitality
Vibe Residence Karon is being developed by a team known for successful hotel brands such as Phoenix, Glow, and Jonox — names recognized for their stable occupancy, solid reviews, and consistent service quality.
Leveraging that hotel expertise, the developer has designed Vibe Residence as a fully managed resort-style residence, where every element — from reception to maintenance — follows professional hospitality standards.
For owners, that means a ready-made rental system, transparent management, and a clear income strategy without the usual hassle of property ownership.

Location: Karon — A Rarity on Phuket’s Map
Karon remains one of Phuket’s most scenic and balanced coastal areas.
Its three-kilometer stretch of soft sand and calm waters attracts both tourists and long-term residents. The district is lively but not crowded — the perfect middle ground between urban energy and island calm.
Vibe Residence sits only 300 meters from the beach, surrounded by cafés, local markets, and shops open year-round. In the evenings, the area comes alive with restaurants, massage studios, and small bars — always vibrant, yet never overwhelming.
With land scarcity now defining Karon, new residential developments have become exceptionally rare, making Vibe Residence a limited opportunity to own property near the sea.

Concept: Resort Living with Full Ownership
Vibe Residence Karon operates as an investment condo-resort, combining private ownership with professional hotel management.
Owners retain full freehold title while the management team handles all rental operations, maintenance, and guest services. This model — popular in leading Asian resorts — lets your apartment generate income while remaining your personal vacation home.
The complex features around 300 apartments, ranging from compact studios to spacious two-bedroom suites (up to 72 m²).
Some units offer sea or mountain views, and all interiors follow a warm, contemporary tropical style with natural tones, large windows, and high-quality finishes.

Pricing and Payment Terms
At launch, prices start from 3.4 million THB (≈ USD 92,000), with 0% installments over three years.
Presale buyers also receive a complimentary furniture and appliance package, meaning each apartment is delivered fully turnkey — furnished, equipped, and ready to rent.
For comparison:
• Studio package value — ≈ 300,000 THB
• One-bedroom — 400,000–450,000 THB
• Two-bedroom — up to 600,000 THB
Over half the units have already been sold, and prices for remaining apartments are gradually increasing as construction progresses.

Income Programs
Investors can choose between two income models:
For example, a studio priced at 3.4M THB generates about 240,000 THB per year under the guaranteed program or 360,000 THB in the open rental market — a stable 8–10% yield with minimal involvement.
- Guaranteed return — 7% annual yield for five years, above Phuket’s market average.
- Rental pool — profit-sharing based on real occupancy rates.

Investment Example
A one-bedroom unit priced at 4.8M THB (≈ USD 130,000) could produce:
• 7% guaranteed — 336,000 THB annually (≈ USD 9,000)
• Self-managed rental — up to 400,000 THB annually (≈ USD 10,800)
• Capital appreciation by completion (2028) — +30%, or about 1.4M THB
Combined, that brings an estimated 10–12% annual ROI with moderate risk.

Why This Project Stands Out
- Prime location — only 300 meters from Karon Beach, a format nearly gone from the market.
- Professional management from a seasoned hotel developer.
- Limited supply and low-density surroundings.
- Turnkey delivery — furniture and appliances included.
- Above-average rental yields and transparent ownership structure.
Karon and Phuket Market Outlook to 2030
According to ATHOME Research, Karon ranks among Phuket’s top three most stable areas.
Demand for housing here remains steady year-round, supported by consistent tourism and a growing base of long-term residents.
In 2024, condo transactions on Phuket grew 60%, yet Karon accounted for less than 5% of new supply — underlining its rarity.
Infrastructure upgrades are already underway:
• Widening of the Kata–Karon road
• Revamped beachfront and public areas
• Upgraded utility systems
With limited land and rising demand, continued price growth for beachfront properties is expected through the decade.

Summary
Vibe Residence Karon combines proximity to the sea, professional management, and a clear investment model — a rare trio for this part of Phuket.
For investors, it’s a currency-based income opportunity with low risk.
For end users, it’s a turnkey seaside home with hotel-standard service and private ownership rights.
