A 16-villa gated community on Cape Yamu overlooking Phang Nga Bay — a delivered project with no off-plan risk
The Bay Cape Yamu — villa project, Pa Klok · Yamu: entry from ~$2,226,162. Beach: Cape Yamu, ~300 m. Both freehold and leasehold available. No rental program at this project. Delivered in 2010.
The Bay at Cape Yamu is a small gated community of 16 villas on Cape Yamu, Phuket’s eastern peninsula overlooking Phang Nga Bay. The project was fully built and delivered back in 2010 — this is ready housing, not off-plan. Each villa is a two-storey duplex with two pavilions and a private ~20-metre infinity pool.
Cape Yamu is a quiet peninsula on Phuket’s east coast, known for views of Phang Nga Bay’s rocky limestone islands. Unlike the densely built west coast — Patong, Bang Tao, Kamala — there are no beach clubs, nightlife or tourist crowds here: people choose this area for privacy and scenery rather than resort infrastructure. The cape’s own beach is about 300 metres away, Royal Phuket Marina is roughly 3.9 km, and the airport is about half an hour by car. Our catalog offers a comparable level of privacy and pricing on the east coast through the gated villa communities of the Panwa peninsula — for example Sea Cloud View and Garden Atlas Bayview: both also bet on the east coast’s seclusion rather than the west’s beach traffic.
Entry into the community starts from ~$2,226,162 for a base-configuration villa; the line-up runs up to 5-bedroom villas. This is a premium segment even by Phuket standards — comparable prices are typical of gated villa communities on the east coast with a limited number of lots and bay views. No managed rental program is stated by the developer: unlike west-coast resort complexes with fixed-split pool models, the typical arrangement here is self-managed ownership or letting through private managers, which makes income less predictable but suits buyers focused primarily on their own use.
The resale market in this segment is thin: few comparable listings exist, so liquidity is lower than at large resort projects with dozens of similar units for sale at once.
The project was fully delivered in 2010 — there’s no construction-delay or developer-insolvency risk here, a clear advantage over most off-plan properties in our catalog. The flip side of a ready property this age is the need to carefully inspect finishes, the roof, the pool and building systems, since the villas are now over 15 years old. Developer Campbell Kane (Thailand) Ltd. is publicly known specifically for this project — there’s no confirmed portfolio of other island projects, though that matters less for a long-delivered, operating community than it would for an off-plan purchase. Buying through Layan Real Estate costs the same as a direct purchase; we’ll arrange an on-site viewing of a specific villa and verify the land title and ownership structure before the deal.

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.
