Mountain-view villas in the hills of Si Sunthon — maximum privacy away from the tourist crowds
Manick Hillside Phuket — villa project, Thalang: entry from ~$1,330,194, from $1,963 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~9 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer forecast. Completion: Phase 1 (15 villas) delivered and sold out.
Manick Hillside is a villa community in the hills of Si Sunthon (classified by villacarte as Bang Tao), built in two phases. The first phase of 15 villas is fully sold out and delivered; Phase 2, now under construction, adds 7 three-bedroom villas with panoramic mountain views. The developer is Villa Manic Co., Ltd. Entry into Phase 2 starts from ~$1,330,194.
Si Sunthon is a hilly, sparsely populated part of Thalang away from Bang Tao’s tourist flows: the bet here is on privacy and views rather than walking distance to the beach or retail clusters. Bang Tao beach is about 9 km away (~18 minutes by car), and the British International School is about 10 km away. Our catalog also lists Fifth Element in the same Bang Tao area — completed villas of a very different format, a 5-minute walk from Boat Avenue, but without mountain views or the same level of plot privacy.
Entry price starts from ~$1,330,194 for a Phase 2 villa (3 bedrooms, ~550 sqm, 14-meter pool with mountain views). At the top of the community, ultra-luxury villas up to ~1,350 sqm cost around $2.66 million — meaning the price range within this single community nearly doubles depending on size and view. The entry price sits well above most Bang Tao villas in our catalog, including the completed Fifth Element (from ~$1,149,747) — the premium here buys hillside privacy and panoramic views rather than beach proximity.
Rental income is forecast by the developer at ~6% per year with a payback of about 12 years. Since Phase 2 is what’s currently for sale, there’s no established public occupancy track record for it yet — the forecast should be read as a marketing estimate.
Villa Manic Co., Ltd. has already proven it can deliver: Phase 1 of 15 villas is fully sold out and delivered. That sets the developer apart from debut projects with no track record — on this very project, the company has already completed a full cycle from launch to handover. Phase 2, the 7 villas currently for sale, is at the off-plan stage, carrying the standard construction timeline risk of any new phase. We found no public portfolio of other projects from this developer — Manick Hillside is its only confirmed property so far.
On the limitations side — the distance from the beach (~9 km) and the lack of disclosed CAM fee or sinking fund figures, which need to be confirmed per specific villa. The community’s ultra-luxury top lots ($2.5M+) form a separate price category that should be considered apart from the base Phase 2 entry price.
Who it suits: a buyer for whom panoramic mountain views, privacy, and spacious layouts matter more than walking distance to the beach or Cherng Talay’s retail infrastructure. Our role as an agency is to check the current pace of Phase 2 construction, the availability of a specific villa among the 7 lots, and reservation terms.

Our catalog currently tracks 27 projects in Thalang; new-build entry level here: from ~$100,622. Manick Hillside Phuket’s entry price is about 74% 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 / 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.

Villa Manic Co., Ltd. — a developer that fully sold out and delivered Phase 1 of 15 villas, and is now building Phase 2 of 7 villas.
Phase 1 is already delivered. Phase 2, currently for sale, is at the off-plan stage with a 10–24 month construction timeline from payment.
Both options are available — freehold and leasehold.
About 9 km to Bang Tao beach (~18 minutes by car) — the hillside location puts it farther from the sea than most projects in the area.
The developer forecasts ~6% per year with a payback of about 12 years. This is a marketing estimate — there’s no established public track record for Phase 2 yet.
Fifth Element offers completed villas near Boat Avenue, close to sea level, from ~$1,149,747. Manick Hillside trades beach and retail proximity for panoramic mountain views and hillside privacy.
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.
~6% developer forecast — 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.
