Layan Hills Estate was built by SWB Estates Group and completed in November 2009. It has 32 two storey villas at 184 Moo 4, Si Sunthon, set back inside the Bang Tao area not far from Layan. No new homes are being built: villas change hands only through resale, so the choice depends on what owners currently offer.
The estate appeals to buyers who want a standalone house on a big plot with a mature garden rather than an apartment in a complex. Unlike newer projects nearby, where villas sit close together on 400 to 600 sqm plots, land here reaches 1,600 to 1,950 sqm per house and the trees are fully grown.
The villas follow resort style architecture with plenty of wood: living and dining rooms, an open kitchen, bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a private pool and outdoor lounge areas.
The base type has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and about 353 sqm of space. One villa of this format sits on a 1,600 sqm plot with several pavilions around a long pool, a gym room and a study.
Five bedrooms with 450 to 600 sqm according to the listing portal. Larger rebuilt houses also exist: one villa with 850 sqm of living space on a 1,950 sqm plot is offered at THB 95 million.
Bang Tao and neighbouring Layan belong to Cherng Talay, a resort district on the northwest coast that is popular with foreign buyers. Porto de Phuket and Boat Avenue malls, Lotus's, Makro and Villa Market supermarkets and many restaurants are close. Bang Tao beach and Laguna Phuket with its golf courses are a short drive away. The estate sits in a quiet pocket away from the main road, so resort noise hardly reaches it.
Layan Hills Estate attracts families relocating to Phuket for the long term who want a house with a garden rather than a flat facing the next block. Being finished, a villa can be inspected in person, including the pool, roof and building systems, instead of being bought from renders. Mature planting and settled neighbours give it the feel of a calm residential quarter, while Bang Tao restaurants and beaches stay close.
All villas are resale, so price and terms are set by the owner of each house. A fixed monthly fee covers the common areas, and the estate is managed by its owners. We can shortlist available homes and check the land documents for you.
