A two-phase Banyan Group condominium in Laguna: Aurora sold out, the new Celeste phase overlooks the golf course and lakes
Skypark Residences — condo project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$140,500. Beach: Bang Tao, ~800 m. Both freehold and leasehold available. A managed rental program runs here — the yield is calculated per unit. Aurora (buildings A–C) completed in 2023 and fully sold out.
Skypark Residences is a Banyan Group condominium inside the classic Laguna Phuket estate, developed in two phases. The first, Aurora (buildings A–C), was completed in 2023 and is fully sold out — only the resale market is available for it now. The second, Celeste (buildings D–F), is the current sales phase, overlooking the Laguna Phuket golf course and the area’s lakes, with its own rooftop: an infinity pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area, sky deck and, unusually for Phuket, a running track that spans several buildings.
The economics of Skypark are the most affordable price-per-sqm in Banyan Group’s island portfolio: entry from ~$140,500 (about 4.73M THB), cheaper than Cassia and considerably cheaper than Angsana or the new Laguna Lakelands phases. The format is studios, 1–2 bedroom units, and select ground-floor units with terraces. The developer offers its own in-house financing with no bank involved: a 100,000 THB reservation fee, a 20% deposit on signing, and up to 50% of the price spread quarterly over 1, 3 or 5 years — a convenient tool for a buyer who doesn’t want to pay the full amount up front. The CAM fee in the complex runs around THB 50/sqm a month, with a sinking fund of about THB 100/sqm.
The location is about 800 metres from Bang Tao beach — no direct sea access, but full access to Laguna’s infrastructure: the golf course, restaurants, the resort’s beach clubs. Boat Avenue is 1.5 km away (~5 minutes by car), Porto de Phuket (Central) mall is within walking distance, and the nearest clinic, Bangkok Hospital, is just ~510 metres away. HKT Airport is 20–25 minutes by car. Timelines deserve close attention here: Celeste’s announced completion date, December 2025, has already passed as of this page’s update. Slippage of a few months is not unusual for Thai off-plan projects, but a buyer should verify the actual construction status of the specific building before reserving, rather than relying on the date in marketing materials.
The developer’s stated yield target is around 8% per year. As with similar projects, this is a projection, not a commitment: actual yield will depend on occupancy, competition from neighbouring complexes — including the same developer’s newer, heavily marketed Laguna Lakelands — and the management company’s terms at handover.
Who Skypark fits: a buyer on a more modest budget who wants to enter the Laguna/Banyan Group brand and get golf-course and lake views, without paying a premium for beachfront status or a brand-new mega-project. Anyone looking specifically for Aurora should understand there are no fresh developer units left — only the resale market.
Our role is to compare specific Celeste units by floor and view, source a resale unit in Aurora with a clear history if needed, verify the actual construction schedule and the developer’s instalment terms, 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 ~$140,500 (about 4.73M THB) for units in the current Celeste phase. Aurora is sold out — only resale is available for it, at market price.
Banyan Group (Laguna Property) — the developer of all of Laguna Phuket, owner of the neighbouring Banyan Tree, Angsana and Cassia brands.
Aurora was completed and occupied in 2023. Celeste was announced for December 2025 — that date is already in the past as of this update, so we verify the actual handover status of buildings D–F before reservation.
Both are available depending on the unit and the complex’s current foreign-ownership quota.
Yes — a 100,000 THB reservation fee, a 20% deposit on signing, and up to 50% of the price spread quarterly over 1, 3 or 5 years with no bank involved.
Skypark is an earlier, cheaper-per-sqm phase of classic Laguna Phuket. Lakelands is the same developer’s newer, larger mega-project with different infrastructure and pricing. We compare both against your budget.
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.
