Surfhouse Residencescondos in Choeng Thale, Phuket

Surfhouse Residences is a seven-storey condominium developed by Sala Hospitality Group in Choeng Thale, on the Bang Tao side of Phuket, due for completion in the first quarter of 2027. The developer runs hotels under its own name rather than only building housing, which matters more for who ends up managing a unit here than for how it looks on plan.

The two-bedroom units all share one fixed footprint, 117.3 m², with no variation between them, while the three-bedroom units range from 138.9 up to 164.9 m² — the largest measures nearly a fifth more than the smallest. A two-bedroom buyer here gets the identical layout as every other two-bedroom owner; a three-bedroom buyer is choosing a position inside a real range.

If you are going to live here

Seven floors keeps the building low-rise rather than a tower, which the developer offers as its point of difference on this stretch of coast. It is not a beach walk: Bang Tao Beach sits close to three kilometres away, so daily life here runs on a car or the estate's own transport rather than sandals at the door. The fixed two-bedroom layout suits a couple who wants no decisions to make about size; the three-bedroom range gives a family room to pick.

If you are buying to let

A developer that already operates hotels rather than only sells apartments is the fact that matters most here: Sala Hospitality Group's own hospitality business is the closest thing in this dossier to a management track record, even where no specific rental programme for this address is named. The distance to the beach argues against a purely nightly, walk-to-the-sand pitch — a tenant here is choosing the building and its management as much as the sand.

If you are holding for capital growth

Completion is still well over a year away, so the construction-stage gain has not yet been taken and a pre-completion entry is still open. What supports the case afterwards is a small, low-rise building rather than a large tower's worth of competing resales, and a developer whose main business is hospitality rather than one-off residential projects.
