Banyan Group’s 100+ ha mega-project: seven lakes, five precincts, villas and condominiums next to Laguna Phuket
Laguna Lakelands — mixed-use project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$253,000, from $4,459 per sqm. Both freehold and leasehold available. A managed rental program runs here — the yield is calculated per unit. Completion: 2026–2027 (phased).
Laguna Lakelands is Phuket’s largest private residential project: Banyan Group is developing over a million square metres of hills and lakes next to its Laguna Phuket resort. Five precincts — Hillside, Orchard, Forest, Lakeside and Town Center — are linked by seven lakes, with extensive internal infrastructure plus everything Laguna already offers: golf course, beach clubs, restaurants, and international schools within 10–15 minutes.
The project sits deep inside the Bang Tao district: Bang Tao Beach itself is about 6.7 km away, Layan Beach around 4.5 km, and HKT airport roughly 25 minutes by car. This is not beachfront but a resort enclave with its own internal infrastructure and access to everything already built in Laguna: Laguna Golf Phuket, the resort’s six hotels, the Canal Village retail quarter, spas and a shuttle network between precincts. The closest project by brand in our catalog is Cassia Residences, also part of Banyan Group’s Laguna portfolio, but as an already-completed condo-hotel rather than an under-construction mega-project spanning a million square metres.
For an investor this is a bet on brand and location: Bang Tao / Laguna is the island’s most liquid area, and completed waterfront villas inside Laguna already trade well above current-phase prices on the resale market. Condo entry starts at ~$253,000 (Skypark Elara, Q4 2026); waterfront villas from ~54.8M THB (Q3 2027).
Banyan Group has been building out Laguna since the 1980s — one of the longest track records on the island — and Laguna Lakelands is its largest project, at around $2 billion. Completion runs in phases over several years: Skypark Elara condos in Q4 2026, Waterfront villas in Q3 2027, with later precincts to follow. No CAM fee or sinking fund figures are publicly disclosed yet — we confirm these for the specific phase and unit.
The project is large and its phases differ substantially in price per square metre, views and timelines — comparing units across phases matters far more here than taking “what’s offered”. We do that for free: the developer pays the agency commission, and the buyer’s price doesn’t change.

Our catalog currently tracks 132 projects in Bang Tao · Laguna; new-build entry level here: from ~$87,852. Laguna Lakelands’s entry price is about 63% below the district median — one of the most affordable starts in the area.
The median is calculated from the “from” prices of all catalog projects in the district and refreshes with every update.
Neighbours are picked by the same property type and the closest entry price in the same area — the projects our buyers actually shortlist against each other. Figures recalculate with every catalogue update.

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.

Condominiums (Skypark Elara Lakelands) start at ~$253,000 for a one-bedroom unit, penthouses up to ~$816,000. Waterfront villas start at ~54.8M THB. Prices move as construction progresses — request a current price list.
Banyan Group (Banyan Tree / Laguna Phuket) has one of the longest track records on the island — they have been building Laguna since the 1980s. Laguna Lakelands is their largest residential project at ~$2 billion.
Phased: Skypark Elara condos — Q4 2026, Waterfront villas — Q3 2027, later phases to follow. The project is designed for years of staged development.
The price is the same — the developer pays the agency commission. Layan Real Estate compares units and phases, reviews the contract and supports overseas payment.
No guaranteed rate is claimed: a managed rental program runs here and income follows occupancy. We calculate it for the specific unit.
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.
