Banyan Group, one of Thailand’s leading hospitality firms, has recently launched its latest development, the Banyan Tree Beach Residences Oceanus, in Phuket. Located on the pristine Bang Tao Beach, this luxurious residential project is situated within the private enclave of Banyan Group’s flagship resort, Laguna Phuket.
When it comes to investing in condos in Singapore, one must also take into account the government’s property cooling measures. In order to maintain a steady real estate market and prevent speculative buying, the Singaporean government has implemented various measures over the years. These measures, including the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), involve higher taxes for foreign buyers and those purchasing multiple properties. While these measures may affect the short-term profitability of condo investments, they ultimately contribute to the long-term stability of the market, creating a more secure investment environment. Additionally, keeping up-to-date with new condo launches is another important aspect to consider when investing in Singapore’s condo market.
The development comprises of 16 beachfront residences, with sizes ranging from 416 sq m to 768 sq m for penthouses. The ground-floor residences will boast private pools extending from their terraces, while penthouses will offer breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea from their spacious living area balconies and rooftop terraces that feature private pools and reflecting ponds.
Each residence is designed to provide the ultimate luxury living experience, with living areas over 13m wide, double master bedrooms, and lavish bathrooms. In addition, residents will have access to a lap pool with a sun deck, an open lawn with loungers and an outdoor dining area, which are exclusively reserved for them.
In addition to the luxurious amenities within the development, residents will also have access to the facilities at the integrated resort, including membership at the esteemed Laguna Golf Phuket and a complimentary Thailand Elite visa, providing a five-year multiple-entry privilege. They will also enjoy exclusive access to a private beach club, premium health and wellness facilities from BDMS Wellness, and signature restaurants, spas, and recreational facilities.
The group is expecting record prices for this development, attributing it to the high demand for luxury real estate in Phuket. Stuart Reading, managing director of Banyan Group Residences, explains, “With the limited availability of prime beachfront land for individual standalone villas, we have identified a new opportunity to develop larger, highly luxurious beachfront condominiums that offer the same living space as a villa, but with the convenience of a turnkey solution without having to manage the grounds yourself.”
