About the project

Sun Hills Lakeside is a condo project by a lake in Bang Tao, the second project on the island by developer Sun Hills after Sun Hills Layan. Three seven-storey buildings hold studios and 1-bedroom units overlooking the lake and the island’s greenery. Construction is split into two phases: the first (currently in finishing works) is due to complete in December 2027, the second (still at the foundation stage) in December 2028. Units are registered as either freehold or leasehold. Entry price starts from ~$100,578.

Location and surroundings

Bang Tao is one of the most developed resort areas in northwest Phuket, known for the Laguna golf course, a network of lagoons, and a dense restaurant and retail infrastructure. Sun Hills Lakeside sits inland from the coast, by its own lake, away from the beachfront strip: it is about 3.7 km to Layan beach, meaning a car or scooter is needed to get there. In the same area, our catalog also lists Sun Hills Layan from the same developer — a project with less infrastructure but a different location, right on the hills above Layan beach, making it a natural benchmark when weighing proximity to the sea against the scale of in-house infrastructure.

Economics and pricing

The starting price of ~$100,578 is one of the most accessible entry points into the condo segment in the north of the island, which logically reflects the distance from the coastline and the long construction horizon. For comparison, condos at Bellevue Lagoon in the same Bang Tao area start from ~$115,967 — a comparable price segment, but with a different set of location and infrastructure factors. The developer forecasts a rental yield of around 6% per year, but Sun Hills Lakeside has no occupancy track record of its own yet — the project is under construction, not operating, so this figure remains a forecast rather than statistics.

The project’s core economic bet is not proximity to the sea but the scale of its in-house infrastructure: a gym of roughly 900 sqm, coworking space, a conference room, a kids club with its own children’s pool, a spa, and a rooftop cinema. For an investor targeting long-term rentals to digital nomads and families rather than beachside resort tourists, that set of amenities may matter more than direct walking access to the beach.

Stage, developer and risks

Sun Hills is the same developer behind Sun Hills Layan: that makes it possible to partly assess the company’s track record on an already-operating project before deciding on a second one. Still, Lakeside is a separate, larger project with its own schedule: Phase 1 is currently in finishing works (handover in December 2027), while Phase 2 is only at the foundation stage (handover in December 2028) — meaning the horizon on the second phase is longer and carries greater schedule-slippage risk.

Being pet-friendly is not a common detail for new-builds on the island and could be a meaningful plus for a certain segment of buyers and tenants. Ownership is registered as freehold or leasehold — the specific structure should be confirmed for the chosen unit and construction stage before reservation.

Who it suits: a buyer looking for an accessible entry point into the north-island condo segment and willing to accept a long off-plan horizon (especially for Phase 2) in exchange for large-scale in-house infrastructure — a gym, coworking, a kids club. Buyers for whom walking access to the sea matters should compare against first-line projects in Layan and Bang Tao, including Sun Hills Layan from the same developer.

Our role as an agency is to verify the current construction schedule for each of the two phases separately, confirm the exact price and availability of the specific unit type (studio or 1-bedroom, floor, view), and check the ownership structure for the chosen lot before signing.

Legal deal structure

How ownership at Sun Hills Lakeside is structured

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.

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.

When buying leasehold

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.

Before the next payment

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.

FAQ

How much does a studio at Sun Hills Lakeside cost?

From ~$100,578. That is the starting price; the final cost depends on the floor, view and area of the specific unit.

Who is the developer of Sun Hills Lakeside?

Sun Hills, the same developer behind Sun Hills Layan on Layan beach. Lakeside is the company’s second project in the same area, by a lake in Bang Tao.

When is the handover for Sun Hills Lakeside?

Off-plan in two stages: Phase 1 (currently in finishing works) is due December 2027, Phase 2 (currently at the foundation stage) is due December 2028.

Freehold or leasehold?

Both options are available; the specific structure depends on the chosen unit.

What is the rental yield?

The developer forecasts around 6% per year through a rental program. This is a forecast, not verified statistics — the project has no operating history of its own yet.

How does Sun Hills Lakeside compare to Sun Hills Layan?

Sun Hills Layan sits on the hills above Layan beach with view units. Sun Hills Lakeside is a larger project by a lake in Bang Tao with a richer infrastructure (900 sqm gym, coworking, kids club), but further from the sea.

Can I live in the unit myself?

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.

Is the rental income guaranteed?

~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.

How do I transfer the purchase money from abroad?

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.
