Laguna Lake Residences Aster or Bellaguna Golf Residences: two ways into Laguna Phuket

Two Banyan Group condominiums inside Laguna Phuket, one by the main entrance and Boat Avenue, one beside the golf course. The payment plans match; the papers do not. Aster has the lower common fee and the choice not to let; Bellaguna Golf has a lease with written renewals, a transfer date of 2032 and homes up to 300 sqm. Compared from the developer's term sheets of October 2026.

Laguna Lake Residences Aster and Bellaguna Golf Residences are Banyan Group’s two condominiums inside Laguna Phuket, on Bang Tao, where a home on the developer’s October 2026 term sheets starts at ฿10.48M and ฿10.01M. Aster is three seven-floor buildings at the estate’s main entrance, beside Boat Avenue. Bellaguna Golf is two buildings on sale, Pentas and Hibiscus, beside the Laguna Golf course. The payment plans match. The fees, the lease and the letting rules do not.

Two addresses, two sets of papers

Both are Banyan Group, but each has its own selling company and its own documents. Aster is sold by Laguna Grande Limited, Bellaguna Golf by Bangtao Laguna Limited. The clearest difference is the monthly fee.

Where each one sits

Aster is the estate’s front door: by the main entrance, with Boat Avenue’s shops and restaurants on foot. Bellaguna Golf sits further inside the estate, beside the golf course. Neither developer prints a distance to the beach.

Read where each building stands

On Banyan’s site plan of October 2026, Aster has the Laguna Phuket main entrance to the east, Cassia Phuket to the north-west and Boat Avenue to the south, with a plot for future development to the west. Its brochure describes low-rise buildings overlooking a lake at the gateway to the estate. It is not part of Laguna Lakelands, the inland masterplan.

Bellaguna Golf’s site plan of July 2026 has a canal along the north, Laguna Fairway to the south and the Banyan Tree DoublePool Villas to the west. Pentas runs along the canal; Hibiscus stands by the entrance. The rest of the site is marked for future development. The brochure puts Bang Tao Beach “just a short drive away”.

Where the papers differ

Aster’s pack holds no sale agreement and no lease, so its terms come from the developer’s FAQ and term sheets. Bellaguna Golf’s pack holds both contracts, and they say more.

On paperAsterBellaguna Golf
HandoverNo date in the pack; the 2024 FAQ estimates 18 to 24 months a building from the start of constructionReady for transfer by 31 December 2032 at the latest, legal extensions allowed
Lease renewalCalled “renewable”, with no further wordingThree renewals of 30 years each, warranted in the standard lease
LettingOptional; lets under six months only through Banyan LivingEvery home joins the developer’s rental programme at purchase
WarrantyFive years on the structure, two on other parts, from completionFive years on the structure, two on other parts, from the condominium’s registration
KitchenPantry kitchen, hob and extractor hood; no brand namedBosch hob, hood and combination microwave, Grohe mixers, each “or equivalent”
Read the lease and transfer terms in full

Bellaguna Golf’s standard lease has the lessor “irrevocably and unconditionally” warrant three 30-year renewals, and repay three quarters, half or a quarter of the rent if Thai law blocks one. A renewal is still a promise in a contract, not a right registered in advance. On the freehold route the transfer fee is shared equally and the seller pays the taxes and stamp duty. A resale before transfer needs the developer’s consent and a fee of THB 75,000.

Aster’s papers call the lease renewable and add only that the lessee bears the cost. Its freehold title is registered about 180 days after full payment, once every building is complete. The transfer-cost split is left to a sale agreement not in the pack, so we read it with you before you reserve. This is general information, not legal advice: have an independent Thai lawyer read the contract before money moves.

Letting, and living there

Bellaguna is the brand Banyan Group created in December 2025 for year-round living, run apart from its hotel rooms. Even so, its sale agreement places every home in the developer’s rental programme. At Aster, joining the programme is a choice.

Aster

Lets of under six months go only through Banyan Living, the group's letting service, with the home in the furnished package. Longer lets are yours to arrange. An owner who never lets need not sign up.

Bellaguna Golf

The buyer signs Banyan Living's letting agreement with the purchase: ten years, renewing. Its Lifestyle option leaves the home free for the owner's own use; the other keeps it on the rental list, with up to 60 days' owner use a year. Lets of six months or less go only through the programme; longer lets may be arranged directly.

We publish no rental figure for either building. What a let home brings depends on the programme’s terms, its fees and how the home is used.

Which one suits whom

Central, simpler

Laguna Lake Residences Aster

For a home on foot from Boat Avenue, the lower common fee and the option to never let. 57 homes listed from ฿10.48M, 52 of them freehold from ฿12.84M, in one, two and three-bedroom sizes up to 113 sqm.

On the course, larger

Bellaguna Golf Residences

For an address on the golf course, a lease with written renewals, or a large home with its own pool. 57 homes listed from ฿10.01M, 52 of them freehold from ฿12.2M, up to 300 sqm in Hibiscus.

The same on both

Freehold within the 49 per cent foreign quota, or a 30-year registered lease. A sinking fund of THB 100 per sqm a year. Prices are fitted, with the furnished package sold separately. Both term sheets include membership of The Sanctuary Club.

Read the shared payment terms

Both term sheets carry the same two plans: 20 per cent at contract and the rest in four stages of construction, or half paid by construction and half after completion over one, three or five years, with interest. Ask for the developer’s rates in writing, with whether they are flat or on the reducing balance.

The reservation fee rises with the price: THB 100,000 below THB 30 million, THB 300,000 below THB 50 million and THB 500,000 below THB 100 million. At Bellaguna Golf, side letters add a Laguna Phuket Golf Club membership for some homes; which homes is not stated, and the owner pays the club’s fees. This is general information, not legal advice.

Every listed home is on each project page with its size, floor and price: Laguna Lake Residences Aster and Bellaguna Golf Residences. Laguna Lakelands, inland, starts lower: read Skypark Elara or Waterside. For how buying at Laguna works end to end, read How to buy at Laguna Phuket.

Common questions

Is Laguna Lake Residences Aster or Bellaguna Golf Residences better?

It depends on where you want to be and how you will use the home. Aster is three seven-floor buildings at the main entrance of Laguna Phuket, on foot from Boat Avenue, with a common fee of THB 50 per square metre a month and letting left to the owner. Bellaguna Golf is two buildings, Pentas and Hibiscus, beside the Laguna Golf course, with a fee of THB 100, a lease with three written 30-year renewals, homes up to 300 square metres and every home in the developer's rental programme.

Can a foreigner buy freehold at Aster and Bellaguna Golf Residences?

Yes, within each building's 49 per cent foreign quota, and both also sell on a 30-year registered lease. The leases differ. Bellaguna Golf's standard lease warrants three renewals of 30 years each and repays part of the rent if Thai law blocks one. Aster's papers call its lease renewable and say no more, and no lease is in the developer's pack. A renewal is a promise in a contract, not a registered right, so have an independent Thai lawyer read it. This is general information, not legal advice.

What are the fees at Aster and Bellaguna Golf Residences?

The common fee is THB 50 per square metre a month at Aster, from the developer's FAQ of 2024, for the first year and subject to change, and THB 100 at Bellaguna Golf, from its standard sale agreement. The sinking fund is THB 100 per square metre a year at both. At Bellaguna Golf the transfer fee is shared equally on the freehold route and a resale before transfer costs THB 75,000; at Aster the split is left to a sale agreement not in the developer's pack.

Can I let my apartment at Aster or Bellaguna Golf Residences?

Yes. Short lets go only through Banyan Living, the developer's letting service: under six months at Aster, six months or less at Bellaguna Golf. Longer lets may be arranged directly at both. The difference is the sign-up. At Aster the programme is optional. At Bellaguna Golf every home joins it at purchase, on a ten-year agreement whose Lifestyle option leaves the home free for the owner's own use. We publish no rental figure for either building.

When are Aster and Bellaguna Golf Residences finished?

Bellaguna Golf's standard sale agreement sets the buildings ready for transfer by 31 December 2032 at the latest, with legally permitted extensions. Aster has no completion date in any document in the developer's pack; its FAQ of 2024 estimated 18 to 24 months for each building from the start of construction. The payment stages follow the build, so we confirm in writing where each building stands before you reserve. Every picture of both projects is a render.
