Grand Kata VIP — Apartments in Kata

Grand Kata VIP: a completed condominium within walking distance of Kata Beach

Grand Kata VIP was built by VIP Thailand (Phuket9 Co., Ltd.) and completed in December 2018. The seven-storey building holds 209 residences in the centre of Kata, one of the most popular resort areas on the west coast. It runs as a resort-style residence: owners have access to managed services and can place their unit in a rental programme.

The building is finished and occupied, so buyers can view a real unit, check the outlook and the condition of the common areas before committing.

Residence types

The developer offered one, two and three bedroom apartments. Each has a living area, a kitchen with breakfast bar and a private balcony, and some ground floor units open straight onto the pool. Today the resale market mostly offers one and two bedroom units.

One bedroom

From 36 to 60 m². Listed prices start from 4.6M ฿. Tenure varies, with both foreign quota and leasehold units on the market, so it is worth checking for each unit.

Two bedrooms

About 60 m² with two bathrooms, listed from 6.8M ฿.

Facilities

• Ground floor pool and a rooftop infinity pool
• Pool bars and a restaurant
• Fitness centre and kids club
• Underground parking, 24-hour security and CCTV
• Concierge, housekeeping, maintenance and rental management

Agencies report a common area fee of 60 ฿ per m².

The Kata area

Kata lies on the south-west coast of Phuket. It has two beaches: the larger Kata Yai, a surf spot in the rainy season, and the quieter Kata Noi. Kata and Karon beaches, an evening seafood market, restaurants, cafes and shops are all within walking distance, and the famous viewpoint over three bays is nearby. The area appeals to families and anyone who wants to live by the sea without the bustle of Patong.

Buying terms

The building is a registered condominium, so foreigners can own units freehold within the 49% quota. Once the quota is used, deals go through leasehold. We check the status of each unit before purchase.

Investment outlook

A completed unit near the beach can earn from day one, with no construction wait. The in-house rental management makes letting simpler for owners who live abroad. Sources do not state a yield, so we estimate returns for each specific unit.
