A Wyndham-managed condo-hotel in Rawai, ~450–550 m to the beach, guaranteed 6% income for 2 years
Wyndham La Vita — apart-hotel, Rawai: entry from ~$153,743, from $5,301 per sqm. Beach: Rawai, ~450–550 m. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% guaranteed income for the first 2 years (developer). Phase 1 delivered — late 2022.
Wyndham La Vita is a large 516-unit condo-hotel in Rawai, on the island’s south coast, managed by the international hotel operator Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The developer is VIP Thailand Group, also known for The Regent Bangtao project. Phase 1 was delivered in late 2022: a seven-storey building with reception, restaurant and pool sits 450–550 metres from Rawai beach.
Rawai is a quiet southern district with a local, non-touristy beach character and solid infrastructure for long-term living. From here, the beach is 450–550 metres away — a comfortable walk, though not first line. On-site amenities include a pool, gym, restaurant, bar with lounge area, a garden, and free parking; reception operates around the clock, typical for a condo-hotel format under international brand management.
Entry to the project is one of the most accessible in the catalog: from ~$153,743 for a studio of around 29 sqm. Larger apartments up to 156 sqm are available on request. The rental model here has two stages: the first two years offer a guaranteed 6%/year income, fixed by the developer regardless of actual occupancy, followed by a shift to an 80/20 rental pool in the owner’s favour under Wyndham management, where the final yield depends on real occupancy. This is a convenient structure for investors who want predictability at the start, but it’s worth understanding that after the guarantee period ends, yield becomes dependent on actual demand.
The large scale — 516 units — means that once the project moves to the rental pool stage, owners compete for guests against a large number of similar studios inside the same building, not just neighbouring district projects.
Phase 1 is already delivered and operating — a finished asset rather than a paper off-plan project, reducing construction risk compared to projects still under construction. That said, the developer doesn’t publish a CAM fee figure — the only confirmed ownership-cost figure is a one-time sinking fund of $13 per sqm; monthly costs should be requested directly before reservation.
As an agency, we’ll confirm the actual terms of the transition from guaranteed income to the rental pool, verify the current CAM fee for the specific unit, and discuss realistic yield expectations after the two-year period — the marketing 6%/year figure shouldn’t be mistaken for a guarantee across the full ownership period. For clients who value walking distance to the beach in this price segment, we’ll compare Wyndham La Vita’s economics against other south-island projects in the catalog.

The developer information in this listing states: foreign freehold (49% building quota) or leasehold — per 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.
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.
Leasehold is registered as a long-term lease. The review covers the term, renewals, assignment, inheritance, early termination and the landowner’s obligation to register the transaction.
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.

VIP Thailand Group — a developer working in partnership with the international hotel operator Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The company is also known for The Regent Bangtao project.
Phase 1 was delivered in late 2022 — this is a finished complex, not off-plan.
Foreign freehold is available within the 49% building quota, or leasehold — the specific option depends on the unit at the time of booking.
A guaranteed 6%/year income for the first 2 years, after which terms shift to an 80/20 rental pool in the owner’s favour under Wyndham management.
About 450–550 metres to Rawai beach — comfortable walking distance, though not first line.
The key difference is management by the international Wyndham hotel brand and a guaranteed yield from day one, while some neighbouring Rawai projects rely only on local operators without a guarantee period.
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.
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.
