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
Branded villas on Phuket estates are typically sold to foreign buyers on a registered leasehold rather than freehold. We are confirming the exact term and renewal mechanics at Grand Residences against Banyan Group's own documentation, and will state them here once read. Until then, treat any figure you are quoted verbally as unverified, and establish in writing whether renewal is a binding contractual clause or a marketing statement.
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.
What Banyan Tree Grand Residences actually is.
Nineteen pool villas, in three- and five-bedroom formats, inside the estate Banyan Group has run on this shore since 1994. Grand Residences is one of the few projects in this register where the developer still holds stock in a completed, walkable setting rather than selling from a drawing, which makes it a different kind of purchase from the off-plan Beach Residences series a short distance away.

Ownership carries membership of the Sanctuary Club and access to Laguna Golf and Xana Beach Club, so the villa comes with the estate's operating infrastructure attached rather than a promise of it. For a buyer whose objection to Phuket is that resort service standards fall away once the developer leaves, an operating estate with a thirty-year record is the direct answer.
This is villa product, which on Phuket means the ownership structure deserves more attention than the finishes. Read the tenure section below before anything else, and take the lease to independent counsel.
Banyan Tree Grand Residences, answered plainly.
Is developer stock still available at Banyan Tree Grand Residences?
Yes, as of August 2026 the developer still held inventory. That makes Grand Residences unusual in this register: most of the Banyan Group product currently marketed on the Bang Tao shore is off-plan, and here the estate, the villas and the club facilities can be walked before committing. Ask the sales office for the actual unsold list by villa type rather than the marketing availability chart, which is a different document and usually a more optimistic one.
What does Sanctuary Club membership include?
It is the owners' club attached to the Laguna Phuket estate, and ownership at Grand Residences carries it along with access to Laguna Golf and Xana Beach Club. The practical value is that the estate's service infrastructure has been operating since 1994 rather than being promised for a future phase, which is the usual weak point of resort branded residences: the brand is strongest at launch and the question is what the building feels like in year twelve.
How are the villas at Grand Residences owned?
We are confirming that against Banyan Group's documentation rather than stating it from convention. Villa product on Phuket is typically sold to foreign buyers on a registered lease, commonly a thirty-year term with renewal options, because Thai law restricts foreign land ownership. The detail that matters most is whether the renewal is a binding contractual clause or a marketing statement, since a renewal option is a promise from the landowner and not a right registrable in advance. This is general information rather than legal advice; take the lease to independent Thai counsel before committing.

Where we stand
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.

A marked cell matches this project. It is a marker of sameness, not a score: a different shore is often the reason to go and look.
