Acqua Jomtien Condo

Acqua Jomtien Condo, officially Acqua Condominium, is a low-rise residential development in the northern part of Jomtien, set in the block between the beach road and Jomtien Second Road. It was built by The Urban Property, a developer known for its Bangkok projects that later added the Aeras tower on the Jomtien beachfront. Completed in 2014, it consists of 2 buildings of 8 storeys with 309 units. Acqua Jomtien Condo in Jomtien, Pattaya is a city-style address with rooftop pools, within walking distance of both the beach and the night market.

Location

The complex stands on Kwan Mueang Road, a street linking Jomtien Beach Road with Jomtien Second Road, which is just around the corner. Jomtien Beach is about 400 m away – roughly five minutes on foot down the same street. Jomtien Night Market, with its street food and stalls, lies on the way to the sea, about 250 m from the building, and the lanes around are full of cafés, restaurants, massage shops and minimarts. Songthaews (shared pick-up taxis) run along both the beach road and Second Road towards South Pattaya, and Walking Street and the city's shopping malls are around 10 minutes away by car. This is not a front-row building: sea views are partial and limited to the upper floors.

Facilities

The signature feature of Acqua is its three swimming pools: a large one at ground level in the centre of the complex and two on the rooftops, next to the sky garden and viewpoint.

• three pools, two of them on the roof
• rooftop garden with a viewpoint and barbecue area
• gym, sauna and steam room
• children's room, games room with pool and table-tennis tables, library
• lobby and a co-working and meeting space
• underground parking and 2 lifts in each building
• 24-hour security, CCTV and key-card access

Apartments

The mix covers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments ranging from roughly 35 to 76 sq m. More Property's current listings here run from 38 to 70 sq m. Units face the pool, the garden or the surrounding streets, and there are partial sea views from the higher floors and the rooftop. The condition and furnishing of resale apartments vary from owner to owner, so it is worth comparing several options in both buildings.

Who it suits

Acqua appeals to buyers who want a compact, modern building near the beach without insisting on a front-row position – for year-round living, wintering or several trips a year. Being able to walk to the sea, the market and public transport also makes the apartments a straightforward option for letting, whether seasonal or long-term. Families will appreciate the children's room and the secure, guarded grounds. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
