When buying freehold
A foreign-quota condominium is registered in the buyer’s name. Purchase funds must enter Thailand with the correct purpose so the receiving bank can issue the foreign-exchange evidence used at the Land Office.

Banyan Tree branded villas in Laguna: from lagoon residences to true oceanfront
Banyan Tree Grand Residences — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~87.8M THB, from $6,472 per sqm. Both freehold and leasehold available. A managed rental program runs here — the yield is calculated per unit. Completion: Oceanfront completed (2024), Beach Terraces — Q2 2026.
Banyan Tree Grand Residences is the pinnacle of branded property in Laguna: villas under the Banyan Tree flag, from lagoon residences to true oceanfront. Three key collections: Lagoon Pool Villas (~87.8–176M THB), the beachside Beach Terraces — 3 bedrooms, 417 sqm, from ~89.9M THB, completing Q2 2026 — and the Oceanfront Villas — 4 bedrooms, 793 sqm, from ~210M THB, delivered in September 2024.
The residences sit within the Laguna Phuket estate, about 0.6 km from the Banyan Tree Phuket hotel — resort infrastructure (a shopping village, restaurants, Banyan Tree spas) is within walking distance. HKT airport is about 25 minutes by car. Owners get a 24-hour concierge, Sanctuary Club membership and access to the Banyan Tree Private Collection across the group’s other destinations, plus separate membership at Laguna Golf Phuket.
The buying logic here is “brand plus land”: Banyan Tree manages the residences as an extension of its resort, and ocean- and lagoon-front plots inside Laguna are finite. Historically this is the segment that holds value best on Phuket and recovers first after any market dip.
Within Laguna a buyer at this budget always has alternatives — Lakelands, Angsana, resale villas in Laguna Village. We compare specific lots across all collections, verify terms and help you choose between a completed villa and off-plan — at the developer price.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold / leasehold. This is the project-level starting point, not a legal opinion on a particular unit. The contract, title, foreign quota and seller authority must be verified before reservation.
A foreign-quota condominium is registered in the buyer’s name. Purchase funds must enter Thailand with the correct purpose so the receiving bank can issue the foreign-exchange evidence used at the Land Office.
A foreign buyer may own the structure but cannot directly own Thai land. The land element is normally held through a registered long lease or another lawful structure. Term, renewals, inheritance and resale rights must be explicit in the contract.
Verify the receiving legal entity, construction milestone, payment trigger, delay remedies and the documents the seller must deliver for registration.
This is general information. Structure and taxes depend on the unit, seller and contract; an independent Thai lawyer should complete the final review.
Indicative estimate: yield and the rental model depend on the project, unit and management program. Request an exact projection for a specific unit.

Lagoon villas from ~87.8M THB; beachside Beach Terraces from ~89.9M THB (completion Q2 2026); true oceanfront villas from ~210M THB (completed 2024). Request a price list for the specific collection.
Five-star operator management: Banyan Tree resort services, a rental program backed by its global sales channels and brand, plus owner privileges across the group’s hotels.
Both: the Oceanfront Villas were delivered in September 2024, the Beach Terraces collection is under construction (Q2 2026), and lagoon villas vary by collection. You can choose between a finished product and off-plan.
The price is the same — the developer pays the commission. We compare collections against each other and against Laguna neighbours (Lakelands, Angsana), review the contract and manage the transaction.
Funds arrive from abroad in foreign currency and the Thai bank issues an FET form. Without it the Land Department will not register freehold to a foreigner, so we agree the amount and payment reference in advance.
