The "ALERTO KADA KILOMETRO" road safety seminar will continue throughout the year with CAVITEX and CALAX communities, transport groups, and allied services. 

Banyan Group Launches New-Look Eco-Friendly Laguna Lakeside Residences

The new low-rise residential blocks overlooking picturesque lagoons are set in lush tree-lined gardens at the entrance to the prestigious Laguna Phuket integrated resort


Multi-award-winning Banyan Group Residences is launching new low-rise blocks of Laguna Lakeside Residences, offering a rare and exceptional opportunity to join the iconic and prestigious 1000-acre Laguna Phuket integrated resort community at Bang Tao beach on Phuket’s highly sought-after Central West Coast.

The new residences are located adjacent to the first block of Laguna Lakeside Residences, which is already sold out and was completed in June this year. They are conveniently situated at the gateway to Laguna Phuket, overlooking a tranquil lagoon and right on the doorstep of the popular Boat Avenue entertainment district at Bang Tao area.

Set in lush landscaped gardens and built in a sleek contemporary style, the one, two and three bedroom residences with stunning rooftop infinity pools are a compelling and affordable way to embrace the exclusive Laguna Phuket lifestyle while still being close to nature.

“Laguna Lakeside Residences is designed and built with the same level of care and attention to detail as other properties within the Banyan Group” said Banyan Group founder, Mr Ho Kwon Ping. “It’s a bit like when you buy a car from a luxury car brand like BMW or Mercedes, even if you are buying a smaller vehicle you know that the quality and craftsmanship is still on the same level as the top of the range models.”

The new Laguna Lakeside Residences are designed for a new generation who wish to live in close proximity to nature, yet they still have all the facilities and lifestyle benefits of the sophisticated Laguna Phuket resort community on the doorstep. Set against a multi-purpose lawn with boardwalk under a canopy of high trees, the residences are ideally located for relaxing strolls in the manicured gardens.

The launch of the new Laguna Lakeside Residences comes as the Phuket real estate market is booming, fuelled by an increasing desire for families from all over the world to enjoy a second home in Phuket, or even to relocate there.

 
“We’re seeing a huge demand for new homes in Phuket this year, due to a whole range of factors from trends such as urban flight, geopolitical issues and simply the fact that Phuket has become a great place to live with world-class international schools and hospitals and all the benefits of a year-round tropical lifestyle,” said Banyan Group founder and Executive Chairman KP Ho.

“High-quality property is still significantly cheaper in Phuket than in most of the buyer source markets like Hong Kong, Singapore or Europe, which is also an important factor,” he said.

Phuket’s strategic location within 5 or 6 hours flight of over 40% of the world’s population, its attractive year round climate and the growing world-class international schools and hospitals are also part of its growing attraction.

The Laguna Lakeside Residences include one to three bedroom condominiums in four low-rise blocks, each block with its own expansive rooftop infinity pool.

Prices start from just THB 9 million.

Uniquely for Thailand, the developer also offers financing options which allow owners to purchase residences with staged payments over several years.

The Laguna Lakeside Residences are located within Asia’s most iconic integrated resort, Laguna Phuket, which also includes award-winning spas and Laguna Golf Phuket, named "Thailand's Best Golf Course" by the World Golf Awards.

Just 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport, Laguna Lakeside Residences offers an all-encompassing lifestyle from world-class dining, spas and golf to education programmes and a plethora of social events.

An unparalleled world of exclusive privileges, discounts and rewards additionally becomes available to owners through the brand's signature property owners’ programme – The Sanctuary Club – opening residents to the Banyan Group’s global network of exceptional properties in renowned destinations worldwide.

Phuket has long been renowned as a 'smart choice for tropical lifestyle', with a comfortable climate and fresh sea air, affordable cost of living, world-class private health facilities, top-quality international schools and shopping malls -- and inimitable Thai hospitality in the 'Land of Smiles'.



Laguna Resorts & Hotels is listed on the stock exchanges of Thailand and Singapore in alliance with Banyan Tree Holdings.
