A 13-villa club community in Chalong with oversized pools and smart-home tech — off-plan, close to handover
Lavish Estates — villa project, Chalong: entry from ~$1,958,825. Beach: Kata, ~9 km; Nai Harn, ~11 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~7% developer projection. Completion: phases 1–2 handover was slated for end of 2025 — the date has passed, we confirm the actual status with the developer.
Lavish Estates is a club villa community of 13 homes in the Chalong area, currently under construction. The complex is split into two phases with 3- and 5-bedroom villas, each with an extra-length private pool and an automated monitoring system, smart-home fittings and walk-in closets. Handover is slated for end of 2025. Entry is from ~$1,958,825.
Chalong is a southern residential area of the island with well-developed infrastructure for families: about 5 minutes by car to the BCIS international school and around 10 minutes to Chalong Pier, where boats depart for the surrounding islands. The nearest beaches — Kata and Rawai — are 15–20 minutes by car, about 9–11 km away: Lavish Estates is not a beachfront project but a quiet residential enclave in the heart of the island’s south. In the same Chalong area our catalog also has the already-completed Larimar Villas — a noticeably more affordable villa format at entry (from ~$526,782), useful for comparing scale and finish level.
Entry from ~$1,958,825 is one of the highest thresholds among villa projects in Chalong in our catalog, noticeably above the ready Larimar Villas and the club-style La Vista Villas (from $1,136,891). The difference is explained by positioning: extra-length pools, automated monitoring, smart toilets and walk-in closets are details that in this price segment usually indicate a higher level of finish and engineering. Rental is projected by the developer at around 7% per year — higher than neighbouring projects in the area claim, but this is still a marketing benchmark without an operating history of its own, since the complex is still under construction.
Elite Manor Co., Ltd. is a Chalong-based developer for which Lavish Estates is the only publicly confirmed project: we found no large track record of delivering past projects. Construction of phases 1 and 2 is slated for completion by end of 2025 — the standard off-plan risk here is a possible slip in timing, typical of most under-construction villa complexes on the island. The tech features (automated pool monitoring, smart toilets) require separate verification of feasibility and maintenance cost after handover — such systems on Phuket don’t always run trouble-free in their first years of operation.
Who it suits: a buyer willing to pay a premium for a higher level of tech fit-out and oversized pools in a compact club format, for whom beach access isn’t a priority. Those for whom a lower entry point in the same area matters more should compare with the ready Larimar Villas.
Our role as an agency is to verify the current handover schedule for phases 1 and 2, confirm how the automated pool and smart-home systems will operate after the warranty period, and check the ownership structure and reservation agreement before the first payment.

Our catalog currently tracks 17 projects in Chalong; new-build entry level here: from ~$84,530. Lavish Estates’s entry price is about 249% 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 (house) / leasehold (land via assignment agreement). 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.

Elite Manor Co., Ltd. — a Chalong-based developer specialising in compact club villas. Lavish Estates is the company’s only confirmed project; we found no public portfolio of other completed projects.
Handover of phases 1 and 2 was slated for end of 2025 — the date has passed, and we confirm the actual status with the developer.
The structure is mixed, as with most landed projects on the island: the house can belong to a foreigner, while the land is usually registered via an assignment agreement. We verify this for the specific villa.
About 9 km to Kata and 11 km to Nai Harn — Lavish Estates is not a beachfront project, a car is required.
Yes, the developer projects around 7% per year — higher than some neighbouring Chalong projects. This is a marketing benchmark at the sales stage; the project has no occupancy history of its own yet.
The main difference is extra-long pools with automated monitoring and smart-home fittings in every villa. For comparison: the ready Larimar Villas in the same area is noticeably cheaper (from ~$526,782), but without this level of tech fit-out and with a more modest projected yield.
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.
~7% developer projection — 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.
