Layan is Phuket’s quiet northwest: one of the island’s cleanest beaches, Sirinat National Park next door and low-rise, high-end development. VillaCarte Group’s flagship Layan Verde is rising here, Layan Green Park is operating, and Anantara’s villas crown the hillside. The area is prized for balance — 15 minutes to Bang Tao’s infrastructure without its density. Seafront land has effectively run out, so entry prices rise with every phase.

Calculated from 52 unit-mix rows in our catalog; medians refresh with every update.
Our catalog currently tracks 24 projects in Layan: 12 villa estates, 5 mixed-use projects, 4 condominiums, 3 condo-hotels. This is a live market snapshot — the page rebuilds with every catalog update, so the numbers below are current as of the date in the header.
New-build entry starts from ~$116 384 (Dandara); the median entry is ~$766 521, and the median price per square metre is ~$4 809/m². Medians are steadier than averages: a single ultra-luxury lot cannot skew them. For context, median entry nearby: Bang Tao · Laguna — ~$699 454; Nai Thon — ~$593 727.
18 projects are under construction and 6 are completed and occupied. Completions are spread as follows: 2025 — 1 project, 2026 — 5 projects, 2027 — 2 projects, 2028 — 4 projects. The closer the handover, the smaller the waiting discount — the lowest prices historically belong to early phases.
Prices by unit type (entry and catalog median): studios — from ~$116 000, median ~$152 870 (9 listings); 1-bedroom units — from ~$168 000, median ~$325 629 (8 listings); 2-bedroom units — from ~$184 000, median ~$492 876 (8 listings); 3-bedroom units — from ~$317 000, median ~$825 412 (16 listings); 4+ bedroom units — from ~$1 240 000, median ~$3 149 700 (9 listings).
9 of 24 projects put the beach within walking distance (~1 km); 23 offer a managed rental program or pool; 8 have sea-view units. For investors these are the three yield filters that matter most: walkable beach and managed rentals historically deliver the best occupancy.
The slice covers 21 developers; the most represented are Botanica (AAP Development) (3 projects), VillaCarte Group (2 projects), CODA Company Limited (1 project), Sun Hills Co., Ltd. (1 project). Developer diversity reduces risk — compare delivery track records, not just prices; every developer has its own page in the catalog.
Early phases carry the deepest discounts and developer instalments, but income starts only after handover. A resale in an operating complex (e.g. Layan Green Park Phase 1) costs more per square metre, yet the unit joins the rental pool immediately. Investors with a 3–5 year horizon usually take early phases; cash-flow buyers take resales.
Supply has grown, but the area is structurally protected: the land is squeezed between Sirinat National Park and already-built Bang Tao, so no large beachside plots remain. Demand is fed by Laguna infrastructure and buyers priced out of Bang Tao. The real risk is picking the wrong developer, not the wrong district.
In professionally managed complexes with a rental pool, owners net around 8–10% a year; high-season occupancy reaches 75–85%. The conditions that matter: walking distance to the beach, a management company with a real track record, and a unit mix suited to Laguna’s family audience.
