Cape Yamu represents Phuket’s most exclusive residential address, occupying a private peninsula on the island’s serene east coast with panoramic views across Phang Nga Bay. Located just 25 minutes from Phuket International Airport, this ultra-luxury enclave offers a distinct alternative to the west coast’s busier resort areas.
The cape is defined by extreme scarcity. Only a handful of freehold waterfront estates remain available, with properties ranging from $2 million to $58 million. Development is intentionally low-density, preserving the natural landscape and ensuring privacy for residents. Notable projects include Cape Yamu Residences, The Headlands Cape Yamu and COMO Point Yamu Branded Residences, both designed by internationally acclaimed architects.
Cape Yamu attracts ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking discretion, architectural excellence, and waterfront access. The nearby Ao Po Grand Marina accommodates superyachts over 100 metres, whilst the cape’s elevated position provides uninterrupted views of limestone karsts and turquoise waters. Properties typically feature expansive plots (4,000-6,000 sqm), infinity pools, private yacht mooring, and turnkey management services.
Investment fundamentals are strong. Rental yields reach 8-10% for branded villas, whilst capital appreciation averaged 30-40% over the past five years. The combination of limited supply, proximity to key infrastructure, and growing demand from international buyers positions Cape Yamu as Phuket’s premier ultra-luxury residential market.
