Why Bangtao Is Phuket’s Best Investment Location
Bangtao has transformed from a quiet beach town into Phuket’s most dynamic luxury investment corridor. Home to the Laguna Phuket resort complex, world-class dining, and some of the island’s finest beach clubs, Bangtao attracts a sophisticated international clientele seeking premium villa living with resort-style amenities.
Land values in Bangtao have appreciated 10–15% annually over the past five years, driven by limited remaining development plots and surging demand from European, Middle Eastern, and Asian buyers. The area’s established infrastructure — including international schools, medical facilities, and high-end retail — makes it equally suitable for full-time residency and investment.
Bangtao Area Overview
Stretching along Phuket’s northwest coast, Bangtao offers a 6-kilometre beach, the Laguna complex with its golf course and marina, and easy access to Surin and Layan beaches. The area sits 25 minutes from Phuket International Airport and 20 minutes from the island’s main shopping centres.
Bangtao’s rental market benefits from year-round demand. Peak season (November–April) drives premium nightly rates, while the growing digital nomad community and long-stay visitors sustain strong occupancy through the green season. SKHAI’s Staylar hospitality management ensures consistent performance across all seasons.
