1-Bed 28 sqm Apartment at The Title Sierra, Bang Tao

At 28 sqm, this is the smallest and cheapest way into The Title Sierra, a new resort-style condominium in Bang Tao. The second-floor unit has one bedroom, one bathroom and an outlook over the pool.

The Title Sierra comprises three low-rise buildings close to Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket, the Laguna area and the supermarkets of Cherng Talay, with the beach a short ride away. Facilities are extensive for the price bracket: rooftop swimming pool, landscaped gardens, fitness centre, spa and sauna, cinema room, co-working space, kids' play area and dedicated pet-friendly floors, all within a managed, secure community.

Sold leasehold from a developer with a long Phuket track record, it is an investor's unit first — compact, easy to let and inexpensive to hold — though it also works as a simple single-person base.
