A gated community of 18 villas with 3–4 bedrooms in Cherngtalay — Kaufman Group’s second phase near Layan and Bang Tao
Layan Lucky Villas II is the second phase of Kaufman Group’s gated villa community in Cherngtalay, between Layan and Bang Tao beaches. There are 18 villas in total, with 3 or 4 bedrooms, each with a private pool, a smart-home system and a home gym included as standard. The project is under construction at the off-plan stage: building starts after the first payment, with an average timeline of about a year. Entry starts from ~$1,408,699.
The community sits in the inland zone of Cherngtalay, about 4.4 km (around 10 minutes by car) from Bang Tao beach, and just 5 minutes from the edge of Laguna Phuket resort with its restaurants, golf course and beach club. This is a typical setup for the area: the plot itself isn’t beachfront, but it sits next to the infrastructure of one of the island’s most developed resort clusters. There’s no walking access to the sea — a car or shuttle ride is required.
Entry from ~$1,408,699 puts this in the above-average segment for a villa of this format in Bang Tao. For comparison with completed projects in the same area: Lake House by the lake starts from ~$887,835 — a completed 2019–2020 complex without a smart home as standard — while the off-plan Erawana Grand costs from ~$1,464,974 — a close budget match but a different architectural format and a developer with a longer portfolio. The price gap between these projects is driven mainly by the fit-out (smart home, gym) and construction stage, not location alone. The management programme projects a yield of ~6% per year according to the developer — a benchmark, not a guarantee, and the actual rate will depend on the lease terms and the management company’s performance.
Kaufman Group has already delivered the brand’s first phase — Layan Lucky Villas I — fully sold out by the time the second phase came to market. This reduces the typical off-plan risk of a “zero track record,” although the developer’s portfolio is still limited to two projects in the same area. Construction of the second phase only starts after the buyer’s first payment — a standard scheme for local developers, but it means the exact handover date for a specific villa is only fixed once construction actually begins, not in advance. When choosing a lot, it’s worth checking the terms of the freehold/leasehold structure, the payment schedule, and the real construction status on site — the developer’s website can lag behind reality.
Who it fits: a buyer willing to enter at the off-plan stage for a lower entry price, who wants an intimate gated format with a modern, tech-forward fit-out (smart home, gym). Those for whom walking distance to the beach or a completed property without construction risk matters should look at completed projects nearby.
Our role as an agency is to verify the current construction status and contract before booking, cross-check the freehold/leasehold structure for the specific villa, and assess a realistic yield scenario rather than the developer’s stated projection.
