A Landmark Development for Phuket’s Residential Market
Banyan Group has taken a significant step in shaping the future of Phuket’s real estate market with the official launch of Laguna Lakelands, a sprawling 276-acre eco-friendly residential community located adjacent to the renowned Laguna Phuket integrated resort. This development stands as the largest private residential project on the island, promising to redefine luxury living with its seamless integration of nature, wellness, and modern amenities.
A Vision Rooted in Nature and Sustainable Living
At the heart of the project is a commitment to balancing environmental preservation with upscale lifestyle offerings. The community spreads across nearly 700 rai of land, thoughtfully designed to retain natural features like botanical gardens, rainforests, tranquil lakes, rolling hills, and open green spaces. Approximately 30 percent of the site is dedicated to forested and landscaped areas, creating a verdant sanctuary within a thriving residential setting.
Extensive Green Spaces and Eco-Friendly Design
The masterplan features 15 kilometers of pedestrian paths, footbridges, and cycling trails that invite residents to engage with the local ecosystem.
Five Themed Residential Zones for Diverse Lifestyles
Five distinct residential zones—Hillside, Orchard, Forest, Lakeside, and Lagoon—offer diverse living environments linked by shared gardens and communal spaces. These zones are thoughtfully accessible to both residents and the public, fostering a sense of community and social sustainability.
Phase I Residences: Variety and Luxury
Lakeview Residences: Modern Apartments with Stunning Views**
Phase I of Laguna Lakelands introduces a variety of residence types catering to different preferences. Elevated low- and mid-rise buildings host Lakeview Residences, offering one- to three-bedroom apartments with expansive rooftop infinity pools and sweeping garden views. Entry prices for these units start at an accessible level for resort-style living in Phuket, opening opportunities for buyers seeking a blend of nature and modern comfort.
Waterfront Villas: Spacious Luxury Homes by the Lake
For those desiring larger homes, four-bedroom Waterfront Villas provide generous living space, averaging 560 square meters, complete with private pools, lush gardens, and direct lakeside access. These villas reflect luxury and exclusivity within the natural surroundings of the development.
Laguna Lakeside Residences: New Low-Rise Apartments
The project’s latest release includes four new low-rise apartment blocks known as Laguna Lakeside Residences. These also feature one- to three-bedroom units, starting from a higher price point that reflects their premium design and amenities. Each building offers rooftop infinity pools and sleek contemporary interiors that appeal to sophisticated buyers.
Skypark Elara: Stylish Residences for the Modern Lifestyle
In addition, the stylish Skypark Elara phase complements the Laguna Lakelands community with residences sized between roughly 54 and 183 square meters. These apartments cater to modern lifestyles with rooftop lounge terraces, infinity-edge pools, and integrated “work-closets” designed for remote working. Pricing for these units starts in a mid-range segment, reflecting the project's focus on flexibility and comfort.
Access to Laguna Phuket’s World-Class Amenities
While Laguna Lakelands is a self-contained community, residents benefit from full access to Laguna Phuket’s extensive amenities. This includes beachfront facilities, branded hotels, golf courses, spas, dining venues, and community events, offering a lifestyle experience that blends privacy with resort luxury. Such connectivity creates a unique offering in Phuket’s residential market, where residents enjoy the best of both worlds.
On-Site Facilities: Country Club, Beach Club, Town Centre
Within Laguna Lakelands itself, a variety of lifestyle features are available to residents. A Country Club offers swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields, and family-oriented programs. A dedicated Beach Club provides direct access to the famous Bang Tao Beach. The town center includes retail shops, dining options, wellness facilities, and lakeside terraces designed for social gatherings and events.
Adventure and Wellness Zones to Enhance Well-being
An adventure and wellness zone further enriches the community with mountain bike trails, a rainforest walkway leading to a treetop vista, orchard gardens, native wildflower meadows, and elevated lookout pods. These amenities underscore the project’s commitment to holistic well-being and environmental harmony.
Flexible Financing and International Appeal
Financially, Banyan Group introduces flexible payment options designed to accommodate both local and international buyers. These plans allow staged payments over multiple years, offering financial accessibility and convenience that are uncommon in Thailand’s property market. This flexibility appeals particularly to expatriates, second-home buyers, and investors seeking lifestyle properties with manageable ownership terms.
Global Sales Initiatives Targeting Overseas Buyers
International sales efforts have been vigorous, with exhibitions held in Hong Kong and Singapore to introduce Laguna Lakelands to a global audience. These events aim to attract overseas buyers who value the community’s ecological focus and resort-style living, positioning the development as a premier choice for luxury residential investment in Southeast Asia.
Growth Outlook and Strategic Vision
Planned Expansion to Thousands of ResidencesLooking ahead, Banyan Group anticipates that Laguna Lakelands will eventually feature up to 5,000 residences within the next five to ten years, with the potential to expand the total number of units to around 10,000 when combined with adjacent developments in Laguna Phuket. This ambitious growth plan aligns with the group’s broader vision of creating a diversified real estate ecosystem in Phuket that spans mid-tier condos to ultra-luxury beachfront villas.
Market Segmentation from Mid-Tier to Ultra-Luxury Villas
The upcoming Oceanus project, for example, will deliver ultra-premium beachfront villas starting at 500 square meters or more, with prices exceeding THB 300 million, catering to high-net-worth buyers seeking exclusive coastal estates. This market segmentation strategy demonstrates Banyan Group’s capacity to address varied buyer profiles and price points, solidifying its leadership position in Phuket’s real estate sector.
