Laguna Lake Residences Astercondos in Bang Tao, Phuket

Laguna Lake Residences Aster is a low-rise apartment development by Banyan Group Residences in Bang Tao, Phuket, inside the Laguna Phuket resort enclave beside a calm lagoon. The grounds sit in landscaped gardens in a quiet, minimalist style. Thanyapura medical centre is 400 metres away, Villa Market supermarket 450 metres, and Cherngtalay School 700 metres. Completion is set for the fourth quarter of 2027.

Every format here comes in one fixed size rather than a range: a one-bedroom is 56 sqm, a two-bedroom 84 sqm, a three-bedroom 113 sqm. There are no studios, and two-bedroom units make up most of the building — a format built for a family or for letting, not a studio-heavy layout chasing yield per square metre.

If you are going to live here

Basic infrastructure sits close by: a medical centre and a supermarket within 500 metres, a school within 700. But the development itself is built as part of the Laguna Phuket resort enclave rather than a residential neighbourhood — the grounds are geared toward concierge service, a shuttle, and access to golf and beach clubs rather than everyday life outside a resort. As a full-time home it suits someone who wants that resort setting, not city routine.

If you are buying to let

This is the scenario the building was designed around. Banyan Group Residences runs its own managed-rental programme, Banyan Living, so owners can let without setting up their own management or finding tenants themselves. Laguna Phuket is an established resort destination with year-round demand, which favours nightly holiday letting: RAVA Beach Club privileges and the golf and wellness facilities nearby are what a tourist is after, not a long-term resident.

If you are holding for capital growth

Completion is due at the end of 2027, so some of the construction-stage gain is still ahead. Banyan Group Residences runs its own hospitality brand, which reduces the risk of the unit sitting idle after handover. Laguna Phuket is an established destination rather than an emerging development area — an argument for liquidity rather than for fast price growth.
