22 villas in Ko Kaew from a local developer with 30 years on the island
Zenithy La Ville — villa project, Ko Kaew: entry from ~$629,959, from $1,842 per sqm. Beach: not a beach project — nearest beaches ~20 min drive. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer projection. Completion: off-plan, ~12 months from construction start.
Zenithy La Ville is an estate of 22 modern villas in Ko Kaew, one of the practical, family-oriented districts on mainland Phuket. Each villa has 342 sqm of built-up area on a 259–472 sqm plot, 3 ensuite bedrooms, a private pool with a jacuzzi, a landscaped garden, and a double carport. The project is built by Zenithy Development, a developer with more than 30 years on the island. Entry is from ~$629,959, with the project off-plan and a build time of about 12 months.
Ko Kaew sits on the island’s eastern side, away from the tourist beaches, but with one of the strongest infrastructure positions for families: British International School Phuket is 1.8 km away, the Boat Lagoon and Royal Phuket Marina are 4–4.4 km away, Bangkok Hospital Phuket is 10.7 km away, and the Central Phuket Festival / Floresta retail cluster is 11.8 km away. The nearest beaches are off to the side, about a 20-minute drive: this is not a district for buyers seeking water within walking distance, but for those who value logistics to school, marina and city infrastructure.
In the same Ko Kaew district, our catalogue also lists Crown Estate — a large, completed 128-villa estate with a lower entry price (from ~$532,717) — and Casa de Monte (from ~$899,467), a pricier villa format in the same district. By price, Zenithy La Ville sits between the two.
Entry into the project starts from ~$629,959 for a 342 sqm villa on a plot from 259 sqm. That’s pricier than the completed Crown Estate but cheaper than Casa de Monte — a typical mid-range position for the district. The spacious plots (up to 472 sqm at the top tier) are a notable advantage over denser villa projects on the island, where land per villa is often 1.5–2 times smaller.
Rental yield is projected by the developer at around 6% annually — a standard benchmark for off-plan villa projects on the island that needs checking against actual performance after delivery, rather than a ready-made pool track record. There’s no public data on CAM fees or the sinking fund for this project; confirm per unit when shortlisting.
Zenithy Development has operated on the local real estate market for over 30 years — not a newcomer, but a developer with a long history on the island, including the already-completed Zenithy Pool Villas in Bang Tao. Zenithy La Ville is being built in a district unfamiliar to the brand (Ko Kaew, instead of Zenithy’s usual Bang Tao/Cherng Talay belt), which is worth factoring in: the company’s track record specifically in this location is shorter than in its main territory.
Key risks: first, the standard off-plan risk of timeline slippage — the stated ~12-month build time from start could extend; second, the ownership structure (freehold or leasehold) is not publicly detailed for this specific project, and the status needs checking for the chosen unit before reservation; third, Ko Kaew is fundamentally not a beach district, and buyers expecting water within walking distance should look at coastal districts instead.
Who it suits: a villa buyer who values a spacious plot and for whom logistics to an international school, marina and hospital matter more than a beach location, and who is comfortable with an off-plan deal from a developer with a long — if elsewhere-based — track record on the island. Our role as an agency is to confirm the current availability among the 22 villas, verify the ownership structure for the chosen plot, and support the deal from reservation through title registration.

Our catalog currently tracks 8 projects in Ko Kaew; new-build entry level here: from ~$372,040. Zenithy La Ville’s entry price is about 30% below the district median — one of the most affordable starts in the area.
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.

Zenithy Development — a Phuket developer with over 30 years on the local market. Its portfolio also includes Zenithy Pool Villas in Bang Tao.
The project is off-plan, with an average build time of about 12 months from start.
Both options exist on the island, but there’s no publicly detailed information on the exact structure for Zenithy La Ville — we confirm the status for the chosen unit.
Ko Kaew is not a beach district: the nearest beaches are about 20 minutes by car. In exchange, marinas, an international school and a hospital are nearby.
The developer projects around 6% annually. This is a marketing estimate at the sales stage, with no proven occupancy history yet.
[Crown Estate](/villacarte/catalog/crown-estate) is an already-completed 128-villa estate with a more accessible entry price (from ~$532,717). Zenithy La Ville is smaller in scale (22 villas) and still off-plan, but with more spacious plots.
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 projection — 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.
