Andamaya Surin Bay

The residences are unusually large by current Phuket condominium standards. Original project material described a range from studios of about 50 sqm and one-bedroom homes around 100 sqm through to penthouses of roughly 386 sqm and a very large sky residence at the top of Building A. The 2026 resale market tells a more nuanced story. Current stock includes one-bedroom homes around 86.7 sqm, two-bedroom units around 106.6 sqm, three-bedroom homes around 154.4 sqm and larger residences above 200 sqm. That variation is not surprising in a boutique completed development where interiors, room divisions and sales descriptions may have evolved over time. It does mean that a generic brochure label is not enough. Buyers should match the advertised floor plan against the registered area, title documents and the physical apartment, particularly where terraces, pools or ancillary spaces form a substantial part of the usable footprint.

Shared facilities are focused rather than extensive. The developer’s project material confirms a 26-metre outdoor pool with a sun deck, a sea-view fitness room, 24-hour security, private road access and covered parking. Building pages also refer to resident use of the common pool and gym, a beach shuttle and transport services on request. Private pools are one of the project’s defining features: the original concept placed them in every residence other than studios. That is attractive for owner-occupiers and holiday-home buyers, but it also creates a larger inspection checklist. Waterproofing, pool finishes, pumps, drainage, exterior surfaces and responsibility for ongoing pool maintenance all matter in a completed property. At Andamaya, these physical checks are more useful than relying on old renderings because the buyer can see what has actually aged well and what may require work.

There is active resale stock in 2026. Home In Phuket showed a one-bedroom 86.74 sqm residence at THB 9,020,960 when checked on 5 September 2026, while other listings for comparable and larger apartments were priced higher. That number should be treated as a lower market marker, not a project-wide starting price. With only 27 residences, pricing is highly sensitive to building position, area, view quality, private pool, renovation, furniture and tenure. A single oversized penthouse can also distort any project average. The more useful comparison is therefore between several live listings with similar ownership status and condition on the same date. A low asking price is only interesting if the title, registered area, common-fee position and physical condition are equally clear.

For a foreign buyer, tenure needs to be confirmed at unit level. Thai condominium law allows qualifying foreign purchasers to hold a condominium unit as freehold, but foreign ownership in the registered condominium is capped at 49% of the total unit area. A current listing at Andamaya is explicitly offered under the foreign quota, showing that foreign freehold exists within the project, but that does not mean every resale unit can transfer in the same way. The condominium juristic person’s foreign-quota confirmation is part of the transfer process. Andamaya’s historic sales material also promoted leasehold with two contractual renewals. A buyer should separate the first registrable lease term, normally up to 30 years, from future renewal promises. Those renewals are contractual rights that must be reviewed in the actual agreement; they should not be treated as the legal equivalent of an automatically registered 90-year title.

The strongest argument for Andamaya today is that it can be judged as a real home rather than a concept. A viewing can reveal the steepness of the access, traffic and noise, the condition of façades and common areas, lift operation, parking practicality, water pressure, air-conditioning, pool condition and the true sea outlook. The completed status also makes due diligence more apartment-specific. Two homes in the same building may have different renovation histories, furniture packages, title structures, outstanding common charges and maintenance needs. This is a project where the selected unit and its documents matter more than the general sales narrative. Andamaya is a credible match for buyers who want a spacious sea-view residence in a private, low-density setting and are comfortable with a hillside lifestyle. It is less obvious for someone who wants a flat walk to the beach, a large resort amenity programme or a highly standardised small unit with many comparable transactions.
