Layan is the smallest district in our catalog by project count, and it’s VillaCarte’s home turf — our flagship Layan Verde is rising here. The district carries 23 of the catalog’s 333 projects, from compact condos to beachfront villas by Sirinat National Park. This collection covers the villa and mixed-use segment: 16 projects where a villa is either the whole product or one component of a multi-format master plan. Median price is $1,082,942, ranging from $116,384 to $16.8M.
11 of the 16 are standalone villas: median $1,139,772, entry from $443,472. That’s the same median we quote in our Bang Tao villas collection — the market officially treats Layan as Bang Tao’s northern end, so the two villa sets overlap. But “villa for sale in Layan” is its own hyper-local search: a buyer typing it has already picked the district and won’t read a page about the whole belt. The remaining 5 are mixed-use projects with a villa component alongside condo units in one complex: AYANA Heights Seaview Residence, Dandara, Kiara Reserve, The Pavilions Phuket and The Momentum — entry there is lower, from $116,384 for a unit inside one of those complexes.
15 of the 16 (94%) run an active managed-rental program, and all 16 sell freehold — for a villa that almost always means title to the structure, with the land held separately through a long lease or a Thai company. 6 projects are already delivered, 10 are being built in phases: buyers can choose between a finished house and off-plan without leaving the district.

Developers draw the line loosely: Layan is Bang Tao’s northern end, cut off from the rest of the coast by Sirinat National Park. The difference isn’t administrative, it’s pace — Bang Tao runs on Laguna, Boat Avenue, international schools and resort-town traffic; Layan is quieter and greener, with no through-roads and almost no land left to build on. Bang Tao’s infrastructure stays 10–12 minutes away by car, but the district itself lives on a different clock.
The district’s biggest project is Layan Verde, VillaCarte Group’s own self-contained beachside quarter on 7.5 hectares, 700 m from the beach: 774 residences, handover in December 2028, prices from $235,995. It’s technically a condo project, so it doesn’t make this villa collection, but most of the villa estates on this page sit right around it — from the premium Avadina Hills and The Residences at Anantara Layan down to the more accessible Aileen Villas Layan and Walai Layan Villas. Layan Green Park operates next door too, its first phase delivered back in 2024.
Layan beach is the quiet northern tip of Bang Tao’s 8-kilometre stretch: fine sand, casuarina shade, few people even in high season. Sirinat National Park starts right at its northern edge — a protected zone that physically stops development from spreading further north. That means the privacy of Layan’s villas is backed by a park boundary, not a developer’s promise; the same constraint keeps land scarce and pushes prices up with every new phase.
Technically it’s one belt: the market and developers treat Layan as Bang Tao’s northern continuation, not a separate district — which is why 11 Layan villas also appear in our Bang Tao villas collection at the same $1.14M median. The real difference is character: Bang Tao runs on finished infrastructure and resort traffic, Layan is quieter and greener, bounded by Sirinat National Park, with almost no land left for new building.
This collection lists 16 villa and mixed-use projects in Layan: median $1,082,942, range $116,384–$16.8M. Counting only standalone villas (11 of 16) pushes the median higher, to $1,139,772, with entry from $443,472; the cheaper way in is a mixed-use project like Dandara or The Momentum, from $116,384–$152,870 per unit.
The district’s flagship is Layan Verde, our own self-contained quarter of 774 residences 700 m from the beach, handover December 2028, prices from $235,995 — it’s a condo format, so it sits outside this villa collection. Of the villa and mixed-use projects still under construction, 10 of the 16 in this collection: Cohiba Villas Layan, Aileen Villas Layan, Palm Breeze Layan, Kiara Reserve and others, handing over over the next 2–3 years.
Layan beach is the northern tip of Bang Tao’s 8-kilometre stretch: fine sand and casuarina shade, calmer and less crowded than its southern neighbour. Sirinat National Park starts right beyond it — a protected zone that caps development from the north and keeps Layan’s plots scarce, the main reason land here appreciates faster than the island average.
| Type | Units tracked | Median price |

Calculated from 23 unit-mix rows in our catalog; medians refresh with every update.
Our catalog currently tracks 18 projects — villas and mixed-use projects in Layan: 13 villa estates, 5 mixed-use projects. 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 ~$1 139 772, and the median price per square metre is ~$4 105/m². Medians are steadier than averages: a single ultra-luxury lot cannot skew them.
12 projects are under construction and 6 are completed and occupied. Completions are spread as follows: 2023 — 1 project, 2025 — 1 project, 2026 — 1 project, 2027 — 2 projects, 2028 — 2 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): 3-bedroom units — from ~$443 472, median ~$852 911 (9 listings); 4+ bedroom units — from ~$1 240 000, median ~$3 149 700 (8 listings).
3 of 18 projects put the beach within walking distance (~1 km); 17 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 16 developers; the most represented are Botanica (AAP Development) (3 projects), CODA Company Limited (1 project), T.H. Group Phuket Co., Ltd. (1 project), Serene Innovations & Developments (SID) (1 project). Developer diversity reduces risk — compare delivery track records, not just prices; every developer has its own page in the catalog.
