Overview
The Riviera Wongamat Beach is a flagship luxury residence by The Riviera Group, completed in 2017. This award-winning twin-tower project (Tower A: 43 floors, Tower B: 40 floors) stands as a symbol of glamour in North Pattaya. It is famous for its "100% Sea View" design philosophy—over 95% of the 979 units enjoy panoramic vistas of Koh Larn and the Gulf of Thailand.
The building is designed to feel like a world-class resort. It features a massive multi-level ground-floor pool area and iconic cantilevered infinity sky pools that provide some of the most dramatic sunset vantage points in the city. Since its launch, it has consistently won "Best Condo Development" awards, cementing its status as a top-tier choice for both residents and investors.
Developer
Developed by The Riviera Group, led by Winston Gale. They are arguably the most successful luxury developer in Pattaya, known for their glamorous architectural statements and exceptional facility-to-unit ratios. Their reputation for quality is reflected in the high resale value and rental demand across their portfolio, which includes The Riviera Jomtien and The Riviera Monaco.

- High Rental Yield — One of the most popular buildings for short-term and long-term rental income.
Cons
- Transit Dependency — Like most of Wongamat, it is a long walk to the main public transport; a motorbike or car is recommended.
- Density — With nearly 1,000 units, the elevators and common areas can be busy during holiday peak seasons.
- Parking Ratio — Parking is limited to 249 spaces (approx. 25% ratio), which can be tight during high occupancy.
Best For
- Social Nomads who want a high-glamour building with world-class facilities and sea views.
- Pet Owners who refuse to compromise on high-rise luxury for their small companions.
- Investors seeking a "blue chip" asset with consistent occupancy and strong brand value.
The Bottom Line
The Riviera Wongamat Beach is "The Glamour Standard." It offers a level of resort-style luxury that few buildings can match. While it sits back slightly further from the beach than The Palm, its superior facilities, pet-friendly policy, and 43-story sky pools make it the most popular lifestyle choice in North Pattaya.
