Laguna Beachside Residence Phuket
Laguna Beachside: a new story on Bangtao’s first coastline 🏝️🌅
Imagine an early morning on Bangtao: the sea is still softly whispering at the water’s edge, a long line of palm trees stretches along the lagoon, and the first rays of sun gently illuminate the fresh façades of a new complex. In October 2025 Laguna Beachside Residence appeared here — a modern condominium on the first beach line in the very heart of the Laguna Phuket project, yet slightly tucked away from the main hotels.
It feels like a tropical “front row”: you live by the sea, yet you are surrounded by the infrastructure of the island’s largest integrated resort. A new home, new interiors, new views — and the feeling that you’ve caught Phuket at the beginning of its next chapter.

Walking routes, what to do nearby and “local” tips 🚶♂️🌴
Life in Laguna Beachside is not only about walls and square meters; it’s about daily rituals: morning runs, barefoot sunsets, coffee on the balcony and quiet evening walks around the lagoon.
Walking routes and strolls
- Morning walk along Bangtao
Step out of the complex, walk a couple of minutes to the sand and head along the sea — towards Layan or towards the beach clubs. It’s 2–4 km one way: an ideal route for jogging, Nordic walking or meditative strolls. - Loop around the lagoon
Inside Laguna Phuket there are paths along canals and artificial lagoons. You can create a 3–5 km loop, combining views of water, golf fairways and tropical greenery. - Walk to Boat Avenue
From the complex, walk or cycle to Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket — through a manicured resort area with lakes, promenades and hotel gardens. A convenient option for dinner or shopping without using a car.
What to do in the area
- Sea and active leisure
Swimming and beach walks, stand‑up paddle boarding (SUP), yoga right on the sand, exploring the shoreline at low tide. - Gastronomy
Hotel restaurants in Laguna, cafés and bars at Boat Avenue, beach clubs with proper food and cocktails — from simple Thai dishes to refined international cuisine. - A day with kids
Family trip to Blue Tree: waterpark, lagoons, trampolines, kids’ zones, then dinner in one of the on‑site restaurants. - Massage and spa
Numerous spas around Laguna — from affordable massage parlors to premium spa centers at Banyan Tree and other hotels.
Local tips
- Plan longer walks early in the morning or after 4 pm, when the sun is milder.
- For sunsets, choose the stretch of beach closer to the beach clubs — more atmosphere, music and lights.
- On weekends, drop by the markets at Boat Avenue — live music, street food, local crafts.
- For quiet and seclusion, walk towards Layan Beach — it’s calmer and less crowded there.
- Children’s and sports infrastructure: schools, kindergartens, sports 👨👩👧👦⚽
