Gardens of Eden: Lake Residencescondos in Bang Tao, Phuket

Gardens of Eden: Lake Residences is a complex in the Bang Tao area of Thalang, Phuket. The catalogue lists the developer as Amal Development; the project's own materials name it Amal Group (Thailand) Ltd. — worth noting as a discrepancy in the developer's name. Completion is set for the second quarter of 2029. The marketing copy promises "the shoreline just a short walk away, around 500 metres", but the nearest beach in the catalogue's data is Layan, about 1.8 km away — noticeably further than claimed.

The complex splits into two bedroom counts with no overlap in floor area. One-bedroom units run 52 to 62 m², two-bedroom units 81 to 101 m², with a 19 m² gap between them — no in-between size exists. The developer's own copy also mentions three-bedroom residences, but the current catalogue carries no three-bedroom lots — for now the choice is between the one- and two-bedroom formats only.

If you are going to live here

The nearest beach, Layan, is about 1.8 km away, and Bang Tao about 1.9 km — not a walk in the heat, but a short bike ride or drive. Layan National Park sits about a kilometre off, and Laguna Golf Phuket is 1.8 km away. The project is planned as a resort within a resort: a signature long lake pool, a clubhouse, generous living and dining spaces opening onto balconies. Completion is almost three years out, so it is too early to judge the finished infrastructure.

If you are buying to let

Construction has barely started, with handover in 2029, so any rental income is years away. One- and two-bedroom formats generally let well in Phuket's established beach areas, but the real distance to the water here — about 1.8 km — means these are not beachfront units, and a tenant would need to travel to the sand. No management programme is listed in the catalogue.

If you are holding for capital growth

The construction-stage gain here is still entirely ahead — handover is almost three years off, so none of that stage's typical price rise has been captured yet. The mismatch in the developer's own naming is worth checking separately before buying this early. A format with no overlap between the one- and two-bedroom bands keeps resale demand predictable.
