A 34-unit boutique condominium 2 minutes on foot from Boat Avenue
Surfhouse Residences is a boutique condominium of 34 units in a 7-storey building in Cherng Talay, literally a two-minute walk from Boat Avenue — the largest retail and dining cluster in the north of Phuket. Units ranging from ~60 to ~172 sqm are configured for 1–3 bedrooms, and the complex is surrounded by a tropical garden with a pool and lounge areas.
Location is the project’s main asset: Boat Avenue, with dozens of cafes, restaurants, a supermarket and entertainment, is 180 meters away — about a 2-minute walk. Layan beach is roughly 3 km away, and HKT airport is about 12 minutes by car. This format suits buyers for whom walkable amenities matter more than direct beach access — the typical profile is a long-term rental investor or someone who frequently uses Boat Avenue’s cafes and services.
Entry into the project starts from ~$541,692 for a compact unit from ~60 sqm. In the same Bang Tao area, the closest neighbours by price are Bellaguna Lake Residences Lotus (cheaper) and Angsana Golf Residences Topaz (pricier) — Surfhouse Residences sits in between, but wins on walking distance to a retail cluster that most neighbours lack. Pricing for larger units (up to 172 sqm, 3 bedrooms) is not fully disclosed publicly — available on request. The developer projects a rental yield of around 6% per year; this is a marketing benchmark, not a contractual guarantee.
Completion is targeted for January 2027 — a horizon of under two years, relatively short for off-plan in Phuket. The main nuance is the developer: Sala Hospitality Group is an experienced hotel operator with 20 years of history (SALA resorts in Samui since 2004 and Mai Khao since 2007), but Surfhouse Residences is the company’s first project specifically in residential development. Experience running resorts does not equal experience delivering condominiums on time and to the stated quality — worth keeping in mind when weighing the risks.
Who it suits: a buyer for whom a location by Boat Avenue matters more than direct beach access, and who is willing to weigh the risks of an experienced hotel operator’s first development project. Before reservation we check the building permit status, actual on-site progress, and the detailed pricing for 2-bedroom-plus units, which are not yet fully published.

Sala Hospitality Group — a 20-year hotel operator (SALA Samui resort since 2004, SALA Phuket Mai Khao since 2007). Surfhouse Residences is the company’s first project in residential development rather than hotel management.
Targeted for January 2027 — off-plan, at an active construction stage.
Both options are available within the standard foreign quota for condominiums. The exact status of a specific unit is confirmed during selection.
The developer states a ~6% per year benchmark. This is a marketing projection, not a guarantee — we check it against actual performance data for comparable Bang Tao condos.
Boat Avenue is about 180 m away, a 2-minute walk. Layan beach is roughly 3 km away, requiring transport.
The closest neighbours by price are Bellaguna Lake Residences Lotus (cheaper) and Angsana Golf Residences Topaz (pricier). Surfhouse Residences stands out for its 2-minute location from Boat Avenue and boutique scale of 34 units, but unlike Bellaguna and Angsana, this is the developer’s first residential project — with no delivery history.
