The Katabellocondos in Kata, Phuket

The Katabello is a residential complex by Rhom Bho Property PLC in Kata, on Phuket's south-west coast: Dr. Veeva Clinic is 125 metres away, a local market 300 metres, the FamilyMart, Lotus's go fresh and 999 Minimart convenience stores within 450 metres, and Kata Beach Community Park 613 metres. Handover is set for the second quarter of 2027.

The complex is built almost entirely from one-bedroom apartments, and the spread inside that single format is huge — from 28 to 61 m², more than double. Two- and three-bedroom layouts are a handful each and their areas run into one another: 100 to 129 m² for the two-bedrooms and 125 to 138 m² for the three-bedrooms, so the two-bedroom's upper edge nearly meets the three-bedroom's lower one. What the building has none of is anything between 61 and 100 m² — no apartment bridges the gap between a compact one-bedroom and a spacious family format.

If you are going to live here

The clinic is 125 metres away, a market and three convenience stores sit within a five-minute walk, and Kata Beach Community Park is 613 metres out. The infrastructure suits a single owner or a couple in a compact one-bedroom more than a family — there is nothing between 61 and 100 m², and the handful of two- and three-bedrooms won't stretch to everyone who wants one.

If you are buying to let

The dense retail, the clinic at the door, and the nearby beach park favour nightly letting — but only for the one-bedrooms, which make up the vast majority of the building; their spread, 28 to 61 m², covers everything from a compact unit for a solo guest to a roomier one for a couple or a short family stay. The rare two- and three-bedrooms suit a longer-term tenant better.

If you are holding for capital growth

Handover is set for the second quarter of 2027, so part of the construction-stage gain is still ahead. The two- and three-bedroom layouts are each a handful in the building, and there's a gap in the area ladder between them — a unit of that size, once bought, won't be easy to replace with a similar one. Kata remains one of the well-known beach areas of the island's south-west.
