Selina Serenity Resort & Residences: apartments in Rawai

Selina Serenity: residences right on the Rawai shore

Selina Serenity Resort & Residences sits at the water's edge on the east coast of Rawai with direct beach access. It was completed in December 2007 and combines 60 units: apartments, penthouses and four-storey villas. The four-storey buildings step down towards the sea, and the pools are designed so the water seems to merge with the bay.

Most residential projects in the south of the island sit inland, a short drive from the sea. Here the sea begins just past the pool edge, and that is what sets Serenity apart from its neighbours. Size is the second difference: even a one bedroom unit covers about 120 m², comparable to a small house. The complex runs like a resort with a reception, restaurant and spa, so it suits people who want to live by the sea with services and without handling the household themselves.

The area

The complex is reached from Wiset Road, the main street of the district, via a short lane down to the sea.

Rawai sits at the southern tip of Phuket and is known for a calm way of life away from tourist crowds. The coast is lined with seafood restaurants, boat piers for island trips and a fish market. Nai Harn and Ya Nui are the go-to swimming beaches, while Promthep Cape and Chalong temple with the Big Buddha are a short drive away. The area has plenty of supermarkets, cafes, gyms, yoga studios and clinics.

Buying terms

Foreign quota units are bought freehold in the buyer's name. Some units are offered in the Thai quota or leasehold, and each listing states the tenure. On the resale market payment is made at the Land Office transfer, where the standard transfer fee is 2% of the appraised value.
