19 villas by a lake in Ko Kaew, 2 minutes from British International School — an inland project, not a beach one
Fortuna Lakeside is a villa complex of 19 homes ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms in the Ko Kaew area, in central Phuket, by a lake and hills. The project is under construction: work begins after the first payment for a villa and takes 10 to 24 months, averaging around a year. Entry is from ~$1,018,051.
Ko Kaew is a sub-area between Phuket Town and Chalong, inland: not a beach location, but a quiet residential enclave with developed social infrastructure. The key advantage of the location is being about 2 minutes by car from British International School, making Fortuna Lakeside a notable option for families with children who value proximity to an international school over beach access. Patong and Bang Tao beaches are 15 km and 16 km away respectively — already a proper car trip, not a stroll. In the same Ko Kaew area, our catalog also lists Burasiri Koh Kaew by Sansiri, a completed villa complex delivered since 2013 with a lower entry price — a useful benchmark for buyers comparing readiness now with Fortuna Lakeside’s newer off-plan format.
Entry into the project is from ~$1,018,051, with a lineup spanning villas from 3 to 6 bedrooms — meaning the same complex fits both a compact family and a larger household. The exact price depends on the chosen configuration and size; the developer does not publish a single price table per type, so the final cost should be confirmed for the specific lot.
Rental is projected by the developer at around 5% per year. Since the project is still under construction, it has no established occupancy history or actual yield of its own — this is a sales-stage benchmark rather than a confirmed result. Owner costs (CAM fee, sinking fund) are not publicly disclosed by the developer.
Fortuna Lakeside is delivered under the developer’s own name — we found no large public portfolio of past completed projects under this brand, so its reputation has to be judged on this single current project. Construction begins after the first payment for a specific villa and takes 10 to 24 months depending on the number of bedrooms — a standard off-plan scheme for Phuket, but one that means an individual handover schedule per villa rather than a single date for the whole complex.
A key feature of the project worth stating honestly: despite the appealing “Lakeside” name and its position by a lake and hills, this is fundamentally not a beach project — 15–16 km to the nearest sea means a car trip every time for a beach day. Freehold is available alongside leasehold, which broadens the options for structuring the deal for a foreign buyer.
Who it suits: a family for whom proximity to British International School and a private, central-island location matter more than walkable beach access, as well as an investor looking for a wider range of configurations (3–6 bedrooms) within a single complex. Buyers for whom the beach or a ready-made property without an off-plan wait is essential should look at Burasiri Koh Kaew in the same district or coastal projects in the catalog.
Our role as an agency is to verify the current construction schedule for the chosen villa and its exact price by configuration, confirm the ownership structure (freehold or leasehold) for the specific lot, and clarify the terms of the rental management before signing.

The median is calculated from the “from” prices of all catalog projects in the district and refreshes with every update.

Off-plan: construction begins after the first payment for a villa and takes 10 to 24 months, averaging around 12.
Both freehold and leasehold are available; the structure is confirmed per specific villa.
This is not a beach project: about 15 km to Patong and 16 km to Bang Tao. On the other hand, British International School is about 2 minutes away.
Yes, the developer projects around 5% per year. The project has no rental track record of its own yet, so the figure is a marketing benchmark.
[Burasiri Koh Kaew](/en/villacarte/catalog/burasiri-koh-kaew-phuket) offers completed villas by Sansiri, delivered since 2013, at a lower entry price. Fortuna Lakeside is a newer off-plan project with a wider bedroom range (3–6) and proximity to the British school, but without an operating history and at a higher price.
