Phuket Property Prices in April 2026: Area-by-Area Snapshot

Phuket’s property market entered April 2026 with asking prices at their highest levels across most coastal zones, while inland and northern areas continue to offer meaningful value for buyers willing to look beyond the established luxury corridors. The following area-by-area breakdown is compiled from active listings, developer price lists, and Land Department transaction data reviewed by the MORE Group research team.

Bang Tao

Bang Tao remains Phuket’s most liquid and actively transacted market. Condo asking prices range from 4 to 12 million THB for 1- to 2-bedroom units in quality developments, with price-per-square-metre typically landing between 100,000 and 160,000 THB for new builds and well-maintained resale units. Villas in Bang Tao and the broader Laguna corridor command 20 to 80 million THB, depending on plot size, proximity to the beach, and finishing specification.

Bang Tao consistently records the strongest year-on-year price appreciation among Phuket’s main markets — up an estimated 12 to 15% in the 12 months to March 2026.

Rawai and Nai Harn

Rawai is Phuket’s go-to destination for buyers seeking genuine value. Condos here range from 3 to 8 million THB, with villas available from 12 to 30 million THB — considerably below comparable product in the west coast zones. Price-per-square-metre for condos runs from 65,000 to 95,000 THB. The trade-off versus Bang Tao is beach proximity: Rawai’s public beach is less swimmable, though Nai Harn beach is a short drive away. Appreciation has been more modest, at approximately 7 to 9% over the past year.

Kamala

Kamala occupies a middle ground — quieter than Bang Tao, more upmarket than Rawai. Condo asking prices sit in the 5 to 15 million THB range. The area is drawing significant interest from buyers priced out of Bang Tao, and several premium developments launched here in 2025 are now reporting brisk resale demand. Price-per-sqm: 90,000 to 130,000 THB for quality product.

Surin

Surin is Phuket’s premium mid-market, sitting directly between the mass-market Bang Tao strip and the exclusive Millionaires Mile of Kamala headland. Premium condos and smaller branded units range from 8 to 25 million THB. The area appeals strongly to European buyers seeking proximity to Surin Beach’s restaurant and beach club scene. Price-per-sqm: 110,000 to 170,000 THB at the upper end.

Layan

Layan, the quieter, more forested zone north of Bang Tao, has firmly established itself as Phuket’s luxury villa benchmark. Pool villas here range from 25 million THB for new boutique developments to well over 100 million THB for large-plot private estates. The area is popular with ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking privacy, and transaction volumes — while lower than Bang Tao — are consistently growing year on year.

Nai Yang and Mai Khao (North Phuket)

For value-oriented buyers, north Phuket remains the market’s most accessible entry point. Condos in Nai Yang range from 3 to 10 million THB, and the area benefits from proximity to Phuket International Airport — increasingly relevant given the airport’s planned expansion. Price-per-sqm can be under 80,000 THB in some projects.

Kata and Karon

These twin resort areas on the south-west coast offer condos from 3 to 8 million THB in a well-established tourist environment. Rental demand remains solid given the concentration of hotels and beach activity. Both areas suit investors focused on short-term rental income over capital appreciation.

Where Value Buyers Should Look

For buyers prioritising capital upside, Kamala and Nai Yang offer the clearest near-term growth arguments: Kamala via spillover demand from Bang Tao, and Nai Yang from the infrastructure tailwind of the airport expansion. Both remain 20 to 40% below equivalent Bang Tao pricing — a gap that has historically compressed over time.
