In a striking move reflecting the solid global demand for luxury, eco-friendly real estate, Banyan Group has announced the early release of the final block of its seven-storey Lakeview Residences at the visionary Laguna Lakelands in Phuket. Initially scheduled for a later date, the release has been accelerated due to the overwhelming interest from international buyers eager to secure a home in this groundbreaking development.
A Testament to Strong Sales and Global Appeal
Phase I of the $2 billion Laguna Lakelands residential community, unveiled in February, has seen robust sales from buyers worldwide. The Lakeview Residences, featuring one to three-bedroom apartments and a stunning rooftop swimming pool, are priced from a highly competitive THB 7 million. These residences have attracted buyers from across the globe, underscoring the project’s international appeal.
Banyan Group, renowned for its iconic Banyan Tree Resorts brand, has designed Laguna Lakelands as a landmark development on Phuket’s Central West coast. Adjacent to the famous Laguna Phuket integrated resort, this new community spans over ten million square feet (700 rai or 276 acres) of botanical gardens, parks, rainforests, tranquil lagoons, and rolling hills, making it Phuket’s most significant private residential enclave.
A Paradigm Shift in Phuket’s Real Estate Market
The Phuket real estate market is booming, driven by increasing families looking for second homes or even primary residences in this tropical paradise. “The demand we have witnessed for this project has far exceeded our expectations,” said Banyan Group founder and Executive Chairman KP Ho. “This shift highlights Phuket’s evolution from a vacation destination to a preferred residential location, with significant interest not only in second homes but also primary residences.”
High-quality properties in Phuket are still considerably more affordable than in many major markets, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Europe. This affordability, combined with Phuket’s strategic location within a five to six-hour flight of over 40% of the world’s population, its favourable year-round climate, and top-tier international schools and hospitals, makes it an increasingly attractive destination for global citizens.
Innovative Financing Options and Exclusive Amenities
Banyan Group offers unique financing options, allowing buyers to purchase residences with staged payments over several years. This makes it easier for a wider range of buyers to invest in this luxurious lifestyle.
Laguna Lakelands is interconnected by 15 kilometres of walkways, footbridges, and cycling trails, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. Residents will have access to a private beach club and country club and an array of recreational options. The community is designed to cater to families, with facilities such as a community country club with swimming pools, sports fields, tennis courts, and various activities for all ages.
There are hillside adventure zones, woodland play areas, wilderness hiking and cycling trails, and even a dedicated mountain bike park for those seeking adventure. The rainforest walkway to a treetop lookout provides stunning views of Phuket’s dramatic sunsets.
A Self-Contained Green Sanctuary
Laguna Lakelands features five distinct themed residential areas: Hillside, Orchard, Forest, Lakeside, and Lagoon, each offering a unique character and charm. The development emphasizes sustainability, with features such as woodland walks, organic orchards, rooftop gardens, and native wildflower meadows.
At the heart of Laguna Lakelands is a town centre with shops, services, lakeside dining, and a chic beach club. The elevated events zone offers spectacular views over the Andaman Sea, making it ideal for social gatherings and celebrations.
Seamless Integration with Laguna Phuket
While Laguna Lakelands is a self-contained entity, it is directly connected to the neighbouring Laguna Phuket resort, offering residents world-class amenities such as exclusive beach access, fine dining, luxurious spas, a golf course, and various educational and social programs.
Managing Director of Group Property Development at Banyan Group, Stuart Reading, added, “This integrated community promises an all-encompassing lifestyle full of rich experiences, abundant wellness, and unbridled pleasure.”
A Gateway to Vibrant Phuket
Laguna Lakelands is just a 30-minute drive from the bustling Phuket Town, the vibrant nightlife of Patong Beach, and the convenient Phuket International Airport, providing easy access to the island’s numerous attractions.
