The Riviera Wongamat Beach is a two-building high-rise condominium in the Wongamat area of Na Kluea, at the northern end of Pattaya. It was developed by The Riviera Group and completed in 2017. The two buildings rise to 43 and 40 storeys and between them hold close to a thousand units, which makes this one of the larger residential schemes in Wongamat and gives it a different character from the smaller, lower-density buildings nearby.

The project is built around compact, efficient layouts rather than large family apartments, and that shapes who it suits. Studios and one-bedroom units make up most of the stock, so it works well for single occupants, couples, seasonal residents and buyers wanting a straightforward base near the beach without taking on a large unit and the running costs that come with one. Buyers looking for three-bedroom space will generally need to look at other buildings on the same coast, which our Wongamat area guide covers.

Project Overview

The Riviera Group is a Pattaya-based developer with a series of projects along the Jomtien and Wongamat coasts. The Riviera Wongamat Beach was completed in 2017 and took the Best Condo Development award for the Eastern Seaboard at the Thailand Property Awards in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The scheme is arranged as two towers, with the main communal facilities placed high in the building rather than at ground level, which is the feature most often cited by owners.

• Developer: The Riviera Group
• Completed: 2017
• Two buildings, of 43 and 40 storeys
• 979 residential units
• Studios listed at roughly 27 to 31 sqm
• One-bedroom units listed at roughly 35 to 50 sqm
• Two-bedroom units listed at roughly 70 to 84 sqm
• Combined two-bedroom configurations also available
• Car parking listed at 249 spaces

Location

Property portals list the address as Soi Naklua 16, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung, Chonburi, in the Na Kluea and Wongamat district. The project is not directly on the sand; it sits a short distance inland, with portals putting Wongamat Beach at approximately 200 metres, or around two minutes away. Access to central Pattaya is by way of North Pattaya Road.

That set-back position is worth understanding rather than glossing over. It means the building is not absolute beachfront, and lower floors do not have an unobstructed sea outlook. It also means the purchase price per square metre sits below what true beachfront stock commands, and the beach itself remains within an easy walk. Which of those matters more depends entirely on the buyer.

Distance to the Beach

This is not a beachfront building and it is better to be clear about that than to let the name imply otherwise. Property portals put Wongamat Beach at approximately 200 metres from the project, around two minutes on foot. It is an easy walk, on the flat, but there is a short distance and a road between the lobby and the sand.

The practical consequence is twofold. Lower floors do not have an unobstructed sea outlook, because there is built stock between the building and the water. And the price per square metre sits below what true beachfront towers on this coast command. For a lot of buyers that is a sensible trade: two minutes’ walk for a materially lower entry price. For buyers who want to step straight onto sand, it is not.

Facilities

Confirmed facilities include a communal swimming pool and a communal gym, both located on the 23rd floor, a communal garden area on the 4th floor, a reception and lobby area at ground level, an indoor children’s zone, and a recreation room. There is car parking, passenger lifts, 24-hour security, CCTV coverage and Wi-Fi in the common areas. Placing the pool and gym at height rather than at ground level is the project’s most distinctive design decision, and it is the reason a large share of units are described by the developer as having a panoramic outlook towards Koh Larn.

Pets are not permitted at The Riviera Wongamat Beach. Buyers who intend to keep an animal should treat this as a material restriction and confirm the current position with the juristic office.

Unit Types

The project is built around compact, efficient layouts rather than large family apartments, and the size bands reflect that.

• Studio — roughly 27 to 31 sqm
• One-bedroom — roughly 35 to 50 sqm
• Two-bedroom — roughly 70 to 84 sqm
• Combined two-bedroom configurations also available

Studios and one-bedroom units make up most of the 979 units, which is what brings the entry price down and what makes this a poor fit for anyone needing three-bedroom space. Floor level matters a great deal here because the building is set back from the water: the sea outlook that the developer describes is a function of height, not of address. Confirm the registered area against the title deed for the specific unit.

Current Sale Listings

Dynasty Real Estate currently has one unit at The Riviera Wongamat Beach 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 this unit before you go further. In a 979-unit building quota availability varies considerably between unit types and floors and shifts as units are resold, so the juristic office record is the only confirmation worth having.

Current Rental Listings

We have no Riviera Wongamat rental on the books at the time of writing. The building carries a meaningful rental population and stock moves quickly at this size, so what is free depends on when you ask. Send us your dates, budget and preferred floor band and we will check across both towers.

Other Wongamat rental stock is on our Wongamat area guide.

Who Buys Here

The buyer profile here is broader and younger than at the older beachfront towers. Compact unit sizes bring the entry point down, which draws first-time overseas buyers, seasonal residents and Thai purchasers alongside the European and Russian-speaking owners long established in Wongamat. There is also a meaningful rental population in the building.

The honest assessment is that this is a large, busy, high-density building. With nearly a thousand units, lift waiting times, pool occupancy in high season and general footfall through the lobby are all higher than in a smaller scheme. Owners who want a quiet, low-density environment tend not to stay long. Owners who want a well-located, well-run building at a sensible entry size, and who are untroubled by a busy common area, generally get on with it well. Anyone considering letting a unit should form their own view of the local rental market and take independent advice; we do not make projections about returns.

Foreign Ownership Quota at The Riviera Wongamat Beach

Foreign freehold in any Thai condominium is capped by law at 49 per cent of the building’s total saleable floor area, with the balance held in Thai quota. A foreign buyer can only take a Thai quota unit through a Thai company or a registered leasehold, and neither route should be entered into without advice. In a building of this size, foreign quota availability varies considerably between unit types and floors and shifts continuously as units are resold. It must be confirmed for the specific unit with the juristic office before any deposit changes hands.

Also check outstanding common area fees, the sinking fund position, any special levy resolved at a recent general meeting, and whether any alterations to the unit were approved. Comparable buildings are set out in our Pattaya property developments directory, and current stock appears on our Pattaya property for sale pages.

Nearby Schools

Tara Pattana International School is in Naklua and is the closest international school to Wongamat. The others are further south and all involve a drive, with journey times depending heavily on traffic.

• Tara Pattana International School, Naklua — the nearest to Wongamat
• Regents International School Pattaya
• Ecole Francaise Internationale de Pattaya
• St Andrews International School Green Valley, Huay Yai
• Mooltripakdee International School, south towards Na Jomtien

Because the unit mix here runs to two bedrooms at most, this is not primarily a family building, but ask the school for a current journey time and bus route from Soi Naklua 16 if it matters to you.

Nearby Shopping

The Naklua fresh market and the restaurants along Naklua Road are the everyday option, with convenience stores and small supermarkets on the same road and around the soi.

For full-scale shopping, access to central Pattaya is by way of North Pattaya Road, so Terminal 21 Pattaya on the corner of Second Road and North Pattaya Road is the nearest mall, with Central Marina about 500 metres to its south and Central Festival Pattaya Beach on Beach Road a little further.

Nearby Attractions

Wongamat Beach is about 200 metres away. The Sanctuary of Truth, the all-teak waterfront temple complex in Naklua, is the closest major attraction and one of the best known in Pattaya.

Central Pattaya, Walking Street and Bali Hai Pier with the Koh Larn ferries are a drive south down Beach Road; Koh Larn itself is the island the upper floors here look towards. Further out, Pattaya Floating Market on Sukhumvit and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden south of the city are the usual day trips, and Big Buddha Hill, Wat Phra Yai, sits on Pratamnak beyond the centre.
