Akra Collection Layan 1 is a small estate of 28 villas, each with its own pool, on a hillside in Layan. It was built by Akra Development and completed in 2022. The estate borders a nature reserve, and buildings cover only about 30% of the land: the remaining 70% is shared gardens and green space. The houses sit among the trees, many of which were kept during construction.
The villas face the sea, and the upper floors look out to Layan beach and Andaman sunsets. The developer chose the format that is easiest to let: a compact home with one bedroom and its own pool instead of an apartment in a large condominium.
The master bedroom is upstairs and the living room downstairs, which converts easily into a second bedroom, so the villa suits a couple, two couples or a family with children. There is an outdoor shower and toilet, the bathroom separates wet and dry zones, and the bathtub has its own basin. Large windows, balconies and direct access to a private pool. From 12.9M THB.
Layan is the quiet northern stretch of coast next to Bang Tao and the Laguna Phuket resort complex. It has few tourists, a wide sunset beach and a handful of upscale hotels. Restaurants, supermarkets, golf courses and the Bang Tao shopping streets are a few minutes' drive away, and the airport is not far.
The villas are registered as a condominium, so foreigners receive freehold title that can be inherited. Each unit comes with a share of the common areas: gardens, the clubhouse and the kids' club.
At launch the developer offered a management programme with a guaranteed 6% a year for the first five years, followed by a 50/50 rental income split for up to 30 years. Owners can stay 30, 60 or 90 days a year. Whether these terms apply to a resale unit must be checked case by case, and we can help with that.
