Salila Sol is built by Riva Development in Cherngtalay, in the Bang Tao area. The project is deliberately tiny: a site of about 2,815 m² holds just five villas, each with a private pool. Completion is planned for Q3 2026; we are confirming the current construction status with the developer.
The word salila refers to light dancing on the surface of a river, and the idea runs through the design: pale facades, large glass walls and pool water right by the living room. The style is described as contemporary architecture with Thai touches: deep overhangs, timber slats and a calm palette inside.
What sets Salila Sol apart from most villas in the area is the size of the homes. There are no compact 200 m² villas here: every residence starts at 500 m², and the master suite has its own private living room. The format suits large families and people moving to the island long term who want a house where everyone has their own space. Five neighbours instead of a hundred means quiet and a predictable setting.
There are two house types, and every bedroom looks onto the pool. Each villa has a fully equipped kitchen, a panoramic living and dining area and a landscaped garden.
About 500 m² on a plot of roughly 455 to 460 m², with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. From 41.9M ฿.
About 588 to 594 m² on a plot of about 589 m², with five bedrooms and five bathrooms. From 48.9M ฿.
There is no shared clubhouse or gym: with only five homes, life centres on your own villa, and the services of the area take the place of on-site facilities.
Cherngtalay lies between Bang Tao and Surin beaches. From here it is easy to reach the Laguna resort and golf club, Boat Avenue shopping centre, Blue Tree water park and the restaurants of Bang Tao. Banyan Tree, Trisara and Anantara hotels are all in the area, which has long been established as calm and upmarket. The airport is a short drive away, convenient for frequent flyers.
Foreign buyers hold the land on a 30-year lease with two renewals. The developer's schedule was 2% reservation, 28% within 30 days, then 20%, 25% and 15% at construction stages and 10% on handover. We confirm the current payment terms at this stage with Riva Development.
