Lotus Gardens: apartments in Bang Tao

Lotus Gardens: house-sized apartments in a mature garden

Lotus Gardens was built in Choeng Thale long before the current construction wave: the development by Layan Property Development was completed in 2005. The site covers about 11,325 m² and holds residential buildings of up to 6 floors with 50 residences in total. It is a mixed format, with spacious apartments, penthouses and villas inside one secured perimeter.

What sets it apart from the newer condominiums nearby is the floor area. There are almost no compact studios here: a typical unit measures between 179 and 345 m², which is closer to a detached villa than to a holiday flat. Twenty years of growth have turned the grounds into a landscaped park with a fountain, a pond and paths between the buildings.

Lotus Gardens suits families who need several bedrooms and plenty of space, and buyers who prefer a finished home they can inspect in person instead of waiting for handover.

Residence types

Two-bedroom apartments

From 179 to 333 m² with two bathrooms. A 330 m² unit is offered on the resale market from 21 million THB; some of these apartments are held on leasehold.

Three- and four-bedroom penthouses

Top-floor homes of 301 to 350 m² with three to five bathrooms. Current listings start from 24 million THB, and the penthouses are sold under the foreign quota.

Three-bedroom villas

A separate format of roughly 340 to 345 m² with three bathrooms. A villa in the complex is listed from 29.5 million THB.

On-site facilities

• Large communal pool with a built-in jacuzzi
• Gym overlooking the pool
• Garden with a fountain, a pond and open lawns
• Reception and lobby
• Parking at one space per unit
• 24-hour security and CCTV

The facilities are geared to quiet living: there are no noisy shared zones or shops on the ground floors.

The area

The complex sits in the Choeng Thale subdistrict, in the northern part of Bang Tao near Layan Beach. This is one of the greenest, most low-rise parts of the west coast, with hills, private villas and resort hotels rather than dense urban blocks. For shopping and dining residents use the Laguna, Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket centres, and Chaba and Tops Daily supermarkets are close by. Surin Beach and its beach clubs are an easy drive away.

Buying terms

Lotus Gardens is sold on the resale market only, so terms depend on the specific unit. Some apartments and penthouses are available to foreigners as freehold within the quota, others are held on long-term lease. Before a deal it is worth checking the title type, the remaining lease term and the maintenance and sinking fund charges.
