About the project

Above Element Villa is the villa side of the Above Element master plan by Art House Group in Bang Tao, neighbouring the condo building of the same project already featured in our catalog. The format is private-pool villas of 370 or 485 sqm, in the district’s upper price segment, but keeping Above Element’s signature proximity to west-coast key infrastructure.

Location and surroundings

The villa sits about 2.5 km from Bang Tao Beach, surrounded by Laguna Golf Course, the Boat Avenue retail cluster and Porto de Phuket marina — a typical set for this area’s premium segment. The closest villa project by price in our catalog is The Title Villa Kirara by public developer The Title, priced roughly a quarter lower. Above Element Villa costs more, but wins on home size and proximity to Laguna’s golf infrastructure.

Economics and pricing

Entry from ~$1,190,291 for a 3-bedroom villa of ~370 sqm makes this one of the priciest listings in our Bang Tao catalog, at the ultra-premium end of the segment. A larger ~485 sqm layout is available on request. The developer offers an instalment programme but does not publicly disclose the detailed payment schedule. The managed rental option projects around 6% a year — a developer estimate, applicable to any project at this scale only as a guideline, not a contractual guarantee.

Stage, developer and risks

Art House Group already confirms its Phuket track record with a portfolio of around 9 projects and roughly 995 units, including the adjacent Above Element Condominium on the same site. That said, the villa side of the project has no fixed handover date — the developer states only an average construction time of around 12 months after the first payment, which complicates planning for the buyer. Ownership type for a specific villa is not publicly specified, and there is no CAM fee or sinking fund data across any source we checked — worth clarifying before reservation.

Who it suits: a premium-segment buyer who wants a private-pool villa near Laguna’s golf infrastructure and can accept the lack of a fixed handover date. Buyers who need a transparent exact date and a more accessible price should look at The Title Villa Kirara in the same district.

Our role as an agency — to confirm ownership type, the exact instalment schedule and CAM fee terms with the developer before reservation, track the real construction pace, and support the deal through to title registration. The developer pays our commission — the price stays the same for the buyer.

Legal deal structure

How ownership at Above Element Villa is structured

The developer information in this listing states: ownership type for the villa is not publicly specified — confirmed per specific lot. This is the project-level starting point, not a legal opinion on a particular unit. The contract, title, foreign quota and seller authority must be verified before reservation.

Villa and land

A foreign buyer may own the structure but cannot directly own Thai land. The land element is normally held through a registered long lease or another lawful structure. Term, renewals, inheritance and resale rights must be explicit in the contract.

Before the next payment

Verify the receiving legal entity, construction milestone, payment trigger, delay remedies and the documents the seller must deliver for registration.

This is general information. Structure and taxes depend on the unit, seller and contract; an independent Thai lawyer should complete the final review.

FAQ

How much does an Above Element villa cost?

From ~$1,190,291 for a 3-bedroom villa of ~370 sqm. A ~485 sqm layout is also available.

Who is the developer?

Art House Group, a Phuket developer active since 2012 with a portfolio of around 9 projects and ~995 units on the island, including the adjacent Above Element Condominium.

When is completion?

The developer gives no fixed date — average construction time is around 12 months after the first payment.

Freehold or leasehold?

Ownership type for a specific villa is not publicly disclosed — we confirm it before reservation.

Can the villa be rented out?

Yes, the developer projects around 6% a year. That is an estimate, not a guaranteed payout.

How far is it from the beach?

About 2.5 km to Bang Tao Beach — a quick drive, but not walkable.

How does it compare to other Bang Tao villa projects?

The closest villa project by price in our catalog is The Title Villa Kirara (catalog/the-title-villa-kirara) by public developer The Title, priced roughly 25% lower. Above Element Villa costs more, but offers larger villas and a location closer to Laguna golf course.

Can I live in the unit myself?

Yes, the unit stays yours. Inside a managed rental program the number of owner-stay nights is capped by the contract — we go through the exact terms for this project before you book.

How do I transfer the purchase money from abroad?

For leasehold an FET form is not mandatory, which widens the payment options. The bank still checks the source of funds — we walk through the transfer before any booking.
