Overview
Park Royal 3 is a stylish twin-building residential project completed in 2012. Located in a tranquil pocket of Pratumnak Soi 6, it represents the third evolution of the "Park Royal" series by Heights Holdings. The project features two 8-story buildings designed with a modernist, step-pattern aesthetic by architect Mario Kleff, utilizing structural engineering concepts that allow for expansive glass walls and minimal internal columns.
The project is famous for its dual-level relaxation zones. Residents can choose between a private, secluded ground-floor pool surrounded by tropical greenery or a more social rooftop experience featuring a jacuzzi, sun-deck, and artificial grass gardens with 360-degree views of Pratumnak Hill and the Gulf of Thailand. With only 140 units, it maintains a quiet, residential atmosphere favored by long-term stays over short-term tourists.
Developer
Developed by Heights Holdings (Vistas Development Co., Ltd.), a dominant player in the Pattaya market with a track record of over 15 major projects (Unixx, Wong Amat Tower). Park Royal 3 is often cited as one of their most balanced boutique developments, combining a prime hilltop location with better-than-average communal facilities and a high-spec "Boutique" furniture package that includes high-gloss Western kitchens.
Location & Transit
Situated on Soi 6, the building is in the quieter "south-western" part of Pratumnak Hill, closer to the border of Jomtien.

Pros
- Exceptional Value — Rental and purchase prices are roughly 40% lower than the Pratumnak district average for this square footage.
- Quiet Residential Vibe — Tucked away at the end of Soi 6, ensuring minimal traffic noise.
- Superior Unit Size — 45 sqm for a entry-level unit provides a "proper home" feel missing in 24sqm high-rises.
- Beach Proximity — An easy, flat 400m walk to one of the hill's best beaches.
Cons
- Logistics Required — It's a significant walk (1.2km) to the main public transport; a motorbike is essential for daily life.
- Management Variance — As a 2012 build, the quality of individual units depends on the owner's maintenance.
- Limited Guest Parking — While residents have underground spots, guest parking is very restricted.
Best For
- Long-stay Retirees who want a spacious, quiet home near a swimmable beach.
- Remote Workers who need a larger desk setup and value a quiet, green neighborhood.
- Budget-conscious Luxury Seekers who want 5-star facilities at a 3-star price point.
The Bottom Line
Park Royal 3 is "The Value-Luxury Choice." It successfully offers the prestige of a Pratumnak Hill address and Mario Kleff's designer aesthetics without the super-luxury price tag of the clifftop towers. While you trade off easy public transport access for peace and quiet, the combination of 45 sqm units and dual pools makes it one of the most stable and attractive low-rise addresses in Pattaya for 2026.
