Phuket · The marina and the islands
Ao Po sits on Phuket's northeast coast, facing the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay. It is the island's main deep-water yachting base and the launch point for the bay, and it has developed around that rather than around a beach.
Marina-adjacent residences, hillside villas with bay and island views, and land plots. A small, specialised market where the boat is often the reason for the purchase.
Not a beach destination — the coast here is mangrove and marina rather than sand. The attraction is the water access and the view across to the islands.
Thin and specialised. Rental demand is tied to the yachting calendar rather than to general tourism, and should not be assumed to behave like a west-coast holiday let.
About 30 minutes to the airport across the north of the island. Bang Tao and the west coast are 30 to 40 minutes; Phuket Town about 30.
Boat owners and charterers, and buyers who want Phang Nga Bay views away from the tourist coast.
If you are not using the marina, most of what you are paying for is a view. Assess it as a lifestyle purchase rather than a rental asset.
Marina-adjacent residences vary: some carry condominium title with freehold eligibility, others are leasehold, and land plots are lease-only for foreign buyers. If a berth is part of the deal, check whether it transfers with the property or is licensed separately.

No price list, no development names on this page — by design. Those are worth going through one to one, when we know what you are working with.
