Buying property in Ao Po

Ao Po sits on Phuket's quiet north-east coast, looking out over the islands of Phang Nga Bay. Home to one of the island's grand marinas, it's a low-density, upmarket area prized for calm waters, sea-and-island views and a yachting lifestyle away from the tourist west coast.

Why investors like Ao Po

Ao Po offers privacy, marina access and some of Phuket's best island views, with limited, upmarket supply. It appeals to lifestyle owners, boat-owners and premium long-stay tenants who want calm and scenery over nightlife.

The lifestyle

Marina dining, island-hopping from your doorstep, sunrise sea views, and a tranquil, green setting a drive from Phuket Town and the airport.

Who it suits

Lifestyle and sea-view buyers, boating enthusiasts, and investors targeting premium, longer-stay tenants.

Is Ao Po a good place to invest in property?

Ao Po's investment story is scarcity, views and the marina lifestyle: limited upmarket supply on a quiet coast supports values, while the setting attracts longer premium stays rather than high tourist turnover. Keep return expectations realistic: net yields in Phuket generally sit in the mid-single-digits (in the region of 4-5%) rather than the double-digit headline figures some advertise, and they are never guaranteed — your capital is at risk.
