Sunshine Beach Condotel

Sunshine Beach Condotel is a beachfront high-rise in Na Jomtien, south of Pattaya. The single 32-storey tower was completed in 1995 and, according to property portals, holds 357 units. It belongs to the earlier generation of Pattaya seafront buildings, with generous floor plans, its own access to the sand and a large garden plot facing the water. Sunshine Beach Condotel in Na Jomtien, Pattaya appeals mainly to buyers who want open views of the bay and a quiet setting away from the tourist centre.

Location

The building stands on the southern stretch of Na Jomtien Beach, administratively in Na Chom Thian subdistrict of Sattahip district. The plot runs right down to the sand, while the tower itself is about 130 m from the waterline on the map, with the pool and gardens in between. Its neighbours along the shore are the Ambassador City Jomtien resort to the north and the Mövenpick Siam Hotel Na Jomtien to the south. Sukhumvit Road is about 500 m inland, with songthaews running towards Pattaya and Sattahip. Mimosa Pattaya and the Ocean Marina yacht harbour are roughly 1 km away in a straight line, Pattaya Floating Market is about 4 km, the Columbia Pictures Aquaverse water park about 6 km and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden about 8 km. Walking Street and central Pattaya are some 11 km away, so city life means a drive.

Apartments

The standard unit is a 56 sq m studio with a balcony, and this is the format currently listed in the More Property catalogue. Combined units are common: two adjoining studios make a one-bedroom apartment of 112 sq m, and there are two-bedroom homes of around 132–150 sq m and three-bedroom ones of up to 188 sq m. The height of the tower and its position by the water give wide views over the Gulf of Thailand from many floors. As this is an older building, the condition and fit-out of individual apartments vary a great deal: some have been fully renovated, others keep their original interiors, which is worth checking at a viewing.

Who it suits

Sunshine Beach Condotel is chosen for permanent living and long winter stays by the sea: large floor areas, direct beach access and a calm neighbourhood of resort hotels. As a rental, it works for guests looking for a beach holiday without noise. Buyers who want brand-new communal areas and plenty of shops and cafés on the doorstep should weigh up the age of the building and the distance from the centre. In Thai condominiums up to 49% of the saleable area can be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
