Q1 – Why is Land Near Mai Khao Beach, Phuket So Expensive?

Panwa: This is an excellent question — “Why is land near Mai Khao Beach, Phuket so expensive?”
The answer lies in several key factors: location, development, scarcity, and future potential.
Here’s a breakdown

1. Location — “Close to the sea, close to the airport”
   Mai Khao Beach is located along the northern coastline of Phuket, offering major advantages:
   – Only 5–10 minutes from Phuket International Airport
   – A long, quiet beach ideal for luxury resorts and private villas
   – Close to Nai Yang Beach, Naithon Beach, and Sirinat National Park, all of which are natural and less crowdedTherefore, it’s considered a “prime location” that combines convenience with privacy — attracting high-end investors.
2. Luxury Development Demand
   The area hosts many five-star projects, such as:
   – JW Marriott Phuket
   – Anantara Mai Khao
   – Holiday Inn Resort
   – Grand West Sands
   – Centara Grand West Sands
   These developments significantly boost surrounding land values, as the zone caters mainly to premium resorts and pool villas, rather than high-rise condos or mid-range housing.
3. Scarcity of Land
   Beachfront or near-beach land in Phuket, especially along the west coast (Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Kamala, Patong), is extremely limited because:
   – Most plots have already been developed
   – Remaining areas are often subject to zoning restrictions, forest reserves, or conservation zones
   Thus, plots located within 1 km from the beach are extremely rare — and prices rise sharply with proximity to the sea.
4. Future Potential
   – Phuket continues to attract high-end tourism and long-term foreign residents, supported by programs such as the LTR Visa and Digital Nomad schemes.
   – Plans for Phuket Airport 2 (in Phang-Nga Province) are underway, which will spread development northward toward Mai Khao.
   – The Mai Khao area still has strong growth potential for hotels, wellness retreats, and residential villas.
5. Current Market Prices (Approx. 2025)
   – Beachfront land (prime plots): 60–150 million THB per rai
   – Near the beach (within 500 m): 15–40 million THB per rai
   -Within 1 km from the beach: 8–20 million THB per rai

(Prices vary depending on frontage, access roads, and sea views.)
