HOMA Cherngtalay

Overview

HOMA Cherngtalay is a modern aparthotel and coliving in Phuket destination set in the Bang Tao area, a short hop from Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket and the beach. It is built for remote workers, digital nomads and long-stay residents who want furnished serviced apartments paired with a proper work setup under one roof. The property is the second HOMA in Phuket, following the larger HOMA Phuket Town, and it leans harder into the work-and-live lifestyle with a purpose-designed coworking floor, a rooftop pool and a strong community programme. On Google it holds a 4.8 rating across more than 560 reviews, which is high for a residence of this scale.

The coworking space sits at the heart of the building. It is included free of charge for anyone renting an apartment or staying as a guest, and HOMA also opens membership to people who are not residents. If you are weighing up coliving in Phuket versus a standalone coworking café, HOMA is one of the few places that genuinely delivers both in the same location.

Facilities and work setup

The coworking floor is air-conditioned and designed for focus, with fast and free Wi-Fi, open hot desks and 24/7 workstation access for members. There are sound-proof meeting pods for calls and video meetings, plus larger private meeting rooms for teams. Pods and rooms can be booked through the HOMA mobile app, so you can reserve a quiet spot ahead of a busy day rather than hunting for a seat. Reviewers consistently praise the natural light, the reliable connection and the calm, professional atmosphere.

Beyond the desks, the building has an on-site cafe, People Coffee and Stories, so coffee and food are a lift away, along with the Mingle Eatery serving Mediterranean and Asian dishes by the pool. Residents and members can also use the wider facilities that come with membership, including the rooftop pool, a fitness room, a kids club and a games room. Free parking and free Wi-Fi round out the practical side.

Coliving and membership

HOMA Cherngtalay offers furnished serviced apartments across several layouts, from compact studios of around 30 square metres up to one-bedroom, duplex, two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes. Indicative long-stay rents on HOMA's own site start from roughly 27,000 THB per month for a studio on a twelve-month contract, rising with size and lease flexibility. Treat all figures as a guide only and confirm current rates directly with HOMA, since pricing changes with season, contract length and availability.

Access to the coworking space is where honesty matters. It is not a pure walk-in day-pass venue in the way a coworking café is. Residents and hotel guests get coworking included at no extra cost, and HOMA additionally sells a coworking membership to non-residents, advertised on its site with a yearly pass in the region of 33,000 THB. A clearly published single-day drop-in rate is not shown online, so if you only want a day or a week of desk time as an outside visitor, contact HOMA first to ask what short-term or trial options exist and whether a day rate is available. Members also gain access to the property amenities and the events calendar.

The community side is a real draw. HOMA runs regular networking nights, social evenings, movie nights, football meetups and market outings, which makes it easy to meet other remote workers rather than working in isolation.

Location and getting there

The address is 91 Soi Cherngtalay 4, Tambon Choeng Thale, Thalang District, Phuket 83110. This puts you in the heart of the Cherng Talay and Bang Tao district, one of Phuket's most polished areas for expats and nomads. Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket, with their restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and Friday market, are only minutes away, and Bang Tao Beach and Laguna are a short drive. Phuket International Airport is roughly 20 to 30 minutes north by car depending on traffic. The area is well served by taxis, ride-hailing and scooter rental, and having free on-site parking helps if you drive.

Good to know

If you want the full package of a room to sleep in and a desk to work at, HOMA Cherngtalay is a strong pick and one of the more established coliving in Phuket options. If you specifically need casual day access without becoming a member or resident, confirm the current policy and any drop-in rate before you travel. Note the sibling property, HOMA Phuket Town, near Central Phuket and Chillva Market, which offers a similar setup with the self-described longest rooftop pool in Phuket, plus a smaller HOMA presence around Chalong Bay. Bring a photo ID, ask about parking if you drive, and check meeting-room availability in the app if a call schedule is critical to your day.
