The Sanctuary Club: what an owner at Laguna Phuket actually gets in 2026

Owner benefits are quoted in every Laguna sales conversation and almost never itemised, which makes them impossible to value. Here is the whole 2026 schedule, venue by venue, together with the conditions printed on the back of it.

The Sanctuary Club is Banyan Group’s owner-benefit programme on the Laguna Phuket estate, giving a residence owner a fixed discount at nine of the estate’s operators, from the hotels and their restaurants to the golf course and the medical clinic, for the calendar year 2026. It is raised in almost every conversation about buying inside Laguna, and it is almost never itemised, which leaves a buyer asked to put a value on something nobody has shown them. Below is the whole schedule, and the conditions attached to it.

What the card actually is

A discount card held by an owner inside Laguna Phuket. What gives it weight is that the estate has been running since 1994, so every venue on it is a place you can walk into this afternoon.

Read the full explanation

It is a discount card, held by the owner of a residence inside Laguna Phuket, presented physically or as an e-card each time it is used. It is one component of the wider owner package Banyan Group calls the Laguna Advantage, not the whole of it, and the two are often used as if they were the same thing.

The estate is the reason the card has any weight. Laguna has been operating since 1994, so the hotels, restaurants, spas, the 18-hole course, the beach club and the clinic all exist and can be walked before anyone buys anything. A benefits card at an estate that has not been built yet is a promise about venues that do not exist. This one is a discount at places you can stand in this afternoon.

The 2026 schedule, venue by venue

Nine operators carry it. Where the sheet shows access rather than a percentage, it means the facility is open to the owner rather than discounted.

Banyan Tree Phuket

30 per cent off rooms, 25 off food and drink, 20 off the spa, 20 in the gallery, 15 off meeting rooms.

Angsana Laguna Phuket

30 per cent off rooms, 25 off food and drink, 20 off the spa, 20 in the gallery, 15 off meeting rooms. Pool, beach and fitness access is restricted from 1 December to 31 March 2026, and again from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Those are the card's own words: it does not state the opening year of the first window, so confirm it with the operator before planning a stay around it.

HOMM Phuket Laguna

30 per cent off rooms, 25 off food and drink, with access to the pool, the fitness room and the kids' club.

Cassia Phuket

30 per cent off rooms, 25 off food and drink, with pool access.

Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket

30 per cent off rooms, 20 off food and drink, 20 off the spa, 15 off meeting rooms.

SAii Phuket Laguna

10 per cent off rooms, 15 off food and drink. The lowest line on the sheet, and worth knowing before it is counted with the rest.

The largest discount on the card

Laguna Golf Phuket

50 per cent off green fees and 15 per cent on the tennis courts.

RAVA Beach Club

25 per cent off food and drink, with pool and beach access.

BDMS Wellness Clinic Laguna Phuket

As an in-patient, 15 per cent off the room and 15 off medicine. As an out-patient, 15 off medicine. Every wellness package is 15 per cent off, other than nutritional supplements and Botox or filler treatments.

The conditions are the half nobody quotes

They are printed on the same sheet as the percentages, and they decide what the percentages are worth.

  • The benefits run from 1 January to 31 December 2026, and no further.
  • They cannot be combined with or used alongside any other offer or promotion. An owner rate and a seasonal rate are an either-or, never a stack.
  • They do not apply during festive periods or special events, which is exactly when an owner is most likely to have family staying.
  • They do not apply to in-room dining, and alcohol is excluded throughout.
  • The card, physical or electronic, has to be presented to be honoured.
  • They are available within Laguna Phuket only, and Laguna Phuket reserves the right to amend or change any of it without prior notice.

What it is worth, honestly

Three lines carry real money — the golf, the everyday food and drink, and the medical discount. The headline room discount is the one with a catch in it.

Read the full explanation

Three of these lines carry real money and the rest are pleasant. The green fee is the strongest: golf at Laguna is a recurring cost for anyone who plays, so halving it repays more across a year of ownership than a single discounted hotel stay does. The food and drink line is the one that compounds quietly, because it applies to the ordinary evening rather than the special occasion. And the medical discount is the one nobody thinks about until the afternoon it matters.

The room discount is the headline and it is also the one with the honest tension in it. Thirty per cent off a Banyan Tree room is a serious number for visiting family. It is also unavailable across festive periods and special events, which is when visiting family tends to visit. Both of those sentences are true and the sheet prints both.

A benefits card is a reason to enjoy owning something. It is not, by itself, a reason to buy it.

What none of it does is change the things that decide whether the purchase was sound. It does not move the tenure, the service charge, the rental demand or the resale price. Treat it the way you would treat a good neighbour: a genuine improvement to living there, and no part of the arithmetic.

Where it sits inside the Laguna Advantage

The card is one part of the owner package, not the whole of it. The two get used as though they were the same thing.

Read the full explanation

The Sanctuary Club is one item in the larger package. The developer describes the Laguna Advantage as including a first year of property management and of insurance, schooling benefits, a BDMS Chivawattana health card, enrolment in the Banyan Living network for private residence rentals, and Sanctuary Club membership. Several addresses also carry golf membership at Laguna Golf Phuket and access to the RAVA Beach Club.

Every one of those is offered on the developer’s own terms, and the terms are the point. A first year of property management is worth what the second year costs. A rental enrolment is worth what the split and the exit clause say. Ask for each set of conditions in writing before any of it is added to the value of the home, which is the same discipline this article applies to the discount card itself.

Which addresses this attaches to

The card belongs to the estate, so it sits behind the homes inside it. Banyan’s own brochure for its beachfront flagship names Sanctuary Club membership among the owner benefits.

The addresses it covers: Banyan Tree Beach Residences Oceanus, Banyan Tree Grand Residences, Angsana Oceanview Residences, Angsana Golf Residences Topaz, Laguna Lake Residences Aster, Bellaguna Lake Residences Lotus, Laguna Beach Residences Bayside, Residences at Garrya Phuket and Lakelands Waterfront Villas. Which components come with which address is set by the developer per project and per launch, so it is a question to ask about the specific unit rather than about the estate. Embark Estate is an appointed sales agency for Banyan Group, signed in writing in August 2026 and not exclusive, and we will put that question in writing for you.

Common questions

What is the Sanctuary Club at Laguna Phuket?

The Sanctuary Club is Banyan Group's owner-benefit programme for residence owners on the Laguna Phuket estate. It gives an owner a fixed discount at the group's hotels, restaurants, spas, retail, golf course, beach club and medical partner inside the estate, presented as a physical card or an e-card each time it is used. The 2026 schedule runs from 1 January to 31 December 2026 and covers nine operators: Banyan Tree Phuket, Angsana Laguna Phuket, HOMM Phuket Laguna, Cassia Phuket, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, SAii Phuket Laguna, Laguna Golf Phuket, the RAVA Beach Club, and BDMS Wellness Clinic Laguna Phuket with its hospital partners.

What discounts do Laguna Phuket owners get in 2026?

On rooms, 30 per cent at Banyan Tree Phuket, Angsana Laguna Phuket, HOMM Phuket Laguna, Cassia Phuket and Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, and 10 per cent at SAii Phuket Laguna. On food and drink, 25 per cent at Banyan Tree, Angsana, HOMM, Cassia and the RAVA Beach Club, 20 per cent at Dusit Thani and 15 per cent at SAii. On the spa, 20 per cent at Banyan Tree, Angsana and Dusit Thani, and 20 per cent at the Banyan Tree and Angsana galleries. Golf is the outlier at 50 per cent on green fees at Laguna Golf Phuket, with 15 per cent on the tennis courts and 15 per cent on meeting rooms at four of the hotels. On health, 15 per cent on room and medicine as an in-patient, 15 per cent on medicine as an out-patient, and 15 per cent on every BDMS Wellness Clinic package other than nutritional supplements and Botox or filler treatments. HOMM, Cassia and the RAVA Beach Club also carry access rather than a discount at the pool, the beach, the fitness room or the kids' club.

Do the Sanctuary Club benefits work at Banyan Tree hotels outside Phuket?

Not on this schedule. The 2026 sheet states plainly that these benefits are available within Laguna Phuket only, so it is an estate card rather than a global one. Banyan Group operates a wider Sanctuary Club across its hotels and a separate Banyan Living network for private residence rentals, and an owner should ask which of those they are being enrolled in, on what terms, and for how long. The document that governs the numbers in this article covers the Phuket estate.

What is excluded from the Sanctuary Club discounts?

Four things, and they matter more than the percentages. The discounts cannot be combined with or used alongside any other offer or promotion, so the owner rate and a seasonal rate are an either-or rather than a stack. They do not apply during festive periods or special events, which is precisely when an owner is most likely to have family staying. They do not apply to in-room dining, and alcohol is excluded throughout. The card, physical or electronic, has to be presented to be honoured, and Laguna Phuket reserves the right to amend or withdraw any of it without prior notice.

Is the Sanctuary Club the same as the Laguna Advantage?

No. The Laguna Advantage is the wider owner package Banyan Group offers on this estate, and the developer describes it as including a first year of property management and of insurance, schooling benefits, a BDMS Chivawattana health card, enrolment in the Banyan Living network for private residence rentals, and Sanctuary Club membership. The Sanctuary Club is one component of it: the discount card. Several Laguna addresses also carry golf membership and RAVA Beach Club access alongside it. Each of those is offered on the developer's own terms, and each is worth reading before it is counted as value.
