COMPLETION

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Van Vooren Naka Island is a completed villa development on Cape Yamu (Laem Yamu), a quiet, exclusive headland on Phuket's north-east coast in the Pa Khlok area. It suits privacy-focused buyers, boat owners and families who want a serene bay-view home rather than a busy west-coast tourist address. As a delivered project, it appeals to buyers who prefer to see and move into a finished house rather than wait on off-plan construction.

The homes and who they suit

The project is built around private houses and villas designed for low-density, resort-style living. This format works best for long-stay owners, remote professionals and second-home buyers who value space, indoor-outdoor living and a calm setting close to the water. Because Cape Yamu is a small enclave of luxury villas and boutique residences, the neighbourhood keeps a tranquil, uncrowded feel year-round. Owners who plan to let the home can consider both a short-let holiday model and a long-let residential model, depending on how much of the year they use it themselves. You can compare current villa/houses for sale in Cape Yamu to see how this project sits within the wider zone.

Location, access and lifestyle

Cape Yamu faces the sheltered, tranquil waters of Phang Nga Bay, prized for calm sea, mangroves, island views and sunsets over the bay rather than surf. Nearby landmarks include the COMO Point Yamu resort on the cape tip, Ao Po Grand Marina and Naka Island, making the area a natural base for yachting and boat owners. It is roughly 25 to 30 minutes to Phuket International Airport and about 30 minutes to Phuket Town, with Boat Lagoon and Royal Phuket Marina close by. Phuket's classic sandy swimming beaches and the nightlife of Patong sit on the west coast, reached by car, along with the island's main golf courses.

Ownership and buyer fit

As a villa and land project, the property sits on Thai land, so foreign buyers typically hold it through a registered 30-year leasehold or a Thai company structure rather than outright freehold, which is reserved for condominium units within the 49% foreign quota. This makes Van Vooren Naka Island a fit for buyers who want a finished bay-side home in a private, low-density corner of Phuket and understand the leasehold or company ownership route for houses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Van Vooren Naka Island — buyer FAQ

How can foreigners own a villa at Van Vooren Naka Island?

Van Vooren Naka Island is a villa and house project on Thai land, so foreign buyers cannot hold the land as freehold. The common routes are a registered 30-year leasehold or ownership through a Thai company. Outright foreign freehold applies only to condominium units within the 49% foreign quota, not to houses like these.

Where is Van Vooren Naka Island located in Phuket?

The project sits on Cape Yamu, a quiet headland on Phuket's north-east coast in the Pa Khlok area, facing the calm waters of Phang Nga Bay. It is close to Ao Po Grand Marina, the COMO Point Yamu resort and Naka Island, roughly 25 to 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

Is Van Vooren Naka Island completed or off-plan?

Van Vooren Naka Island is a completed development, so buyers can view finished houses rather than purchase off-plan and wait for construction. This suits owners who want to move in or begin using the property soon after purchase, without the timeline uncertainty that comes with buying an under-construction project.

What is the nearest beach and golf to Cape Yamu?

Cape Yamu faces the sheltered east-coast bay, so it is not a sandy swimming beach. Phuket's classic west-coast beaches and the busy sands of Patong are reached by car, around 40 minutes away. The island's main golf courses and Phuket Town, about 30 minutes off, are also an easy drive.

Who is Cape Yamu best suited to as a place to live?

Cape Yamu suits privacy-focused buyers, boat owners and families wanting a serene bay-view home rather than a lively tourist beach. Its appeal is calm water, marina access, mangroves and island views. Buyers who prefer quiet exclusivity, yachting and short drives to the airport and marinas find the headland a strong fit.
