Maan Tawan: apartments in Bang Tao

Maan Tawan: Thai architecture right by the sea

Maan Tawan is one of the older, more intimate projects in northern Bang Tao. It was completed in 2004, with Tawan Properties listed as the developer. About 16 rai of land (roughly 25,600 m²) holds just 29 residences, and no building rises above 3 floors. Density is far lower than in modern condominiums, and the grounds feel more like a private resort.

The architecture is Thai in style, with tall pitched roofs, open sala pavilions, columns and dark timber. The complex opens directly onto the beach, giving residents their own access to the sea. That is the main thing that sets Maan Tawan apart from most neighbours, which sit in the second or third row from the water.

It suits a buyer who values the sea a few steps away, privacy and a large home over a new build and a long list of services.

Residence types

Maan Tawan offers three types of residence, all well above the market average in size.

Apartments

Apartments of about 190 m². No prices for this format are currently published.

Three-bedroom penthouses

Top-floor homes with a rooftop garden and a private pool. The project data gives about 300 m², while the current listing states 519 m² at 39 million THB, sold under the foreign quota.

Villas with 3 to 5 bedrooms

Two lines: Ocean View Villas and Waterside Villas. Villas range from 880 to 1,421 m², making them some of the most spacious homes on this part of the coast.

Facilities

• Free-form communal pool with sala pavilions
• Direct beach access
• Garden and barbecue area
• Reception and lobby
• Parking at one space per residence
• 24-hour security and CCTV

The area

The complex lies at the northern end of Bang Tao Beach in the Choeng Thale subdistrict, where the Laguna resort zone gives way to quieter stretches of coast towards Layan. Bang Tao is one of the longest beaches on the island, with soft sand and casuarina trees along the shore. Residents shop and dine at Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket, with the Laguna golf course and five-star hotels nearby.

How to buy

There is no developer stock left, so purchases are resales only. Penthouses can be registered to foreigners as freehold within the quota. Villas usually rely on a long-term land lease or a Thai company, so the ownership structure should be checked with a lawyer for each property. Supply is thin: usually one to three residences are openly for sale.
