Banyan Group Residences has unveiled Banyan Tree Beach Residences Varuna — an exclusive collection of just eight beachfront townhomes located directly on Bang Tao Beach within the renowned Laguna Phuket integrated resort.
Banyan Tree Beach Residences Varuna's four-level, four-bedroom residences embody a 'Coastal Biophilia' design philosophy that is defined by curved architectural lines, slatted timber cladding, and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames sweeping views of the Andaman Sea, with private rooftop infinity pools and terraces oriented to capture the sunset. Each unit includes a private lift, a ground-floor garden terrace, and a master suite occupying its own floor with a walk-in closet, reading room, and private courtyard.
Owners gain access to Laguna Phuket's extensive amenities, including an 18-hole golf course, multiple spas, diverse dining options, and the RAVA Beach Club, as well as membership in The Sanctuary Club, which provides discounts across Banyan Group properties worldwide.
