Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu
Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu is a row of five four-bedroom beachfront pool villas on Bang Tao beach inside the Laguna Phuket estate, Phuket, each on two levels with 631 square metres built on a 560 square metre plot, an infinity pool and terrace on the upper floor and a private lawn with a gate onto the sand, developed by Banyan Group, with the final two villas released in October 2026.
Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu. →
Mazu launched in December 2023 as the Banyan Tree Beach Villas, and the developer's own page still carries that name in its title; its July 2024 master plan lists it as Banyan Tree Beach Villas and its July 2026 master plan as Banyan Tree Mazu. Same five villas, same position. Aegir, the series' other villa address, is a separate row.

Its aerial render shows the villas' lawns and the beach vegetation between the houses and the sand. The beach itself is public. We print the developer's claim as a claim; Oceanus is the series' absolute-beachfront building.

The lease, and what renewal actually means.
Confirming
We are confirming the structure with the developer before stating it. We would rather show you the gap than fill it with a guess.
Is renewal contractual or marketing? Not yet established. Until we have read the clause, treat any renewal you are offered verbally as a marketing statement rather than a contractual right, because that is the safer of the two assumptions and the difference is worth many years of ownership.
What to establish before committing
Not stated on the developer's page or in its mailer of October 2026. Its group-level guide of June 2025 describes 'freehold condominiums and leasehold villas'. A villa is house-and-land product, and a foreign national cannot hold Thai land outright: on Phuket estates the structure is commonly a registered 30-year lease of the land with the villa owned outright, and renewal options that are contractual promises rather than registrable rights. Which structure applies to these five plots goes in writing before anything else, and we read the papers with your counsel.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Any lease should be read by independent Thai counsel before signing.
Prices, availability, construction progress and ownership wording all move; we refresh them before any reservation and would rather show you the date than let a stale fact look current.
The project
What Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu actually is.
Mazu is the smallest address in the Beach Residences series: five villas in a row on the Bang Tao sand at the southern end of the Laguna Phuket beachfront, each a four-bedroom house on two levels. The developer's own figures of October 2026 give 631 square metres built on a 560 square metre plot. The living, dining and kitchen run as one room on the upper floor and open onto a terrace with an infinity pool facing the sea; the four bedrooms, a home gym and a multipurpose room sit on the ground floor around an internal courtyard, with a private lawn and a gate onto the beach.
Banyan Group launched the five in December 2023 and told Embark on 8 October 2026 that the final two would be released the following week. That is the whole remaining supply of this row. The price for those two is on the developer's list, which we confirm in writing at inquiry; the developer's mailer of October 2026 also offers a deferred payment plan of up to five years, on its terms. Tenure, the build state and the completion date are not in any developer document we hold, so none is printed here, and each is a written question before a reservation. Embark is one of Banyan Group's appointed sales agencies.

The developer
Who is building it, and what already stands around it.
Read the full record
Banyan Group, listed in Singapore and Thailand, has been building the Laguna Phuket estate on this shore since 1994. Mazu sits at the southern end of the estate's beachfront, number 35 on the developer's July 2026 master plan, beside Varuna and the Residences at Garrya, with the SAii Laguna Phuket hotel and the estate's lagoons behind.
That is the useful way to judge a row of five villas sold from renders: the golf course, the RAVA Beach Club, the hotels and the clinic around the site are not a drawing. They have operated for three decades and can be walked on the same visit as the plot.
A buyer at the very top of this market who wants a house on the Bang Tao sand rather than an apartment over it, with a 631 square metre villa, its own pool and lawn, and the Laguna estate's golf, beach club and hotels already operating around it.Read more
What it compromises
Villa product, so the land question comes first for a foreign buyer, and the developer has not published the tenure, the build state or the completion date. Five villas means a row rather than a community, and the beach in front is public. Only two remain, which is a reason to ask the questions quickly, never a reason to skip them.Read more
What we would ask first
Which two villas remain and the dated price for each; whether a villa can be walked today; the ownership structure on the plot in writing, and if a lease, its term and renewal wording; the plot and built-up figures on the floor plan; the exact terms behind the deferred payment plan and the Laguna Advantage list.Read more
This is Embark’s opinion, not a sourced fact, and it is labelled that way deliberately.
The viewing
What a visit here actually looks like.
Render1A Mazu visit starts on the sand in front of the row, so you see the actual frontage, the lawn and gate the developer describes, and the public beach that runs past it. Then the estate the villas sit inside: the RAVA Beach Club a short walk south, the lagoons behind, the golf course and the hotels whose service the row inherits. The sales gallery comes after the ground, not instead of it.Read more
Render2As one of Banyan Group's appointed sales agencies we bring the developer's dated list for the two remaining villas and put your questions, the tenure, the build state, the plan figures, the payment terms, to the developer in writing afterwards. From abroad, the same route runs as a live video viewing in your time zone.Read more
Common questions
Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu, answered plainly.
What is Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu?
A row of five four-bedroom pool villas on Bang Tao beach inside the Laguna Phuket estate, developed by Banyan Group and launched in December 2023 as the Banyan Tree Beach Villas. Each villa is on two levels, 631 square metres built on a 560 square metre plot by the developer's figures of October 2026, with the living floor and an infinity pool upstairs, the bedrooms and a home gym on the ground floor, and a private lawn with a gate onto the sand.
How many villas are there, and how many are left?
Five in total, in the developer's own words at launch in December 2023: 'only five villas for sale'. On 8 October 2026 Banyan Group told Embark that the final two were being released the following week. Two of five is the whole remaining supply of this row, and as one of the developer's appointed sales agencies we confirm which two, and at what price, on the developer's dated list at inquiry.
How big is a Mazu villa?
631 square metres built on a 560 square metre plot, over two levels, per the developer's mailer of October 2026. Upstairs is one open living, dining and kitchen room running onto the terrace and infinity pool; downstairs are the four bedrooms, a home gym and a multipurpose room around an internal courtyard, opening to the private garden and lawn. The developer's floor plans are issued on registration, and we read the plot and built-up figures off them with you before a reservation.
Is Mazu freehold or leasehold?
Not stated on the developer's page or in its October 2026 mailer. Banyan's group-level guide of June 2025 describes its villas as leasehold, and a villa is house-and-land, which a foreign national cannot own outright in Thailand. The common structure on Phuket estates is a registered 30-year lease of the land with the villa itself owned, plus renewal options that are contractual promises rather than registrable rights; never let 30+30+30 be quoted to you as ninety years. The exact structure for these five plots is the first thing we put to the developer in writing.
Is Mazu finished? Can a villa be walked today?
We have not established it. The developer's page and mailer show renders and describe the villas without a build state or a completion date, and Mazu has been on the Laguna Phuket resale page since at least September 2026, which suggests at least one owner but is not a statement of completion. Whether a villa can be walked today, and which of the two, is the first question we put to the sales office in writing before a visit is planned.
How much does a Mazu villa cost, and what are the payment terms?
Banyan Group has not published a price for Mazu, so we print none; the figure for the final two villas is on the developer's list and we confirm it in writing at inquiry. On terms, the developer's mailer of October 2026 offers a deferred payment plan of up to five years, with its own conditions attached. Common area fees, the sinking fund and the registration costs sit outside the price and are confirmed for the specific villa before anything is signed.
What comes with owning at Mazu?
The developer's mailer of October 2026 lists what it calls the Laguna Advantage, with terms and conditions attached: one year of property services and insurance, golf and RAVA Beach Club membership, Sanctuary Club membership across the Banyan Group network, healthcare and education benefits, and enrolment in Banyan Living. Its December 2023 release added professional property management by Banyan Tree with a 24-hour concierge, maintenance and rental services. Each is the developer's offer, dated, and we confirm what applies to a specific villa in writing.
Facts on this page are current as of October 2026 and are drawn from Embark’s own market briefing and the developer’s published materials. Where a fact reads as being confirmed, we are verifying it with the developer before stating it.

Considering Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu?
Who sells Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu?
Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for Banyan Tree Beach Residences Mazu, appointed in writing by Banyan Group and confirmed on 24 August 2026. Ask us and you get the developer’s own current prices and availability, dated, and we handle the viewing, the reservation and the paperwork with you.
Our team replies within four hours, 9 to 19 Bangkok time.
Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for this project, appointed by Banyan Group. We can put the developer's own current availability and pricing in front of you rather than a portal's.
In practice that means we work from the developer’s own price list and unit schedule rather than from what has reached a portal. It does not change what we will tell you: an appointment is not a reason to recommend a building, and we will still say when this one does not suit the brief. Our Bangkok appointments are stated on the Bangkok branded-residences register. The developer publishes its own channel for this project at www.banyangroupresidences.com.
We publish no yield or capital-growth figure for this project. The one market figure we quote is Knight Frank Thailand’s: typical Phuket condominium yields of 5 to 8 per cent a year and villas of 10 to 15 per cent (2024 year-end, before costs); a single building can do better or worse. Where an operator publishes audited numbers for a specific building we quote them with their date, because a guaranteed return is usually a price concession wearing a yield’s clothing.
