Rawai is the island’s south: the fish market, yacht moorings, Promthep Cape — and a different economy, where people live rather than holiday. Long rental terms, expats and winter stayers, prices notably softer than the west. Large condo projects (VIP, Title) open entry from ~$100–130k — Phuket’s most accessible threshold.

Calculated from 39 unit-mix rows in our catalog; medians refresh with every update.
Our catalog currently tracks 27 projects in Rawai: 15 condominiums, 11 villa estates, 1 condo-hotel. This is a live market snapshot — the page rebuilds with every catalog update, so the numbers below are current as of the date in the header.
New-build entry starts from ~$105 652 (Fantasea Rawai); the median entry is ~$166 964, and the median price per square metre is ~$3 403/m². Medians are steadier than averages: a single ultra-luxury lot cannot skew them. For context, median entry nearby: Nai Harn — ~$322 202.
15 projects are under construction and 12 are completed and occupied. Completions are spread as follows: 2025 — 2 projects, 2026 — 2 projects, 2027 — 6 projects, 2028 — 2 projects. The closer the handover, the smaller the waiting discount — the lowest prices historically belong to early phases.
Prices by unit type (entry and catalog median): studios — from ~$73 700, median ~$132 000 (10 listings); 1-bedroom units — from ~$105 652, median ~$156 400 (13 listings); 2-bedroom units — from ~$180 000, median ~$276 000 (11 listings); 4+ bedroom units — from ~$458 715, median ~$947 024 (6 listings).
12 of 27 projects put the beach within walking distance (~1 km); 26 offer a managed rental program or pool; 6 have sea-view units. For investors these are the three yield filters that matter most: walkable beach and managed rentals historically deliver the best occupancy.
The slice covers 22 developers; the most represented are Harmony Group (3 projects), The Title (RHOM BHO Property) (3 projects), Billfishing Phuket Co., Ltd. (2 projects), Fantasea Plus (1 project). Developer diversity reduces risk — compare delivery track records, not just prices; every developer has its own page in the catalog.
Rawai is the south’s most liveable district: year-round life, the seafood market, gyms, cafés. You swim at Nai Harn and Ya Nui 5–10 minutes away. In exchange — prices 20–40% below the west coast and steady long-term demand from relocators rather than seasonal tourists.
Long-term: relocators, Muay Thai camp athletes and remote workers rent for months and years. Net yields of 6–8% with minimal operational load and almost no seasonal dips. The nightly segment exists thanks to Nai Harn nearby, but it is secondary.
Rawai is a rare district where a pool villa starts from ~$350k — a west-coast condo budget buys a noticeably larger home here. A condo (from ~$128k) wins on ease of letting; a villa wins on quality of life and family long lets.
