About the project

Andara offers residences, penthouses and villas within the operating 5-star Andara Resort & Villas near Kamala beach, southwest Phuket. The estate was founded by Allan Zeman, creator of Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong district: Phase 1 (villas) was completed back in December 2009, and the resort has operated as a single 5-star property with a full operating history ever since.

Location and surroundings

The beach at Kamala is about 300 m from the estate — roughly a 15-minute walk, with a free shuttle running during the day. Kamala has become one of the island’s luxury real-estate hubs in recent years, with MontAzure developing nearby through projects like Botanica MontAzure and Twinpalms Residences MontAzure. What sets Andara apart from these younger neighbors is its already fully operating resort infrastructure and fifteen years of operating history, rather than a recent sales launch.

Economics and pricing

Entry starts from ~$1,744,964 for a 2-bedroom residence of around 162–179 sqm. Larger formats — 3-bedroom residences (~214–231 sqm) and villas from 4 to 7 bedrooms (~549–805 sqm) — are sold on request, with no published pricing. The resort’s management projects a yield of around 5% per year, conservative even for the luxury segment: many buyers at this price point primarily treat the property as a personal asset rather than an income source.

Stage, developer and risks

The developer is LKF Group, led by Allan Zeman; the residences are managed by the team behind the operating 5-star Andara Resort. The project is fully complete and has been operating since 2009 — there’s no construction-delay risk here, but a resale unit’s finish condition and maintenance history over the years should be checked separately. Sources give no transparency on operating costs (CAM fee, sinking fund) — this needs to be clarified directly with the management company before the deal.

Who it suits: a buyer who values an established luxury brand with a proven operating history and is ready to invest from $1.7M+ in an operating resort asset. Buyers seeking a more affordable entry into the Kamala area or a newer project with modern infrastructure under construction should look at the neighboring MontAzure projects.

Our role as an agency is to confirm the current list of available residences and villas, the exact terms of the management program and ownership structure for the specific unit, verify documents, and support the deal from reservation through title registration. The developer pays our commission — the price stays the same for the buyer.

Legal deal structure

How ownership at Andara is structured

The developer information in this listing states: ownership structure confirmed per specific unit. 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.

When was the project completed?

Phase 1 (villas) was completed in December 2009 — the resort has been operating for over 15 years.

Freehold or leasehold?

The ownership structure is confirmed per specific unit — sources don’t give a single answer for the whole complex.

Yes, through the resort’s management with a developer projection of around 5% per year — a benchmark, not a guaranteed payout.

How far is the beach?

About 300 m, roughly a 15-minute walk; the resort also offers a free shuttle to Kamala beach during the day.

How does Andara compare to the neighboring MontAzure projects?

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.
