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.

A completed eco-community of 20 villas with resort infrastructure in Rawai, on the south of Phuket
Le Villas & Residence — villa project, Rawai: entry from ~$529,741. Beach: Nai Harn, ~3.1 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% developer projection. Completed in May 2022.
Le Villas & Residence is a completed complex in Rawai on the south of Phuket, combining 20 villas with 4–5 bedrooms with a full resort wing of 54 rooms. Developer M Pool Villa Resort completed the project in May 2022: Thai architecture, natural finishing materials and shared infrastructure — a pool, restaurant, bar, spa and fitness centre under hotel management. Entry starts from ~$529,741.
The complex is located in Rawai, a quiet southern area of the island with developed local infrastructure — markets, schools and venues at more affordable prices than on the west coast. Nai Harn beach, one of the most scenic on the south of Phuket, is about 3.1 km away (roughly 7 minutes by car); Rawai beach and the fishing pier are within the complex’s own area. This isn’t a beachfront project in the strict sense, but the location gives access to several beaches on the south coast at once.
Entry from ~$529,741 makes Le Villas & Residence one of the more affordable villa projects in its area. For comparison: Ka Village in Rawai costs from ~$651,079 — higher priced, but also a completed villa format without resort infrastructure. The pricier Garuda Villas from ~$947,024 in the same area shows that view villas on the south of the island can cost 1.5–2 times more than Le Villas’ base entry point. The key distinction in Le Villas & Residence’s economics is the two-part model: the villas share infrastructure with the resort’s guest rooms, which broadens the potential tenant base but also means shared operating costs for the common areas.
The project was completed in May 2022 — there is no construction risk here, this is a finished and occupied complex with several years of operating history. M Pool Villa Resort is simultaneously developing the off-plan project Le Villa Lake in Bang Tao under the same Le Villas brand, which gives some sense of brand continuity, although it remains a small developer with a portfolio of two projects. For a completed property, the key risk isn’t construction but operational: the condition of the resort’s shared infrastructure, the quality of the management team and actual occupancy figures are worth verifying on the ground rather than taking the stated ~5% per year yield projection at face value.
Who it fits: a buyer who wants a completed villa with full hotel-style service on the south of the island and isn’t insisting on beachfront. Those looking for a purely private format without shared resort infrastructure should look at standalone villa communities without a resort wing.
Our role as an agency is to verify the current condition of the infrastructure and management company on the ground, actual rental rates for comparable villas in the complex, and the freehold/leasehold structure for the specific lot.

Our catalog currently tracks 31 projects in Rawai; new-build entry level here: from ~$105,652. Le Villas & Residence’s entry price is about 170% 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). 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 ~$529,741 for a 4-bedroom villa. Five-bedroom villas cost more — the final price depends on the area and the plot position.
M Pool Villa Resort Co., Ltd. — the developer that also built the off-plan project Le Villa Lake in Bang Tao under the same Le Villas brand.
In May 2022. This is a completed project with several years of operating history, not off-plan.
A mixed structure: the house is freehold, the land plot is leasehold. We verify the exact terms for the specific lot before a deal.
Yes, a hotel management team operates on site. The developer’s yield projection is around 5% per year; this is a benchmark, not a guarantee.
~3.1 km to Nai Harn beach, about 7 minutes by car. Rawai beach and the fishing pier are within the complex’s own area.
The main difference is the resort format with full hotel infrastructure (restaurant, spa, fitness) at a comparatively low entry threshold for a villa. For a budget comparison, see Ka Village from ~$651,079 or Garuda Villas from ~$947,024 in the same southern area.
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.
