A completed Banyan Group condo-hotel in Laguna: 193 units across two buildings next to the working Cassia hotel
Cassia Residences is a completed Banyan Group condo-hotel in the heart of Laguna Phuket, a short walk from the working Cassia hotel of the same name. The complex is two eight-storey buildings totalling 193 units, completed in 2019 — this is not off-plan, it is a finished product with a real operating and occupancy track record that can be viewed before purchase.
The location is about 650 metres from Bang Tao beach (~8 minutes on foot) — not beachfront, but a full walk away with all of Laguna’s infrastructure nearby: golf course, restaurants, a shuttle and the resort’s beach clubs, with HKT airport about 30 minutes by car. Some units at Cassia are structured as “hotel apartments” — a format tied to the hotel’s management programme with limits on personal stays in exchange for participation in the rental pool. That is not unusual for branded residences attached to a hotel, but a buyer needs to know upfront exactly what they are buying: a fully private condominium or a unit with hotel-style restrictions.
The economics here are straightforward: this is the most affordable “branded” entry into Banyan Group’s island portfolio. Resale listings trade from ~$172,300, with price per sqm across units running roughly 163,000–209,000 THB — noticeably below neighbouring Angsana or Twinpalms. The spread between listings comes down to floor, view and who is selling — a typical picture for a resale market inside one complex, where units are not identical even within the same phase.
The developer’s stated yield target is around 8% per year. That figure comes from marketing materials, not a guarantee: actual yield depends on hotel and area occupancy, the age and condition of the specific unit, and the management company’s terms. For a 2019-built property, it is reasonable to budget for a refurbishment — after several years of operation this is a fairly common cost for owners. The developer does not publicly disclose CAM fee or sinking fund figures — we confirm these with the seller for the specific listing before the deal.
Who Cassia fits: a buyer who wants a completed, verifiable asset in Laguna at a smaller entry budget than Angsana or Twinpalms, and who can live without direct beach access. Anyone for whom beachfront status or a fully unrestricted freehold-style ownership regime is critical should compare directly against the area’s other projects first.
Our job as an agency is to source a specific listing with a clear rental history and a fair price per sqm, clarify the unit’s legal status (“hotel apartment” or a regular condo), review the contract and management-programme terms, and support the deal from reservation to registration. The seller or developer pays the commission depending on the listing — the buyer’s price does not change.

From ~$172,300 on the resale market; price per sqm across listings runs roughly 163,000–209,000 THB. Availability and pricing spread depend heavily on the individual seller — we compare listings.
Banyan Group (Laguna Property) — the developer of all of Laguna Phuket since the 1980s, owner of the Banyan Tree and Angsana brands and of the Cassia hotel next door.
The residences were completed in 2019 — this is a finished complex, and purchase happens on the resale market.
Both are available depending on the unit — we confirm the specific status before the deal.
Some units are structured as hotel-managed rooms with limits on personal stay length in exchange for participation in the hotel’s rental pool — this is not a plain condominium, and it matters when buying.
It is the most affordable completed Banyan Group brand in the area — cheaper than Angsana or Twinpalms, but without direct beach access. A good entry point into the brand on a smaller budget.
