When buying freehold
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.

Award-winning villas on the cape between Kata and Kata Noi, completed since 2014
Kata Rocks — villa project, Kata: entry from ~$1,647,520, from $7,826 per sqm. Beach: Kata, ~500 m. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~4% developer projection. Completed in 2014 (Phase 1 — November–December 2014).
Kata Rocks is a collection of 34 exclusive residences on a small cape between Kata and Kata Noi beaches, southwest Phuket. The project was completed in 2014 (Phase 1 in November–December of that year) and has operated for over ten years since — a finished product with a checkable track record, not render-stage promises. Over that time the complex has won several international awards, including the International Property Awards and International Hotel Awards 2015 — a confirmed level of architecture and service, not unsupported marketing claims.
The developer is Infinite Luxury, a London-based company with over 20 years of residential-building experience. All 34 villas are two stories, each with a private pool and terrace; sizes range from ~134 sq.m. for compact 2–3-bedroom villas up to ~460 sq.m. for 5-bedroom penthouses.
Entry pricing starts from ~$1,647,520 for a 2–3-bedroom villa; the top-tier penthouse starts from ~$3,600,000. That’s the expected range for the ultra-luxury segment: buyers pay not just for floor area but for a private cape location and an award-winning project’s reputation. The rental model offers a developer projection of around 4% a year — a conservative benchmark for this segment, where many buyers see the villa primarily as a personal asset rather than an income source.
Location is a key strength: about 500 meters to Kata beach, while the complex itself sits on a quiet cape away from dense resort development. That sets Kata Rocks apart from the more tourist-heavy Patong nearby, while keeping the developed infrastructure of the island’s southwest within a short drive.
Ownership within the project is mixed — some villas are full freehold, others on long-term land leases. That structure needs checking per specific lot: freehold typically makes resale to a foreign buyer simpler, while leasehold requires attention to the lease term and renewal conditions.
Who it suits: a buyer who values a finished product with a proven reputation and beach proximity over the ability to pick a layout from scratch at the foundation stage. For a project over ten years old, resale lots deserve closer inspection — the condition of building systems and interiors can vary villa to villa depending on maintenance history.
Our role as an agency is to source a specific villa with a transparent ownership and maintenance history, separately verify freehold or leasehold status on the chosen lot, check the rental management program’s terms, and support the deal from reservation to title registration.

Our catalog currently tracks 9 projects in Kata; new-build entry level here: from ~$110,072. Kata Rocks’s entry price is about 405% 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 development is complete and hosts guests, so it carries a public score on booking platforms. For a rental buyer that is a direct signal: this is how the management company performs in practice and how the market sees the property.
Ratings verified on August 5, 2026. Scores were collected by booking platforms from their own guests and are quoted as a number with a link to the source. They speak to the management company and service level, not to the legal side of a purchase.



The developer information in this listing states: freehold and leasehold — both occur in the project; structure depends on the 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.
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.

Infinite Luxury — a London-based development company with 20+ years of residential-building experience.
In 2014, with Phase 1 in November–December of that year. It’s a finished, long-operating product, not off-plan.
Both occur in the project — some villas are freehold, others on long-term land leases. We confirm the structure for the specific lot.
Yes, through a management program with a developer projection of around 4% a year. That’s a conservative benchmark for this ultra-luxury segment, not a guarantee — actual yield depends on the specific villa and season.
About 500 meters to Kata beach. The complex itself sits on a small cape between Kata and Kata Noi — quieter than the resort zones of Patong.
All three are ultra-luxury villa projects with operating infrastructure, but in different parts of the island: Kata Rocks in the southwest by Kata, Sri Panwa on the southern tip by Cape Panwa, Trisara in the northwest by Layan/Nai Thon. We can compare locations and economics for your specific brief.
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.
