What we have checkedWe have listed this project but have not inspected it. What we publish comes from the developer's own statements, which we have not checked independently. Last checked 23 August 2026.
The lease, and what renewal actually means.
- Addresses
- 4 series
- Formats
- Villas and lakefront condominiums
- Estate
- Laguna Phuket
Both structures exist in this project. Which one attaches to the specific unit changes what you own, so establish it early.
These do not add up to a single term. Only the left block is a right registered today; what follows depends on the wording of the clause and on who stands behind it when the time comes.
Term. Divides by format: condominium apartments and villa product are ordinarily held under different structures.
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
Because Lakelands mixes villas with lakefront condominiums, tenure is not one answer across the masterplan. Condominium apartments can ordinarily be held freehold by foreign buyers within the 49 per cent foreign quota of a building's sellable area. Villa and land product is ordinarily offered to foreign buyers on a registered lease. We are confirming the exact term and renewal mechanics per series with Banyan Group, and will state them here once read. Whichever series you are shown, establish in writing whether any 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 Laguna Lakelands actually is.
Lakelands is not one building. It is the freshwater half of the Laguna Phuket estate, developed as a series of addresses around the lagoon system rather than the beach, and four names sit inside it: Banyan Tree Lake Residences Yara, Lakelands Waterfront Villas, Laguna Lake Residences Aster and Laguna Beach Residences Bayside.

The lagoons are the reason Laguna Phuket exists in its present form. The land was a worked-out tin mine before Banyan Group rehabilitated it from 1994 onward, and the water bodies left behind became the estate's organising feature. Lakefront product on this estate therefore sits on the part of the land with the longest development history and the most established landscaping, which is not usually true of waterfront elsewhere on the island.
Formats divide between villas and lakefront condominiums, which means the ownership question divides too: condominium apartments can be held freehold within the 49 per cent foreign quota, while villa and land product is normally leasehold for foreign buyers. Establish which of the four series you are being shown before discussing price.
Laguna Lakelands, answered plainly.
What is Laguna Lakelands?
The lagoon half of the Laguna Phuket estate on the Bang Tao shore, developed by Banyan Group as a masterplan of four residential series rather than a single building: Banyan Tree Lake Residences Yara, Lakelands Waterfront Villas, Laguna Lake Residences Aster and Laguna Beach Residences Bayside. Formats run from villas to lakefront condominiums, so the price, the ownership structure and the buyer differ from one series to the next.
Are the Lakelands homes freehold or leasehold?
It depends which series, and that is the single most important question to settle first. Condominium apartments in Thailand can ordinarily be held freehold by foreign buyers within the 49 per cent foreign quota of a building's sellable area. Villa and land product is ordinarily offered to foreign buyers on a registered lease instead, because Thai law restricts foreign land ownership. Lakelands contains both. We are confirming the exact structure and renewal mechanics per series with Banyan Group before stating them. This is general information, not legal advice.
Why is the lagoon setting significant?
Because of what the land used to be. Laguna Phuket was a worked-out tin mine before Banyan Group began rehabilitating it in 1994, and the water bodies left behind became the estate's organising feature. Lakefront homes here therefore sit on the most established part of the estate, with three decades of landscaping and infrastructure behind them, rather than on newly cleared land. That is an unusual thing to be able to say about waterfront product on Phuket.

Who sells Laguna Lakelands?
Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for Laguna Lakelands, 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.
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.
