Overview
Whale Marina Condo is a boutique 8-story residential complex completed in 2019. Comprising three buildings (A, B, and C) on a 4-rai plot, it is inspired by the "Blue Whale," featuring a striking curved architectural style that mirrors the waves of the nearby Gulf. It is the only low-rise project in the area with its own officially approved private marina, making it a unique sanctuary for those who live a nautical lifestyle.
The project is famous for its direct water connection. It sits on a river estuary that flows into the sea, allowing residents to moor their private yachts or jet skis right outside their homes. Positioned just 60 meters from the quiet sands of North Na Jomtien beach, it offers a tranquil alternative to the high-density towers of Jomtien, complete with a water sports club that facilitates snorkeling, diving, and windsurfing.
Developer
Developed by SK Pattaya Construction Development Co., Ltd. (often associated with Pavilion Beach Co., Ltd.), a developer with extensive experience in the Pattaya market. Whale Marina was designed as their flagship "Lifestyle" project, focusing on a high-quality, quiet environment for expats. The construction quality is noted for its high-spec materials and energy-efficient lighting, maintaining a "luxury boutique" feel.
