ABOUT THE PROJECT

Pura Vida Villas in Nai Yang, Phuket

Pura Vida Villas is a completed low-rise, low-density villa community set in Nai Yang, on the quiet northern coast of Phuket. The project appeals to buyers who value calm surroundings, a genuine local atmosphere and effortless access to the rest of the island. Homes here sit within a landscaped, walkable setting rather than a dense high-rise cluster, which keeps the community feeling private and residential. Every home is designed for the tropical climate, with indoor-outdoor living, private pools and generous garden space typical of a Phuket villa lifestyle.

Location and Connectivity

The stand-out feature of Nai Yang is proximity to Phuket International Airport, reachable in roughly five to ten minutes by car. This makes Pura Vida Villas especially practical for frequent flyers, remote workers who travel often and expat families who want to shorten the journey between the terminal and their front door. Nai Yang Beach lies inside Sirinat National Park, a protected stretch of calm water with no jet-skis and a relaxed, local feel shaded by casuarina trees. Nai Thon Beach is a short five-to-ten-minute drive south, while the Bang Tao and Laguna area with its restaurants, golf and international schools is around fifteen to twenty minutes away. Phuket Town, for administrative errands and larger shopping, sits about thirty-five to forty minutes from the community.

Who It Suits

Because Nai Yang trades nightlife density for tranquillity, Pura Vida Villas draws frequent flyers, remote workers, long-stay expats and families seeking a stable base. The low-density format means fewer neighbours, more privacy and a slower pace than the busier west-coast beaches, yet the airport and Laguna hubs remain close. Buyers looking for a permanent residence, a lock-and-leave second home or a manageable holiday retreat all find the location workable.

Availability and Buying

Pura Vida Villas is currently sold out, so there are no developer units on the active market. Resale homes from existing owners appear from time to time, and our team can register your interest and alert you when one becomes available. If you would like to compare current options in the same area while you wait, browse other villas for sale in Nai Yang to understand the local market before you commit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Pura Vida Villas — buyer FAQ

Are any Pura Vida Villas units currently for sale?

Pura Vida Villas is a completed project that is now sold out, so no developer units are available on the market. Resale homes from existing owners occasionally come up. We can register your interest and notify you the moment a resale villa becomes available in the community.

How do foreigners own a villa at Pura Vida Villas?

Foreign buyers typically own the villa building outright as freehold, while the land is held on a registered 30-year leasehold. Following Supreme Court ruling 4655/2566 dated 18 March 2025, nominee land-holding structures are prohibited, so buyers should use lawful leasehold or company arrangements verified by a Thai property lawyer.

How far is Pura Vida Villas from Phuket International Airport?

The airport is roughly five to ten minutes by car, which is the main draw of the Nai Yang area. This short transfer suits frequent flyers, remote workers and expat families who travel often, making arrivals and departures far quicker than from most other residential zones on the island.

What beaches are near Pura Vida Villas?

Nai Yang Beach sits inside Sirinat National Park, a calm, protected stretch with no jet-skis and a relaxed local feel. Nai Thon Beach is a five-to-ten-minute drive south. The lively Bang Tao and Laguna area with dining and golf is around fifteen to twenty minutes away by car.

Is Nai Yang a good place to live long-term?

Nai Yang suits buyers who prefer a quiet, low-density residential setting over busy nightlife. It is popular with expats, remote workers and families thanks to its calm beaches, national-park surroundings and quick airport access, while Laguna's schools, restaurants and amenities remain a short drive away.
