Garrya or Laguna Residences, hotel-run or not.
Garrya and Laguna Residences are both Banyan Group products inside the same estate on the Bang Tao shore of Phuket, and the line between them is whether a hotel runs the building: this register holds 1 Garrya address and 3 under Laguna Residences, out of 20 residential projects on the estate.
The Garrya apartments are hotel-managed, which means the operator's management agreement governs what an owner may do with the home and when; the Laguna Residences buildings carry the estate's name rather than a hotel's and are sold as homes rather than as hotel inventory.
One of the Laguna Residences addresses is finished and can be walked today. On the Garrya side, the build state of the one Garrya address is unconfirmed, because no document we hold establishes it.
What the brand is Garrya / Laguna Residences
Garrya
Garrya is Banyan Group's quiet, wellbeing-led hotel brand, and at Laguna Phuket it names hotel-managed apartments and penthouses beside the Garrya resort, at the smallest footprints on this comparison.
Where the addresses sit. Within reach of the beach and hotel-serviced.
The product.
- Residences at Garrya Phuket: 1-2 bedroom apartments and penthouses, 57 to 316 sqm, hotel-managed
What is standing, and what is not. No Garrya address is finished. The build state of the one Garrya address is unconfirmed, because no document we hold establishes it.
What tenure is stated. The one Garrya address publishes no ownership structure we have read the papers for.
The service. The building is run by the hotel, so housekeeping, maintenance and letting sit with the operator under a management agreement, and that agreement, not the floor plan, decides how freely an owner uses the home.
Who it suits. A buyer who wants a lock-up-and-leave apartment that somebody else runs, who is in Phuket part of the year, and who will read the management agreement line by line before signing.
Laguna Residences
Laguna Residences is the estate's own residential name rather than a hotel's, and it covers the widest run of sizes on this comparison, from the smallest apartments on the estate upward, beside the lagoon and the beach.
Where the addresses sit. Within reach of the beach and on the lagoon system.
The product.
- Laguna Beach Residences Bayside: 1-3 bedroom condominiums and 2-3 bedroom penthouses, 75 to 358 sqm
- Laguna Lake Residences Aster: 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums, 55 to 113 sqm
- Laguna Beach Residences Seashore: 1 to 3-bedroom condominiums from 60 sqm, semi-outdoor lanai, a few metres from the beach
What is standing, and what is not. One of the Laguna Residences addresses is finished and can be walked today (Laguna Beach Residences Seashore). The build state of two of the three Laguna Residences addresses is unconfirmed, because no document we hold establishes it.
What tenure is stated. All three Laguna Residences addresses publish no ownership structure we have read the papers for.
The service. Estate services reach these buildings, the golf course, the beach clubs, the shuttle, the clinics and the international kindergarten, without a hotel operator standing between an owner and their home.
Who it suits. A family relocating for the schools and the year-round estate, or a first Phuket purchase that wants the infrastructure without the management agreement.
The brand, service and buyer lines on this page are read from Banyan Group's own pages and from Embark Estate's file on the estate. Every count, name, setting, build state and tenure state is derived from the records at the moment the page is built. Checked .
Who each is not for.
Garrya. Not for a buyer who wants full control of their own home, a villa or townhome footprint, or a building whose construction state can be established today.
Laguna Residences. Not for a buyer who wants the hotel to run the home while they are away, nor for one who wants the largest branded villas on the estate, which sit under other names.
Every address on the estate, with its setting, build state and ownership, is on the Laguna Phuket estate page. What leasehold and freehold actually mean for a foreign buyer on this island is set out in our article on tenure in Phuket.
Every fact we hold on this estate, one sourced and dated sentence at a time, is on the Laguna Phuket facts sheet
