A club enclave of only 5 villas 700 m from Boat Avenue, Bang Tao — from ~$1,243,137
Salila Villas — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$1,243,137, from $2,763 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~3 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer forecast. Completion: off-plan, construction ~10–24 months (~12 on average) from purchase date.
Salila Villas is a club enclave of just five two-storey villas with private pools in Bang Tao, a seven-minute walk from the Boat Avenue dining and retail cluster. Two types are on offer: Sunset (4 bedrooms, up to 6 guests) and the larger Twilight (4–5 bedrooms, up to 8 guests, with a wine cellar and parking for 4 cars). The project is built by Riva Development and is also found on the market under the name Salila Sol.
Bang Tao (in the Cherng Talay area) is one of the most infrastructure-rich sub-districts on the west coast: Boat Avenue with its restaurants, supermarkets and bars is 700 metres away, Laguna Phuket Golf Club is 1.4 km away, and Bang Tao beach itself is around 3 km away, meaning it is not reachable on foot. In the same Bang Tao area, our catalog also features Boat Avenue Residence, a residence format on the same shopping street. Salila Villas differs in format: not a residence within a complex, but a standalone villa with a private plot and pool at the same walking distance to the infrastructure.
Entry into the project starts from ~$1,243,137 for a Sunset-type villa, making Salila Villas one of the most expensive villa projects in Bang Tao in our catalog. The high price is explained by the combination of the Boat Avenue location and the villas’ own detailing: double-height living rooms, a separate staff room with a bathroom, and, in the larger Twilight type, a wine cellar and parking for four cars. Pricing for the Twilight type is not published by the developer and is confirmed individually.
The developer forecasts a rental yield of around 6% per year. The project is still under construction, so there is no confirmed occupancy track record — this is a guideline, not a result. The developer does not publicly disclose CAM fee figures or other operating costs.
Construction of Salila Villas takes 10 to 24 months from the purchase date of a specific villa, around a year on average — there is no single handover date for the whole project, which is typical for small off-plan enclaves where villas are sold and built as bookings come in. The project’s key feature is its extremely limited scale: only five villas for the whole complex. That is a plus in terms of privacy and exclusivity, but also a risk: if demand for the Boat Avenue location runs high, liquid lots can sell out quickly, and the choice of layout and view can narrow down to whatever is left.
Who it suits: a buyer who wants a villa with a private plot within walking distance of Bang Tao’s developed infrastructure and is prepared to pay for the location and detailing rather than chase the lowest price per square metre. Those who value a ready-built property over an off-plan wait should look at completed villa complexes in the same area in our catalog.
Our role as an agency is to lock in a specific villa and its type at an early stage, while the choice among the five units is still open, confirm the ownership structure and send the payment schedule before the deposit is made.

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.

Five in total — Salila Villas is one of the most intimate villa projects in Bang Tao in our catalog.
Boat Avenue Residence is a residence format by the same retail cluster, not standalone villas. Salila Villas is a villa with a private plot and pool, five minutes from the same Boat Avenue infrastructure.
~6% developer forecast — that is a projection, not a guarantee: actual income depends on occupancy, season and running costs. We model it for the specific unit before the deal.
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.
