Atlantis Condo Resort holds a particular position on the Jomtien market: that of the most affordable entry ticket into a fully equipped development. With an average observed price of around 55,400 ฿/m², the development sits well below the beachfront schemes, which makes it a recurring candidate for a first buy-to-let. Here is what it is really worth.
The development at a glance
Set in Jomtien, the development is aimed first at families and year-round residents. Its architectural conceit — a nod to ancient Greece — makes it instantly recognisable, which is commercially far from neutral: the place is known, so tenants ask for it by name.
The facilities
- Large lagoon pool with slides and a pirate ship
- Well-equipped gyms
- Landscaped tropical gardens
- Children's playground
- 24-hour security
- Parking in sufficient numbers
The pool is what makes the difference in this segment. In a market where most developments offer a standard pool, a water park of that size is a genuine letting argument with families — and it justifies part of the rent premium.
Buying at Atlantis
| Indicator | Figure |
|---|---|
| Average price per m² | ≈ 55,400 ฿ |
| Unit types available | Studio to two-bedroom |
| Positioning | Entry level, fully equipped |
| Area | Jomtien |
That price level puts Atlantis at roughly half the per-m² figure observed on the beachfront schemes in the area. The gap comes from the relative distance to the beach and from the age of the building — not from inferior build quality.
Investment potential
The reasoning fits into a single sentence: a low purchase price and a rent supported by the facilities produce a gross yield above the local average. That is the classic profile of a yield-driven rental property, as opposed to a prestige property bought for capital growth.
The limits to factor in: resale takes place in a more competitive market than on the beachfront, and the common area fees of a development with heavy facilities are structurally higher. A lagoon pool is expensive to maintain, and that feeds through to the per-m² charge.
The units currently available are listed on the Atlantis Condo Resort Pattaya page, with the breakdown by unit type.
Renting at Atlantis
The development works well as a rental, short and long term alike. Studios and one-bedrooms go first, carried by demand from couples and single tenants who want access to the facilities without a beachfront budget.
Rent levels in Jomtien
| Unit type | Long term | High season, per month |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 9,000 – 14,000 ฿ | 15,000 – 22,000 ฿ |
| 1-bedroom | 13,000 – 20,000 ฿ | 20,000 – 30,000 ฿ |
| 2-bedroom | 20,000 – 32,000 ฿ | 30,000 – 45,000 ฿ |
The gap between the long-term and the high-season rent is where profitability is won. A mixed strategy — long lets from April to October, short lets from November to March — maximises income but demands active management. Our analysis of rental yields in Pattaya puts figures on both approaches.
Renting or buying: the trade-off
| Renting | Buying | |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment | Low, short notice period | Long term |
| Capital tied up | Deposit only | Full price, usually in cash |
| Additional costs | None | 2% transfer fee, lawyer, common area fees |
| Possible income | None | Rent, subject to management |
| Testing the neighbourhood | Yes | No |
The advice stays the same whatever the development: rent before you buy. Six months on site reveal the noise, the aspect, the real quality of the building management and the occupancy rate actually achieved — four things no brochure tells you. The condos to rent in Pattaya make that test possible.
Location and access
The development is a few minutes from Jomtien beach by scooter, with shops, convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance. Pattaya's big shopping centres are fifteen minutes away, the floating market ten.
The point to watch is the dependence on two wheels: without a scooter or a car, daily life becomes a chore. It is the accepted trade-off of every scheme set back from the beach, and it is precisely what explains the price.
Why Jomtien
Jomtien gives Atlantis a favourable setting: six kilometres of usable beach, an expat community settled year-round, international schools along the main road, and prices per m² below Pratumnak and Wong Amat for comparable specification. The area as a whole is covered in our Jomtien Beach guide, and the properties available on the Jomtien property hub.
Before committing to anything, check the availability of the foreign quota in the building: the share held by foreigners cannot exceed 49% of the floor area. The mechanism is set out in our foreign quota guide, and the full buying procedure in the guide to buying a condo in Pattaya.
Daily life at Atlantis
Service charges and the real budget
A development with heavy facilities costs more to run than a standard one. That is the counterweight to the low purchase price, and it belongs in the yield calculation rather than being discovered at the first general meeting.
| Item | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Common area fees | 1,800 – 3,200 ฿ | Charged per m², pushed up by the lagoon pool |
| Electricity | 1,500 – 3,500 ฿ | Depending on air-conditioning use |
| Water | 150 – 400 ฿ | Often rebilled by the building management |
| Internet | 500 – 800 ฿ | Fibre available |
| Sinking fund | One-off | Called for major works |
The point to watch is the sinking fund — a pool of that size means heavy refurbishment every ten to fifteen years. Ask to see the building's accounts and the minutes of the last three general meetings before you buy — that is where you find out whether the building is being managed or left to drift.
Living without a car
The development is set back from the beach. In practice that means a scooter is essential for day-to-day life: roughly 3,000 to 4,000 ฿ a month to rent, or 40,000 to 70,000 ฿ to buy second-hand. Songthaews serve the main road but not every soi, and Grab is there at 60-120 ฿ a ride into the centre.
It is the accepted trade-off of every scheme away from the beachfront, and it is exactly what explains a per-m² price at half the level.
Set against the alternatives
| Atlantis (Jomtien) | The Base (central) | Wongamat beachfront | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price per m² | ≈ 55,400 ฿ | ≈ 110,000 ฿ | The highest |
| Gross yield | The best | Middling | Low |
| Resale liquidity | Average | Good | Good |
| Vehicle needed | Yes | No | Yes |
| Rental target | Families, long term | City types, short stays | Upmarket |
The comparison reads plainly: Atlantis for yield, the centre for liquidity, the beachfront for capital value. All three make sense; they simply do not answer the same question.
Frequently asked questions
Is Atlantis Condo Resort suitable for settling in Pattaya?
Yes, particularly for families and year-round residents. The leisure facilities, the 24-hour security and the Jomtien location — close to international schools and shops — make it a coherent choice for a long stay, provided you have some means of transport.
What facilities does Atlantis Condo Resort offer?
A large lagoon pool with slides and a pirate ship, gyms, landscaped tropical gardens, a children's playground, 24-hour security and plenty of parking. It is the pool that genuinely sets the development apart in its price bracket.
Which unit types are for sale?
From studios to two-bedroom flats, at an average observed price of around 55,400 ฿/m². That level puts Atlantis at roughly half the per-m² price of the beachfront schemes in the same area.
Is investing at Atlantis Condo Resort worthwhile?
The profile is that of a yield property: a low purchase price and a rent supported by the facilities produce a gross yield above the local average. In return, resale happens in a competitive market and the common area fees are high — a lagoon pool is expensive to maintain.
Can you let at Atlantis short term as well as long term?
Yes, both work. Budget 9,000 to 14,000 ฿ a month for a studio on a long let, 20,000 to 32,000 ฿ for a two-bedroom. In high season, from November to March, monthly rents rise by 50 to 60%. A mixed strategy maximises income but calls for active management.
