Pandora Residences — Apartments in Rawai

Pandora Residences: a boutique sea view address in Rawai

Pandora Residences was developed by Harmony Group and completed in December 2017. It is an intimate project of two low-rise buildings with just 14 residences on a green hillside in Rawai. Residences look out over the Andaman Sea, the islands off Rawai and the hills of southern Phuket.

The architecture is modern: light facades, dark accents, timber ceilings over the terraces and plenty of green walls. At the heart of the project is a freeform pool with a children's area and a sun deck.

Residence types

All residences have three bedrooms but differ in scale: two-level premium apartments and three-level luxury residences.

Premium apartments, duplex

From 155 to 222 m², three bedrooms, a private balcony and access to the communal pool.

Luxury residences, triplex

From 310 to 338 m², three bedrooms, a lounge, a terrace with barbecue area, balconies and a private jacuzzi.

Three bedroom penthouse

Penthouses of the L4 and L6 layouts are on sale at 250–252 m² with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Prices start from 15.8M ฿, with the second unit at 18.04M ฿, both freehold.

Facilities

• Large pool and children's pool
• Clubhouse and sun deck
• Gym
• Shuttle to Nai Harn and Ya Nui beaches
• 24-hour security, CCTV
• Parking, gardens, housekeeping and property management

The area

Rawai is at the southern tip of Phuket. It is a calm area popular with expats: a seafront with a fish market and cafes, a pier for boats to the islands, and nearby Nai Harn and Ya Nui beaches and the Promthep Cape viewpoint. The area has many restaurants, shops, spas and sports clubs, as well as international schools.

Buying terms

Penthouses in the current price list are sold freehold. Leasehold units also appear on the resale market, so we check the tenure of each residence. Under the developer's price list, payments go to the developer:

• 500,000 ฿ reservation
• 5% on booking
• 35% after signing the contract
• 30% four months and 30% eight months after signing

Transaction costs

When buying a completed unit, title is registered at the Phuket Land Office. The standard transfer fee is 2% of the appraised value, and the seller pays either 3.3% specific business tax or 0.5% stamp duty. The split of costs between the parties is set in the contract.

Investment outlook

Large three bedroom sea view residences are scarce in Rawai, and a project of 14 units offers the privacy long-stay families look for. The developer publishes no yield figures, so rental potential is assessed for each specific unit, its view and floor.
