Already-built Botanica villas near Bang Tao — completed in 2023, an active resale market of 65 units
Botanica Forestique is an already-built villa complex from the Botanica (AAP Development) brand: 65 four-bedroom villas with 5–6 bathrooms, house sizes of 318–567 sqm on plots of 654–1,210 sqm, handed over in November 2023. Unlike most projects in our catalog, there’s no construction risk here as such — the complex is fully complete, and a specific villa can be inspected before signing the contract.
The developer’s “in the heart of Bang Tao” positioning should be taken with a grain of salt: the actual distance to the beach is about 4 km, and it’s not walkable.
The offer may include either remaining developer instalment terms on unsold lots or owner resales — we confirm a specific lot’s status and applicable payment scheme during selection.
Pricing starts from ~$1,091,956 (the most compact 318 sqm villa), but the range across the complex is wide: the larger 567 sqm villas on bigger plots sell for up to ~$1.9M. The average price per sqm is around THB 101,000 — in line with what you’d expect for a completed villa project of this class, 4 km from Bang Tao, with no direct sea access. The 5–6 bathroom layout for 4 bedrooms isn’t the most common format on the market: it’s designed for large families or guest-heavy scenarios, where having a private bathroom for each bedroom is a real convenience.
A notable sign of a healthy resale market: around 28 of the complex’s 65 villas are listed for sale at the same time, through different agencies. That’s not a red flag — rather, it confirms liquidity: reselling a villa of this brand in this location is achievable in practice, not just in theory.
As an agency, we work off the developer’s pricing for currently unsold units: for Forestique, that means first confirming which specific villas are still available directly from Botanica (rather than resale), their exact house and plot size, and the current payment terms — since the villacarte listing is clearly not synced with the project’s “already completed” status.

From ~$1,091,956 — the price of the most compact 318 sqm villa. The full range across the complex runs from ~$1.03M to ~$1.9M depending on house and plot size.
It’s already built and completed — handed over in November 2023. This is a finished complex, though the villacarte listing is styled like an off-plan project with installment terms described — current purchase terms (full payment or a remaining installment balance from the developer) need to be confirmed directly.
Botanica (AAP Development) — a villa developer in Phuket since 2005, the same brand behind Botanica Grand Avenue and Botanica Foresta.
About 4 km — noticeably further than the marketing phrase "in the heart of Bang Tao" implies. You’ll need a car to reach the beach.
Freehold for both land and house — standard for Botanica-brand villas.
The ~6% yield is a projection. We’ll give a realistic benchmark based on actual rental statistics for large villas in this part of the island.
Out of the complex’s 65 villas, about 28 are listed for sale at the same time by different agencies — that’s normal for a completed project with an active resale market, and points to liquidity rather than problems with the project.
