A boutique club of 4 villas near the Karon viewpoint, southern Phuket
Garuda Villas — villa project, Rawai: entry from ~$947,024, from $2,235 per sqm. Beach: Rawai, ~3.7 km to Nai Harn. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% projected (villacarte). Completion: ~12 months from construction start (off-plan).
Garuda Villas is a boutique club of just 4 private villas in southern Phuket, at the foot of the Karon viewpoint. Each villa is two storeys, with 4 bedrooms plus an extra multi-purpose studio, sized around 423.8 sqm, with its own pool. The developer is Wamdom Development, entry starts from ~$947,024, and the project is off-plan.
Rawai occupies the island’s southern tip — an established area less crowded with tourists than the west coast, known for its fishing pier, promenade, and proximity to the Karon Viewpoint, one of the most recognisable spots in southern Phuket. Garuda Villas sits right at the foot of that viewpoint, roughly 3.7 km from Nai Harn Beach and about an 8-minute drive from Kata Noi. There’s no direct walking access to the sea, but the location gains from panoramic views and distance from the west coast’s tourist density.
In the same Rawai area, our catalog features Harmony Condominium — a completed condominium at a much more affordable entry price. The contrast sets up a clear choice: buyers who need a minimal ticket and ready-made property should look at the condo format, while those wanting a private plot with a pool and hillside views should consider a villa format like Garuda Villas.
Entry starts from ~$947,024 for a 4-bedroom villa sized about 423.8 sqm. That’s noticeably above the catalog average for villas in southern Phuket — the premium reflects the boutique format (only 4 lots in the whole project) and the prestige of the viewpoint location. The extra multi-purpose studio within the villa broadens its use — as a guest room, office, or staff area.
Rental is projected by the developer at around 5% annually, with complex management included in the offer. As with most recently announced projects, there’s no solid public occupancy track record yet — treat the figure as the developer’s benchmark.
Wamdom Development is a partnership between local agency Luxury Phuket and Russian development company WamDom. The developer already has one delivered project — WamDom Villas Rawai (7 units, completed May 2025) — giving it a minimal but confirmed delivery track record. Garuda Villas is a larger product by size and price from the same developer, still off-plan with an average construction time of about 12 months from start.
Risks worth weighing: first, the developer lacks a long public track record on the island — Wamdom Development isn’t among the companies with a decade-long reputation; second, the distance from the beach (3.7 km) means you’ll need your own transport for daily trips to the water; third, the boutique format (4 villas) means limited choice — if a specific lot is already reserved, there are no alternatives within the project.
Who it suits: a buyer looking for a private villa with panoramic views in the island’s south, comfortable with an off-plan format, who doesn’t prioritise walking access to the beach. Our role as an agency is to confirm the current status of available lots (there are only 4), clarify management and rental terms, and support the deal accounting for the ownership structure.

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.

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.
~5% projected (villacarte) — that is a projection, not a guarantee: actual income depends on occupancy, season and running costs. We model it for the specific unit before the deal.
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.
