Banyan Group Brings $1 Billion Phuket Luxury Real Estate Showcase to Dubai

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 29, 2025: Banyan Group, Thailand’s leading luxury hospitality and real estate developer and the name behind the world-renowned Banyan Tree Resorts, is set to host its first-ever Laguna Phuket Property Showcase in Dubai on November 7–8 at Banyan Tree Dubai, Bluewaters.

The exclusive event will mark the Middle East debut of Banyan Group’s $1 billion Phuket residential portfolio, unveiling a diverse range of luxury investment opportunities set for rollout over the next three years.

Bringing Phuket’s Luxury Lifestyle to the GCC

“We are delighted to bring the beauty and investment appeal of Phuket directly to our GCC clients,” said Stuart Reading, Managing Director of Banyan Group Residences. “Dubai is the perfect gateway for introducing our new branded residences to a discerning audience seeking both luxury and long-term value.”

The showcase reflects Phuket’s rising profile among GCC investors, driven by visa-free access, direct flight connectivity, and an environment that is both welcoming and Muslim-friendly, featuring halal dining, prayer facilities, and a strong local Muslim community.

Showcasing Banyan Group’s Flagship Developments

The Laguna Phuket Property Showcase will highlight the group’s latest developments within Laguna Phuket, Asia’s most iconic 1,000-acre integrated resort, located on Phuket’s west coast and home to 3.5 kilometres of pristine beachfront.

Among the premier offerings are the Banyan Tree Beach Residences — ultra-luxury beachfront condominiums and penthouses with private rooftop pools — alongside new projects under the Angsana, Garrya, and Laguna Lakelands brands.

Ranked No. 1 in Asia and No. 5 globally for branded residences, Banyan Group Residences continues to redefine luxury resort living by combining five-star hospitality with high-yield real estate investment, offering owners access to professional management and rental programmes.

GCC Investors Drive Demand

Phuket’s appeal for GCC nationals continues to grow, offering an ideal year-round climate with temperatures averaging 86–91°F (30–33°C), serene beaches, and a vibrant social atmosphere.

Post-pandemic, sales from GCC buyers have increased by 500%, placing the region among Banyan Group’s top ten global markets for luxury residential investments.

Property values in Phuket have historically appreciated 5–10% annually, and foreign buyers now represent over 60% of condominium sales. Compared to Dubai, Phuket offers exceptional value, $1 million can purchase a 213 sqm luxury home, nearly twice the size of a similar property in the UAE.

A Complete Lifestyle Experience

Developed by Banyan Group over three decades, Laguna Phuket is an integrated community of seven international hotels, more than 3,000 residences, an 18-hole golf course, spas, retail areas, and fine dining venues. The resort is home to residents from over 70 nationalities and continues to expand, with more than 5,000 new homes planned in the coming years, including the eco-friendly Laguna Lakelands development.

“Laguna Phuket has evolved into a thriving international community where families, retirees, and professionals can flourish,” said Stuart Reading. “It delivers a lifestyle defined by quality, security, and sustainability, everything today’s global buyers seek.”

Introducing RAVA Beach Club

A highlight for homeowners within Laguna Phuket is the newly opened RAVA Beach Club, Thailand’s largest beachfront social destination. Stretching along 150 metres of Bang Tao Beach, it features three infinity pools, private cabanas, and sweeping ocean views. Residents receive exclusive access and 25% discounts on dining, adding another layer to the luxury resort experience.
