Avadina Hills by Anantara is one of Phuket's most private and exclusive residential projects. It was developed by Minor International, owner of the Anantara hotel brand. Only 22 villas sit on 100 rai (about 40 acres) of forested hillside above Layan beach, and each enjoys roughly 180-degree views of the Andaman Sea.
The houses are built on symmetry and clean lines. Dining and living areas on either side of the grand entrance merge into one space when the floor-to-ceiling glass walls slide back to the terrace and pool. Granite floors and teak ceilings run through the interiors, and the dining area has a show kitchen with a full service kitchen behind it.
Land plots of 2,785–3,715 m² and built-up areas of 2,452–3,373 m². An optional third level adds space for sleeping, a spa or entertainment, also with ocean views. Prices start at 560M THB.
Owners use the facilities of the neighbouring Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, reached by a residents-only road:
The resort team maintains the estate: landscaping, pool cleaning, repairs and 24-hour security.
Layan is the calmest part of the north-west coast, next to Bang Tao and Laguna Phuket. Development is sparse, forest is plentiful, and the wide beach faces the sunset, with luxury resorts bordering a national park.
Thai nationals and Thai companies buy freehold. Foreign buyers receive a 90-year leasehold (three 30-year terms) with no need for a Thai company, transferable and with an option to convert to freehold if the buyer becomes eligible. Registration costs are about 2% for freehold and 1.1% for leasehold.
Villas can join a hotel-managed rental programme. This is a rare asset for a very narrow group of buyers, valued for the Anantara brand and the small number of homes. The developer does not publish yields.
