Cetus Beachfront is one of a small number of genuinely beachfront towers in Jomtien. It stands on the seaward side of Jomtien Sai Nueng Road with direct access to the sand, and at 49 storeys it is one of the tallest buildings on this stretch of coast. It was built by Apus Development Group, a name that also appears on project records as Bellagio Development, and handed over in the middle of the last decade.

The project is not a single tower. Alongside the high-rise sits a five-storey low-rise known as Cetus Villa, which holds a small number of two-bedroom units with their own private pools. That combination — a tall sea-view tower plus a handful of ground-level pool units — is unusual in Jomtien and it is the main reason buyers shortlist Cetus against the other beachfront options set out in our Jomtien condos guide.

Project Overview

Cetus comprises two buildings holding 310 units in total. The main tower runs to 49 floors; the low-rise Cetus Villa building is five floors. The tower carries one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, while the villa units are two-bedroom with a private swimming pool. Published handover dates differ slightly between portals, with June 2014 and June 2015 both recorded, so treat the completion year as mid-decade rather than a fixed date.

The unit mix is broader than most Jomtien beachfront towers. One-bedrooms start around 39 sq.m, a workable holiday size, while three-bedroom layouts run to 145 sq.m, a genuine full-time family apartment. Floor level matters a great deal: in a 49-storey building on the beach road, a low floor and a high floor are two very different propositions.

• Developer: Apus Development Group (also recorded as Bellagio Development)
• Completion: mid-2010s — portals record both June 2014 and June 2015
• Buildings: 2 — Cetus Tower (49 floors) and Cetus Villa (5 floors)
• Total units: 310
• Tower unit sizes: 1-bedroom 39–54.5 sq.m, 2-bedroom 85–89 sq.m, 3-bedroom 85–145 sq.m
• Villa unit sizes: 2-bedroom with private pool, 95–130 sq.m
• Address: 251/422 Moo 12, Jomtien Sai Nueng Road, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri
• Pets: not permitted

Location

Cetus sits directly on Jomtien Sai Nueng Road, the main beach road, with direct access to the sea. Project data records it as a beachfront position, with the nearest measured point on Jomtien Beach South about 0.3 km away. In everyday terms you walk out of the building and you are on the beach road; the sand is across the pavement rather than across town.

The surroundings are the standard Jomtien beach-road mix — restaurants, bars and convenience stores along the seafront, with Sukhumvit Road and the larger shopping a short drive inland. It is a livelier position than the quieter Na Jomtien end of the coast. For how this compares with other Pattaya addresses, see the Pattaya property developments directory.

Distance to the Beach

Cetus is a beachfront building. It stands on the seaward side of Jomtien Sai Nueng Road with direct access to the sea, and project data gives about 0.3 km to the nearest measured point on Jomtien Beach South. There is no road to cross and no walk to speak of: you leave the lobby and you are on the beach road, with the sand across the pavement.

Aspect and floor still need checking on the specific unit rather than being assumed from the address. A beachfront building is not the same thing as a sea view from every apartment in it, and in a 49-storey tower the difference between two otherwise identical layouts is usually which way they face and how high they sit.

Facilities

Recorded facilities include a beachfront swimming pool and a separate rooftop swimming pool, a fitness centre, sauna and steam room, a rooftop garden and landscaped gardens around the project, a lobby, a playroom, shops on site, Wi-Fi in the common areas, passenger lifts, car parking, and a 24-hour security system with CCTV. The two-pool arrangement — one at sea level, one at the top of the tower — is the facility most residents actually mention.

Unit Types

The unit mix at Cetus is broader than most Jomtien beachfront towers, and it splits across the two buildings.

• Tower, one-bedroom — 39 to 54.5 sq.m
• Tower, two-bedroom — 85 to 89 sq.m
• Tower, three-bedroom — 85 to 145 sq.m
• Cetus Villa, two-bedroom with private pool — 95 to 130 sq.m

The practical point is that the smallest one-bedroom is a holiday-sized apartment and the largest three-bedroom is a full-time family home, in the same project. The Cetus Villa pool units are a small part of the 310 and come up rarely. In a 49-storey building, floor level and aspect separate two otherwise identical layouts more than the floor plan does.

Current Sale Listings

Dynasty Real Estate currently has two units at Cetus Beachfront listed for sale.

The units we listed here earlier have since been sold or rented. For what is available today, see the live list of units available now on this page, or ask us on WhatsApp.

Ask us to confirm the foreign-quota position on either unit before you go further; in a beachfront tower this is the check that most often decides whether a purchase can proceed.

Current Rental Listings

We do not have a Cetus Beachfront unit listed for rent at the time of writing. Rentals here tend to be arranged privately between owners and returning tenants rather than advertised, so tell us your dates and the size you need and we will ask across the building.

Other beachfront and near-beach rental stock in the area is on our Jomtien condos guide.

Who Buys Here

Cetus is bought mainly for the view and the position. The typical purchaser is a holiday-home or part-year owner who wants a sea-view unit they can walk out of onto the beach, and who is prepared to pay the premium a beachfront address carries over an inland one. Full-time residents buy here too, generally in the larger two- and three-bedroom layouts.

The Cetus Villa pool units attract a different buyer again: people who want the private-pool format without moving out to a villa estate. They are a small part of the project, so they come up rarely. Jomtien’s beachfront towers also see steady interest from Russian-speaking buyers, and Cetus is one of the buildings that features in that market. What Cetus is not is a cheap entry point — if budget is the deciding factor, the inland Jomtien stock will go further.

Foreign Ownership Quota at Cetus Beachfront

Foreign freehold ownership in any Thai condominium is limited by law to 49% of the saleable floor area of the building. Foreign quota in a sought-after beachfront tower is finite and is often already allocated, so the quota position of the specific unit must be confirmed with the juristic office before any deposit is paid — never assume it from a listing. Our guide to foreign condo ownership in Pattaya sets out how the cap works and what the alternatives are when foreign quota is unavailable.

Also confirm the exact floor, the aspect and whether the view is protected by anything other than the current skyline, since sea views on this stretch can be affected by later construction.

Nearby Schools

No international school is within walking distance of the Jomtien beach road. All the usual options are a drive, and the times below are approximate and swing considerably with traffic on Thappraya and Sukhumvit.

• Regents International School Pattaya — approximately 20 to 25 minutes
• Ecole Francaise Internationale de Pattaya — approximately 20 minutes
• Mooltripakdee International School, south towards Na Jomtien — approximately 20 to 25 minutes
• St Andrews International School Green Valley, Huay Yai — approximately 25 to 30 minutes
• Tara Pattana International School, Naklua — approximately 25 to 30 minutes

Families here drive or use a school bus service. Check the route and pick-up point with the school before committing to an address, since bus coverage does not extend equally along the beach road.

Nearby Shopping

Everything routine is on the doorstep: convenience stores, pharmacies and supermarkets along Jomtien Sai Nueng and Thappraya, plus the restaurants and bars of the beach road itself. Jomtien Night Market and Thepprasit Night Market are the two main evening markets, and Outlet Mall Pattaya on Sukhumvit is the nearest discount centre.

Full-scale malls are a drive north: Central Festival Pattaya Beach on Beach Road, Terminal 21 Pattaya on the corner of Second Road and North Pattaya Road, and Central Marina about 500 metres south of Terminal 21. Royal Garden Plaza and the Tukcom electronics centre are closer in, in South Pattaya.

Nearby Attractions

Jomtien Beach is the attraction the building is built around, with Dongtan Beach at the northern end of the same sand. Big Buddha Hill, Wat Phra Yai, sits above the area on Pratamnak, and Pattaya Floating Market on Sukhumvit is a few minutes inland.

Walking Street and Bali Hai Pier, where the Koh Larn ferries leave, are north past Pratamnak. The Sanctuary of Truth in Naklua and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden south of the city are the two bigger day trips.
