A club-style enclave of 8 villas designed by architecture studio Kerry Hill on a hill above Kata
Aurora Villas — villa project, Kata: entry from ~$2,960,895. Beach: Kata, ~1.3 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer-projected. Completion: Phase 1 — December 2026.
Aurora Villas is a club-style enclave of just 8 exclusive villas on Kata Hill above Kata beach, designed by architecture studio Kerry Hill. Phase 1 is stated for handover in December 2026, with Phase 2 construction starting after the first payment on Phase 1.
Kata Hill is an elevated ridge above Kata beach with bay views, about 1.3 km from the water as the crow flies. The terrain here is steep, so nearly everyone drives to the beach rather than walking — in exchange, the villas get open sea views and privacy away from the beachfront’s tourist flow. In the same Kata area, our catalog also features Kata Rocks — a more established, long-operating luxury brand with a noticeably lower entry price (from ~$1,647,520).
Entry starts from ~$2,960,895 for a 4–7 bedroom villa in Phase 1 — one of the highest price points in our catalog, comparable to the island’s top luxury icons. For that money, the buyer gets Kerry Hill architecture, a private infinity pool at every villa, and access to the Kata Hill Vista clubhouse with its terrace and panoramic rooftop. The developer projects a yield of around 6% per year, but in this price segment most buyers primarily view the villa as a personal asset rather than a source of rental income.
The developer is Uni Power Holding Co., Ltd., a Singapore-based company claiming around 10 years of experience in Southeast Asia and a project management portfolio of over 4.3M sqm. Phase 1, just 8 villas, is stated for handover in December 2026 — a comparatively short horizon for an off-plan project. Phase 2 only starts after the first payment on Phase 1, so the second stage’s timeline is not yet fixed — worth factoring in when planning to buy future villas in the project.
Who it suits: a buyer with a budget from $3M looking for an architecturally significant sea-view villa in a tight, club-style format of just 8 homes. Those who value a long brand track record or a more accessible entry point in the same area should take a closer look at Kata Rocks or other Kata projects in our catalog.
Our role as an agency is to verify the construction permit status and the Phase 1 payment schedule before reservation, check Uni Power’s track record on other projects in the region, and support the deal from reservation through to title registration. The developer pays our commission, so the price doesn’t change for the buyer.

Our catalog currently tracks 9 projects in Kata; new-build entry level here: from ~$110,072. Aurora Villas’s entry price is about 807% above the district median — the project sits in the upper segment of the location.
The median is calculated from the “from” prices of all catalog projects in the district and refreshes with every update.
Neighbours are picked by the same property type and the closest entry price in the same area — the projects our buyers actually shortlist against each other. Figures recalculate with every catalogue update.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold / leasehold. 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.
A foreign-quota condominium is registered in the buyer’s name. Purchase funds must enter Thailand with the correct purpose so the receiving bank can issue the foreign-exchange evidence used at the Land Office.
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.
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.
Indicative estimate: yield and the rental model depend on the project, unit and management program. Request an exact projection for a specific unit.

From ~$2,960,895 for a 4–7 bedroom villa in Phase 1 — per the price listed on villacarte.com.
Uni Power Holding Co., Ltd. — a Singapore-based developer claiming around 10 years of experience in Southeast Asia and a project management portfolio of over 4.3M sqm.
Phase 1 (8 villas) is stated for handover in December 2026. Phase 2 construction begins after the first payment on Phase 1 — exact timing for the second stage is not yet fixed.
Both ownership options are available. The specific structure is confirmed for the chosen villa.
The developer projects around 6% per year. This is a marketing benchmark, not a guaranteed payout — in the ultra-luxury segment many buyers view the villa primarily as a personal asset.
About 1.3 km, but Kata Hill’s terrain is steep — nearly all residents use a car rather than walk.
Kata Rocks is a more established luxury brand from ~$1,647,520 with a long operating track record. Aurora Villas is a new project with a higher entry price (from ~$2.96M) and Kerry Hill architecture, but no delivery history yet.
Funds arrive from abroad in foreign currency and the Thai bank issues an FET form. Without it the Land Department will not register freehold to a foreigner, so we agree the amount and payment reference in advance.
