A Laguna condo phase by the resort lakes: Phase 1 completed in 2024, the second (Aster) is under construction to 2028
Laguna Lakeside — condo project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$206,700, from $5,906 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~1.3 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~8% developer projection. Completion: phased handover: Phase 1 — 2024 (completed), Aster — expected around 2028.
Laguna Lakeside is a compact Laguna-brand condo phase by one of the artificial lakes inside Laguna Phuket in Bang Tao. Phase 1 — a seven-storey building of 114 units, 1 to 3 bedrooms, 35–75 sqm — was completed in June 2024 and is already occupied; the developer is now building a second phase called Aster, with handover expected around 2028. Both phases formally sell under the same name on villacarte, but they are in fact different stages of readiness, and it is worth confirming exactly which building is meant before reserving.
Bang Tao beach is about 1.3 km from Lakeside (~3 minutes by car) — a short drive rather than a walk. The Boat Avenue retail cluster is about 0.5 km away, and HKT airport is roughly 19.4 km, about a 25–28 minute drive. International schools UWC Thailand, British International School Phuket and HeadStart are a few minutes away by car. The developer offsets the distance from the sea with lake, garden and mountain views inside the quarter and access to Laguna’s shared infrastructure — an 18-hole golf course, restaurants and the resort’s beach clubs.
The economics here are the most affordable entry into the Laguna brand among the area’s recent condo phases: from ~$206,700 for a 1-bedroom unit from 35 sqm. By comparison, the neighbouring beachfront-adjacent Laguna Beachside starts at nearly double the price — the difference comes down mainly to distance from the water.
A separate plus for buyers with a limited upfront budget is an instalment plan available during the construction of the remaining buildings. That is standard practice for the off-plan portion of large developers, though not universal — specific terms and the payment schedule should be requested against the current price list at the time of the deal.
An important nuance is naming overlap. Banyan Group’s portfolio simultaneously includes Laguna Lakeside (this project), Laguna Lakelands (a completely different, much larger mega-project on the hillside, a separate page in our catalog), and Laguna Lakeside Residences 2 — a sister phase with more units and a later handover. The names overlap deliberately: it is one marketing line, but three different products at different readiness stages and prices. We always confirm the exact building and phase before showing a client a price.
The rental model is a management programme targeting around 8% per year, which the developer bases on more than a decade of its own leasing experience in Laguna. This is a marketing projection, not a contractual guarantee: real yield will only become clear after a year or two of operating the completed phase, especially given that several competing phases of the same brand are launching nearby at the same time.
Who it fits: a buyer who wants to enter the Laguna brand on the smallest budget and can live without walking distance to the beach. Anyone for whom proximity to the water is critical should compare directly with Laguna Beachside or completed projects closer to the sea in the same area.
Our job as an agency is to confirm the exact phase and building of a specific listing (completed or still under construction), check the payment schedule and instalment terms, compare yield against older, more established Laguna brands nearby, and support the deal from reservation to registration. The developer pays the commission — the buyer’s price does not change.

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.
Leasehold is registered as a long-term lease. The review covers the term, renewals, assignment, inheritance, early termination and the landowner’s obligation to register the transaction.
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.

From ~$206,700 for a 1-bedroom unit from 35 sqm. The final price depends on floor, view, and which phase the unit belongs to — Phase 1 (completed) or Aster (under construction).
Banyan Group (Laguna Property) — the developer of all of Laguna Phuket since the 1980s, the same holding behind Cassia, Skypark Elara and Banyan Tree nearby.
Phase 1 was completed in June 2024 and is already occupied. The second phase, Aster, is under construction, with handover expected around 2028. We confirm the phase of a specific unit before reserving.
Both are available — specifics depend on the unit and the foreign-ownership quota at the time of purchase.
The developer states a target of ~8% per year based on its own management track record in Laguna. This is a projection, not a guarantee — actual yield will depend on occupancy after handover.
These are different projects from the same developer: Lakeside is a compact condo phase by a lake near the core of the older Laguna estate, while Lakelands is a separate, much larger mega-project on the hillside away from the beach. Do not confuse the two when choosing.
Yes, the unit stays yours. Inside a managed rental program the number of owner-stay nights is capped by the contract — we go through the exact terms for this project before you book.
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.
