Two beach locations, two resort concepts and 324 apartments. IBG Property has shared a private sales launch announcement for two developments near Karon and Kata beaches. For referring agents, the news offers a reason to revisit enquiries from buyers seeking a smaller development in southern Phuket.
One concept focuses on a quieter, family-oriented stay. The other centres on Kata’s active resort setting, cafés and beach life. The useful starting point is how the buyer plans to use the property, rather than treating either location as suitable for everyone.
Karon: 189 apartments, with a stated 400 m distance to the beach
The announcement describes two seven-storey buildings with 189 apartments near Karon. The stated distance to the beach is 400 metres. The project is positioned for quieter holidays, family stays and longer-term rentals.
Its 23 amenity areas include a 25-metre swimming pool, a panoramic rooftop Sky Pool, a fitness room with Technogym equipment, coworking space, a cinema and a pet park.
The announced layouts include:
- one-bedroom apartments from 31.7 to 37.9 m²;
- one-bedroom Plus apartments from 45 to 47.8 m²;
- two-bedroom apartments and penthouses with views.
For a family buyer, discuss daily routes, pet rules and the intended length of each stay alongside the floor area.
Kata: 135 apartments and a separate clubhouse
The second development comprises a seven-storey residential building with 135 apartments and a separate three-storey clubhouse. The announcement describes walking access to Kata beach and the surrounding resort amenities. Confirm the actual distance and walking route for the project.
The concept focuses on an active holiday setting. Its 25 amenity areas include lounge pools with Jacuzzis, coworking space, a gym, a sauna and a pet-friendly area.
The layout range includes:
- one-bedroom apartments from 31 to 33 m²;
- one-bedroom Plus apartments from 44 to 52 m²;
- two-bedroom apartments and penthouses.
Buyers who prioritise walking to cafés and spending time around the beach can compare this concept with the quieter positioning of the Karon development.

How to read the rental projections
The supplied announcement quotes ranges of THB 30,000 to 150,000 per month for Karon and THB 30,000 to 260,000 per month in high season for Kata. These are projections from the announcement, not verified owner income.
The ranges are not directly comparable without knowing the apartment category, size, season and rental term. They do not establish net returns after costs. Request a unit-specific calculation with occupancy assumptions, management fees and running costs. The property management checklist can help structure that discussion.
Preparing a buyer for the presale
If you already have a buyer looking in Kata or Karon, obtain their consent and add their contact details with a detailed enquiry to the partner account. Include their budget, intended use, preferred size and payment schedule.
Request current layouts, prices, availability and reservation terms. Review progress and feedback in the partner account, and contact the manager when the information you need is not available there.

An early enquiry gives the buyer time to compare options. It does not itself secure a price or reserve an apartment. Those terms need to be confirmed in the relevant documents.
Renderings supplied with the presale announcement
