Sunshine Beachcondos in Layan, Phuket

Sunshine Beach is a resort complex in Layan, Phuket, built by T.H Group (Tenghui) and constructed by CRCC. It stands about a kilometre and a half from Layan Beach, with Bang Tao Beach and Laguna Golf Phuket a similar distance away. The building was completed and handed over in mid-2024.

Studios outnumber every other format in the building combined, from 28.5 up to 44.9 square metres. At the far end sits a single three-bedroom apartment of 195.3 square metres — more than twice the size of the largest two-bedroom unit here. Almost nothing in between is built for a typical family: the building runs from compact resort studios to one outsized flagship apartment, with barely a middle ground.

If you are going to live here

This is a resort building built around compact studios, not family life: the catalogue lists no school or clinic among the points nearby, only a national park, a golf course and beaches within three kilometres. It suits an owner who wants a base near the golf course and Layan's forest reserve rather than a household putting down roots — the closest beach itself is a kilometre and a half away, not a doorstep walk.

If you are buying to let

The building has been complete since mid-2024, so a studio here can be let immediately, with none of the wait a project still under construction carries. Studio-sized units are the classic short-stay format, and Layan's golf course, national park and a cluster of beaches within three kilometres give a holiday tenant plenty of reasons to book — though at a kilometre and a half to the nearest beach, this reads as a resort-area address rather than a beachfront one. The lone three-bedroom apartment is a different proposition: too large and too singular to run as a nightly rental, it suits a buyer after one big, quiet home rather than turnover.

If you are holding for capital growth

Handover is behind, not ahead: the construction-stage gain has already been taken, since the building has stood complete since mid-2024. What is left is the pull of the location — a golf course, a national park and several beaches within three kilometres keep demand coming from holidaymakers and renters rather than from new building elsewhere in the immediate area. A studio-heavy building with one singular large apartment is a narrow resale market at the top end and a wider one at the bottom.
