Overview
Savanna Sands Condo Resort is a visually striking three-tower residential project that brings a unique "African Savanna" theme to Jomtien. Completed around 2018, the development consists of three 26-story towers and an integrated 7-story serviced apartment building. The project is famous for its immersive landscape, featuring triple-tiered pools, artificial waterfalls, and timber bridges that weave through a tropical forest setting.
The "resort living" concept is pushed to its limit here, with the entire 11-rai plot designed to feel like a secluded safari lodge. From the "big cat" statues guarding the entrance to the lazy river that twists around African-themed paths, the building offers a high-concept environment that is particularly popular with short-term holidaymakers and families looking for a photogenic stay.
Developer
Developed by Universal Group Thailand, the same team behind the widely successful Seven Seas series. Universal Group is known for their "themed resort" specialty, focusing on massive water parks and high-density, high-utility buildings. Their strategy targets the affordable luxury market, providing extensive communal facilities and fully furnished units that are specifically optimized for the rental and investment market.

Pros
- Unique Theme โ One of the most creative and visually interesting communal areas in Pattaya.
- Fantastic Water Park โ The lazy river and tiered pools are far superior to standard condo facilities.
- Proximity to Local Life โ Being steps from Wat Boon Market allows for a very affordable "local" lifestyle.
- Fully Furnished โ Units are typically rented/sold with complete themed furniture packages.
Cons
- Distance to Beach โ At 1.2km, it's not a convenient walk in the midday heat; a motorbike is practically a requirement.
- High Density โ With nearly 1,500 units, the elevators and pools can become extremely busy during public holidays.
- Thematic Overload โ The heavy African theme is fun for vacationers but may feel "gimmicky" for long-term residents seeking a neutral home environment.
Best For
- Families with Kids who want an adventure-themed water park on their doorstep.
- Short-term Investors looking for a property that is easy to market on booking platforms.
- Budget Travelers who want 5-star resort facilities at a budget-to-mid-range price point.
The Bottom Line
Savanna Sands is "The Safari Sanctuary." It successfully hides its high-density nature behind a world-class themed landscape. While it sits slightly further from the beach than some might like, the trade-off is one of the most entertaining and unique pool areas in Pattaya. If you have a motorbike and love the resort vibe, this is a top-tier value choice.
