Phuket condo article highlights year-round second-home living in Kamala

A promotional article published on 2 October 2026 has presented condominium living in Phuket as a year-round second-home option, citing the island’s international airport, hospitals, international schools, restaurants, shopping facilities and lifestyle destinations.

The article says Phuket is increasingly being considered for long stays by remote workers, families seeking a second home and people planning for retirement. It describes Patong as lively, Bang Tao as an area with restaurants and beach clubs, and Kamala as quieter and more private.

For people considering a condominium for extended stays, the article recommends assessing location, access to healthcare and everyday services, usable living space, facilities and residence management. It says factors such as supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals, the airport and international schools become more important when stays extend from several days to weeks or months.

It also advises buyers to look beyond bedroom numbers and consider living areas, kitchens, storage, balconies and private space. Swimming pools, fitness areas, gardens and wellness facilities are described as more valuable when they are suitable for regular use. Concierge, housekeeping, maintenance and care of a residence while its owner is away are also highlighted as potentially useful services.

The article highlights The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort, a branded residence developed by PROUD in Kamala. According to the project material, the development occupies about 3 rai, 1 ngan and 40 square wah and contains 111 residences in two seven-storey residential buildings, together with a three-storey facilities building.

The project is about 360 metres, or an estimated five-minute walk, from Kamala Beach. It is about 150 metres from One MontAzure and 1.1 kilometres from Phuket FantaSea, according to the material.

Residence layouts range from one-bedroom units of 59 to 68 square metres and one-bedroom corner units of 58 to 76 square metres, to two-bedroom units of 100 to 134 square metres and three-bedroom units of 203 to 215 square metres.

Larger options include two-bedroom units with private pools measuring 169 to 188 square metres, a 201-square-metre four-bedroom junior penthouse and a 425-square-metre five-bedroom penthouse.

The project’s listed facilities include a 25-metre lap pool with hydrotherapy, a children’s pool, a Technogym fitness centre, Paradise Garden Court, a library and game room, and a meeting room. The development is marketed as combining resort-style living with hotel hospitality and facilities intended for both holidays and longer-term residence.
