Live somewhere exceptional.
Selected homes in Phuket and beyond, where property, lifestyle and the possibility of a different future come together.
A country made for living.
Tropical landscapes, warm weather, beaches, exceptional hospitality and an established international community make Thailand compelling for people considering a longer-term change of lifestyle.
Elite Property Listings is built around the idea that relocation is about more than buying a home. The destination, the quality of everyday life, the community, healthcare, schools, connectivity and the route to longer-term residence all matter.
Buying overseas is exciting. It can also be complicated, so we help you understand ownership structures, foreign buyer rules and the purchase process before you commit your money.
Island life, without giving up everyday life.
Nai Harn sits in the south of Phuket, close to beaches, Rawai, Promthep Cape and a broad range of restaurants, wellness, sport, healthcare and international services. It offers a greener, more relaxed side of the island while remaining connected to the wider Phuket economy.
Phuket, Nai Harn and the beach.
Why Phuket combines an established international lifestyle with beaches, restaurants, healthcare and a mature property market.
Phuket
Thailand’s largest island sits in the Andaman Sea, with an international airport, private hospitals, international schools and a year-round community of expats, remote workers and retirees alongside millions of visitors. Services, flights and dining are well developed, yet the south keeps a calmer pace than the busier west-coast resorts.
Nai Harn
At the island’s southern tip, Nai Harn is a village-scale area wrapped by forested hills, with a lagoon behind the beach and a lakeside path used by joggers and cyclists. Rawai’s fishing-boat pier and seafood restaurants are a short drive away, and Kata and Karon are roughly 15–20 minutes north (approximate).
Nai Harn Beach
A wide crescent of pale sand in a sheltered bay, backed by hills with little high-rise development. It is popular for swimming and paddle-boarding in the dry season, with beach cafés and sunsets. The developer describes it as consistently ranked among Asia’s top five beaches; treat that as developer-stated.
Promthep Cape and the viewpoints
Promthep Cape is Phuket’s best-known sunset viewpoint, with the hilltop windmill lookout nearby. Boat trips to the surrounding islands leave from Rawai, and the area also has yoga studios, Muay Thai gyms, markets and padel courts for everyday life.
Seasons and swimming
The dry season runs roughly November to April, with calm seas and clear skies. In the green season, roughly May to October, there is more rain, waves and rip currents can be strong at the beaches, and swimmers should follow the red-flag warnings.
Restaurants, schools and healthcare
The developer lists restaurants such as Avo Kitchen, Chekhoff and Fresca nearby, international schools and kindergartens including ABC International, Montessori and ISP, and Lyfe Medical for clinics and wellness. Their view is that everything you need is five to ten minutes away.
Distances, travel times and seasons are approximate. Confirm current details locally.

Nai Harn Lake
Windmill viewpointThe everyday matters.
A relocation destination has to work after the holiday feeling wears off. Food, exercise, healthcare, schools, nature, community and simple daily routines become part of the decision.
Tropical living
Space to slow down. Private outdoor space, tropical planting and a lifestyle built around being outside.
Move
Gym, padel court and an active outdoor lifestyle.
Restore
Wellness and recovery as part of everyday life.
Sunny Moon Village
Premium family villas in Nai Harn, each with its own private pool.
A private space integrated into the tropical landscape, designed for living with children and pet-friendly, with smart layouts that avoid unused square metres. Residents also have access to the facilities of the neighbouring Sunny Moon complex, 2 km away, and a shuttle bus runs between the projects and to Nai Harn Beach.

Property is one part of the move.
Thailand offers several immigration routes. The right route depends on age, income, assets, work status and the intended purpose of the stay. Buying a property does not automatically grant residency.
The information below is a high-level guide only and is not immigration, legal, tax or financial advice. Criteria can change and eligibility should be confirmed directly with the relevant Thai authorities or a qualified adviser.
Wealthy Global Citizen
10-year route, LTR
At least US$1 million in assets and at least US$500,000 invested in Thailand, in government bonds, registered Thai company or venture capital shares, or real estate. There is no minimum income requirement. Applicants also need qualifying health insurance or deposits.
Wealthy Pensioner
10-year route, LTR
Retirees aged 50 and over, with pension or passive income of at least US$80,000 a year, or US$40,000–79,999 plus a Thai investment of at least US$250,000 in bonds, company shares or real estate.
Professionals
10-year route, LTR
Work-from-Thailand Professionals need average income of US$80,000 a year (US$40,000 with a master’s degree, IP or Series A funding) and a qualifying overseas employer. Highly Skilled Professionals work in one of the targeted industries or fields in Thailand, on the same income thresholds.
Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

A special tourist visa for remote workers with overseas employers or clients, and for Thai “soft power” activities such as Muay Thai or cooking courses. Stays of 180 days per entry, extendable once by 180 days, with at least THB 500,000 in funds. Fees are set by each embassy, around THB 10,000. It does not allow work for Thai companies or clients.
Retirement visas
Age 50+
Non-Immigrant O-A: up to one year, no work, with THB 800,000 on deposit or THB 65,000 monthly pension income, plus health insurance of at least US$100,000.

SMART Visa
Up to 4 years
A BOI programme for talent (from THB 100,000 a month), executives (THB 200,000 a month and 10 years’ experience), investors (THB 20 million) and startup founders in targeted industries. Up to four years, or two for startups, with a fee of THB 10,000 per year of visa.
Non-Immigrant routes

Permanent residency
The next step
Not a long-stay visa. It typically requires at least three consecutive years on a Non-Immigrant visa and is granted within an annual quota of 100 people per nationality. Time on LTR or retirement routes generally does not lead to it directly.
Cyprus. Mediterranean living.
We are exploring Cyprus as the next destination for Elite Property Listings, with Paphos standing out for its Mediterranean lifestyle, beaches, heritage, outdoor life and established international community.
The Republic of Cyprus currently operates an expedited investor immigration framework that includes qualifying first-sale houses or apartments with a value of at least €300,000 plus VAT, subject to the full eligibility criteria. Property purchase alone does not guarantee a permit.
Candidate development: UNO, Paphos. A potential fit for the EPL relocation collection: 32 luxury apartments in Paphos, with two-bedroom homes currently shown from €490,000 and delivery stated for May 2027.
Choose the place. Then choose the property.
Lifestyle first
We look at the destination as a place to live, not simply a property market.
Selected property
A focused collection of developments rather than an endless list of units.
Residency awareness
We explain the broad routes and introduce buyers to qualified professionals for detailed immigration advice.
Clear introductions
Serious enquiries are introduced to the appropriate developer or property team for current availability, contracts and next steps. We also encourage every buyer to take independent Thai legal advice before committing.
Phuket property and relocation, answered.
Can foreigners buy property in Thailand?
Foreigners can generally own condominium units outright, up to 49% of a project’s total area, but cannot own land directly. Houses and villas are usually held through a registered long lease or another lawful structure, so title and structure should always be checked by an independent Thai lawyer.
Does buying property in Thailand give you residency?
No. Buying property does not on its own grant residency. Some routes take property into account, such as the BOI’s Long-Term Resident visa for Wealthy Global Citizens, which requires US$1 million in assets and US$500,000 invested in Thailand, including real estate. Eligibility depends on the individual.
Which visas allow you to live in Thailand long term?
The main routes include the 10-year LTR visa, the 5-year Destination Thailand Visa for remote workers, retirement visas for those aged 50 and over, Thailand Privilege membership, the SMART Visa, and Non-Immigrant visas for work, marriage or study. See the residency section above for criteria.
