Espana condo

Espana condo is a low-rise, resort-style development in the southern part of Jomtien; its official name is Espana Condo Resort Pattaya. It was built by Blue Sky Group, a developer known in Pattaya for themed condo resorts such as Atlantis and Venetian. The project was completed in 2018 and comprises 7 buildings of 8 storeys with, according to most sources, 1,094 units on a plot of 12.5 rai (about 20,000 sq m). Espana condo in Jomtien, Pattaya is styled as a Mediterranean, Spanish-themed resort, and its main feature is the large pool area running between the buildings.

Location

The complex stands on the southern stretch of Jomtien Second Road, between the beach and Sukhumvit Road. On the map Jomtien Beach is about 750 m away in a straight line: it is walkable, but this is not a beachfront address. Sukhumvit Road is roughly 500 m away, which makes for easy trips towards Sattahip, Bangkok and U-Tapao airport. The Big Market Jomtien is about 800 m away and Chaiyapruek Road about 1.1 km; Pattaya Floating Market and the Underwater World aquarium are a short drive. This is a quieter, less touristy end of Jomtien, and having your own transport is handy for trips into the city centre.

Facilities

• a lagoon-style communal pool with waterfall, jacuzzi and water slides
• children's pool, kids' zones and a playground
• gym and sauna
• clubhouse, lobby, library and games room
• gardens and seating areas between the buildings
• shop and café on site
• key-card access, 24-hour security, CCTV and parking

Apartments

The layouts are designed for resort living: studios of about 24 sq m, one-bedroom units of about 35 sq m and two-bedroom units of 70 to 77 sq m. More Property currently lists 70 sq m apartments here. The buildings are low, so the typical outlook is over the pools, gardens and neighbouring streets rather than the sea. Resale units are usually offered furnished and equipped, but it is worth confirming what is included with each one.

Who it suits

Espana condo is for people who want a resort atmosphere and extensive grounds with pools: family holidays with children, wintering and seasonal stays. The compact studios and one-bedroom units are often bought to let. It is a large community of more than a thousand apartments, which is worth bearing in mind if you prefer small buildings, and anyone who wants to live right by the sea or in the middle of the action should weigh up the distance from the beach and the city. In Thai condominiums up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
