With the rise of branded residences taking root, Banyan Tree Property Group has unveiled the new Angsana Oceanview Residences in a rollout of luxury branded real estate in the self-contained Laguna Phuket development…
With clear trends emerging in the hospitality and lifestyle market there is a visible desire to live dreams, seize the day and explore the world, with health, wellbeing, along with remote working all very much top of mind. Relocating to seek new business possibilities, personal growth or a new horizon for young families or early retirees are all factors that are driving attention to destinations such as Phuket in Thailand. A destination that has quickly re-emerged onto the global scene in many ways due to the Sandbox initiative which saw Phuket as the first place in Asia to reopen its borders to international travel. The branded residence concept responds to these trends, and the Angsana Oceanview Residences, a new addition to The Banyan Tree Group portfolio, provides an integrated lifestyle driven destination for those embracing a new flexible lifestyle.

The world has changed in many ways and with that it has adjusted our perspectives – and it is a change certainly being felt at Laguna Phuket, a 1,000-acre community built on old tin mining land – a feat in repurposing even before repurposing was the big development buzzword it is today. Over 30 years ago the founder of Banyan Tree Holdings, KP Ho, bought the land, cleared it and filled in the craters where tin was mined to create a series of stunning natural lagoons. Over the years the destination has morphed into an elegant enclave of hospitality and residences, where a total of seven hotels are located, surrounded by lagoons, three miles of beachfront, cycling paths, the new wellness concept The Veya by Banyan Tree, boutique shops, restaurants and beach clubs – even a recent floating bar addition “The Atoll” in the middle of one of the lagoons – and an 18-hole golf course. The area surrounding Laguna Phuket, Cherng Talay, has blossomed as a result – with freestanding restaurants, gourmet supermarkets, specialist wine outlets and a host of other fitness and arts activities.

“Creating an integrated community has always been at the heart of our brand DNA since our founding in 1983,” said Mr. Stuart Reading, Deputy CEO of Laguna Resorts & Hotels. “Our transformation from a former tin mine into the resort destination has been quite a journey. Now, we are giving our international clientele the opportunity to transform their lives. We are seeing increased demand from buyers who are looking for both primary and secondary homes in a relaxing setting where they can enjoy a premium lifestyle and complete peace-of-mind, supported by leading brands, spectacular scenery and there’s of course the beach with Bangtao Bay a sublime backdrop.”
