Essence Residencecondos in Rawai, Phuket

Essence Residence is an apartment development by Harmony Group near the Rawai promenade in southern Phuket. The grounds have two swimming pools, including a rooftop infinity pool, a gym with panoramic views, an on-site restaurant, children's areas, a concierge-style lobby, and underground parking with EV charging. Completion is set for the fourth quarter of 2026.

There is only one studio size here, 52.7 sqm, which almost matches the one-bedroom range of 52.3 to 53.5 sqm. At that boundary, the choice comes down to layout, not floor area. Two-bedroom units, by contrast, stretch widely, from 80.8 to 125.5 sqm — real choice of size only appears in the family format.

If you are going to live here

The catalogue carries no nearby places for this object. But the grounds already include children's areas and a restaurant, and mountain or ocean views are stated by the developer — the mix is built for more than a tourist, extending to a family choosing a two-bedroom with real room to spare.

If you are buying to let

Rawai is an area with steady rental demand by the promenade and the sea. The studio and the one-bedroom here are almost indistinguishable in size — exactly the compact format short-stay income is built on. The larger two-bedroom units suit a longer holiday or a family of tenants.

If you are holding for capital growth

Completion is due at the end of 2026, so most of the construction-stage gain has already been taken. Harmony Group is already carrying the project through to handover, and Rawai is an established area in the south of the island, which favours liquidity after handover rather than fast price growth at entry.
