Dubai to Phuket, non-stop. A second base, green and calm.

Hotel-brand and premium residences on a green stretch of the Andaman coast — condominiums held freehold in your own name, villas on a registered lease — from $150,000 (≈ AED 550.9K). Twenty minutes on a video call with our experts, then one viewing day when you are ready.

Keep the base you have. Add a green one.

A second foothold — another country, another climate, a place where the family can spend a summer. Phuket is a direct flight from Dubai, with freehold condominiums in your own name and, in the hotel-brand projects, an operator who looks after the home between your visits.

A second base

Not a move. A second address.

Life in the Emirates works for the people who live there: the work is here, the schools are here, the friends are here. What many residents add to it is a second place — green, with the sea in front of it and a different rhythm — which the family can use for a summer, a school break or a long winter, and which stays in the portfolio between visits.

Phuket is one direct flight away. Emirates flies Dubai to Phuket every day; on the September 2026 schedule the outbound flight leaves at 02:30 and lands at 12:00 local time, about six and a half hours in the air, and Air Arabia flies from Sharjah. Phuket is three hours ahead of the UAE. Timetables change by season, so look at the airline before you book.

The island has what a family base needs: international schools such as BISP and HeadStart, mosques and halal restaurants, and long beaches along the west coast. The dry season runs roughly from November to April; from May to October it rains more, and the island is greener and quieter.

What you buy is easy to describe: a condominium whose price is published, a payment plan that follows construction, and a title registered at the Land Office within the building’s quota for foreign owners. The premium residences carry the names of hotel groups; two entry-level projects begin from $150,000.

Why Phuket

A calm island that is simple to reach

What a second base asks of its place: a direct flight, ownership you can hold in your own name, a climate for the months you are not in the Gulf, and an operator for the months you are away.

Non-stop, every day

Emirates flies Dubai to Phuket daily and Air Arabia flies from Sharjah — book it yourself, the way you book a holiday. Phuket keeps a clock three hours ahead of the UAE.

19,000+380+ projects

Published prices, staged payments

Our live catalogue follows the whole Thai market, and 290+ of its projects are on Phuket. Prices are published per project, and payments usually follow the stages of construction; we set out each plan in writing.

An island for the whole family

International schools (BISP, HeadStart), mosques and halal restaurants, and the long family beaches of the west coast. Ask us for the details of any school you shortlist.

Thirty days without a visa, longer routes beyond

Since 15 September 2026 holders of many passports — among them the UAE, India, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Jordan — can stay 30 days without a visa, with one extension possible. The rule follows your passport, not your UAE residence, so check yours. Longer stays run through the Destination Thailand Visa, the Long-Term Resident visa or Thailand Privilege.

Freehold, as you know it

In a condominium the title deed can carry your name, as long as foreign owners together stay within the building’s 49% quota; it is registered at the Land Office. Villas are held on a registered lease or through a Thai company. We explain which applies before you pay a deposit.

Looked after between visits

In a hotel-brand residence the operator can rent, host, maintain and report while you are away, and you keep the keys for your own weeks. Income depends on occupancy and is not guaranteed unless the contract says so.

Premium residences and villas, and two entry points

Eight projects from our catalogue for residents of the UAE: six premium residences and villas, and two projects at the entry level. Shown for the units from $150,000.

How we meet

A video call from wherever you are. A viewing day when you want one.

Twenty minutes is enough to start: you tell us the budget, the purpose — family summers, diversification, a home to let — and the horizon, and we send the projects that fit with prices and payment plans. If you want to see the island, the viewing day is one day with a car at the airport; the flight from Dubai lands around midday. The call is in English.

  • 20 minutes, at a time you choose
  • A video call, led in English

What residents of the UAE ask us

Can I enter Thailand without a visa on my passport?

It depends on the passport, not on your UAE residence. From 15 September 2026 the visa-free stay is 30 days for citizens of about sixty countries, a list that includes the UAE, India, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Jordan. One 30-day extension can be requested at immigration.

For other passports, check the Thai embassy’s list before you book; the rules change.

Can a foreigner own an apartment on Phuket?

Yes. In a condominium the title deed can carry a foreigner’s name, provided foreign owners together stay within the building’s 49% quota; it is registered at the Land Office.

For villas and land the usual forms are a registered long lease or ownership through a Thai company. Our entry-level projects open at $150,000 (≈ AED 550.9K).

How do I transfer the money from the UAE?

By international transfer in foreign currency from your bank to the developer’s account. The receiving bank issues a Foreign Exchange Transaction form, which the Land Office asks for at registration. If the money comes from an account elsewhere, the route is agreed with your bank and our lawyer before the reservation.

Some home countries set their own rules for money sent abroad, and passport countries differ on tax; Thailand taxes foreign income brought in by someone resident there for 180 days or more. Ask your bank or adviser first.

Does buying a home give me residence in Thailand?

No. Buying property in Thailand does not by itself bring a visa or residence.

Longer stays have their own routes: the Destination Thailand Visa, the Long-Term Resident visa (it has asset requirements) and Thailand Privilege membership. We lay out the options; for immigration advice you need an immigration lawyer.

How long is the direct flight from Dubai?

About six and a half hours. On the September 2026 schedule Emirates leaves Dubai at 02:30 and lands in Phuket at 12:00 local time; Air Arabia flies from Sharjah. Phuket is three hours ahead of the UAE.

Timetables change by season, so check the airline.

Is Phuket suitable for Muslim families?

In practice, yes: mosques, halal restaurants and local Muslim communities are part of the island. Tell us whether you want a beachfront address or a quieter one, and we shortlist accordingly.

Tell us whether you prefer a beachfront address or a quieter one, and what matters to your household — we check each project against it.

How do service charges compare with those at home?

Common-area fees and the sinking fund are set per building. We send both figures in writing for each project, so you can set them next to the service charge you pay now.

Government fees for registration and bank charges for the transfer are one-off costs we list in the same paper.

Can I rent it out while I am away?

In the hotel-brand projects the operator can run the rentals under a programme and report to you. Income depends on occupancy and is not guaranteed unless the contract says so.

Short-term letting follows each building’s rules and local regulation; we explain the position per project before you reserve.

Are there good international schools?

Yes. BISP and HeadStart are among them. Each publishes its own fees, which change every year.

Tell us which schools you are considering and we send their current fee lists.

Can I buy without travelling first?

Yes. You can reserve and sign the sale contract from the Emirates. The title is registered at the Land Office when the building is complete — in person, or through an attorney you appoint.

A viewing day still tells you more than a brochure, and we will plan it around your calendar.

A calm island, a direct flight, an address in your own name

Tell us when you are free for a call from the Emirates. A viewing day in Phuket can follow, once the numbers make sense.
