Laguna Phuket is situated in Choeng Thale sub-district of Phuket province, in the central part of the island. It overlooks Bang Tao and Layan beaches to the west. The Laguna Phuket integrated resort complex was constructed around 30 years ago and has since become a symbol of luxury living in Phuket.

The name «Laguna» not only refers to a specific area of the island but also represents a certain lifestyle. It originates from former tin quarries that have been transformed into picturesque lakes, some of which are connected to the sea, creating lagoons. Prestigious hotels are situated on the shores of these lakes.

There is also a world-class golf course, adjacent to several villages with villas and townhouses under different brands, such as Laguna, Angsana, Banyan Tree.

Laguna aims to be a self-sufficient ecosystem that prioritises privacy, comfort, and a high standard of living. The complex is meticulously maintained by a large staff, ensuring excellent road conditions and minimal traffic. This allows for easy cycling or strolling between the lakes.

The resort has its own bus service. Additionally, a free ferry service takes guests from the hotel to the beach or to the nearby shopping area.

The demand for property in Laguna Phuket is mainly due to the infrastructure that exists outside of the Laguna Phuket Resort to cater to its residents. This infrastructure has played a significant role in making Laguna Phuket the hallmark of Phuket that it is today.

The Boat Avenue complex offers a variety of dining options, including Spanish tapas bars, Italian trattorias, Russian restaurants, French bakeries, etc. The primary shopping destination is the Porto de Phuket complex, a separate project of the Central group, designed in a smart casual style that complements Laguna. There are also many beauty salons, stylish clothing boutiques and jewellery stores, although they are technically located outside of Laguna’s borders.

Who is Laguna for?

Laguna is designed for those seeking a European standard of living in Phuket, be they wealthy foreigners, Thai TV stars or Bangkok businessmen. The resort tries to maintain a club-like atmosphere, although the area is open to the public and the residents are not hiding behind the walls of their luxurious homes.

Many foreigners take advantage of this openness by renting villas or apartments adjacent to the complex, attracted by the lifestyle it offers.

Laguna Phuket hotels

Laguna is home to several iconic hotels in Phuket and Thailand, such as Dusit Thani, Banyan Tree, and Angsana. Guests are offered a choice between rooms or individual villas, which can be combined to form gated communities.

For instance, the Angsana brand offers both hotel complexes and luxury villas as individual accommodations. In recent years, Laguna has expanded with apartments, including several phases of the Cassia project and Laguna Skypark.

The Angsana Beachfront complex has condominium status, but essentially consists of low-rise townhouses located right on the seashore. The townhouses and houses in Laguna Park are highly sought-after for investment purposes and living.

Property prices in Laguna Phuket

Property prices in Laguna are higher than the Phuket average. This is justified by the area’s premium positioning and efforts to maintain that status. The symbol of Laguna has long been villas under hotel brands, which continue to be built today. A new house with an area of about 420–480 sq. metres can cost between 2.5 and 6 million US dollars.

Around 90% of demand in Thailand is generated by clients with investment objectives who wish to place capital in stable assets abroad. The Thai currency is very stable: the volatility of the baht exchange rate has typically not exceeded 10% in recent decades and is around 6% this year.

The developed tourist industry allows you to generate a stable and relatively high rental income from Thai property: the average rental yield for apartments in Phuket is now 7–8% per annum, whereas in many southern European countries similar projects in tourist locations can be expected to yield only 3–4%.

Villages of townhouses with a smaller area (approximately 200 sq. metres) and lower cost (with options starting at 600,000 US dollars) have become a popular choice in Laguna. Recently, the developer has been actively constructing not only studios with an area of 30 square metres but also apartments with two or three bedrooms. The prices for top-level housing range from 3,500 to 10,000 US dollars per sq. metre.
