Micah Tamthai, vice president of real estate at Minor International, said, “good infrastructure, beautiful weather, and a vibrant culture place Thailand among the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia for second homes, and for those who are looking to invest, Phuket hosts some of the Kingdom’s most attractive residential profiles.”  

“Our recent sales achievement is also a testament of the increasing preference, especially among a growing population of high-end customers, towards resort-branded residences that offer an exceptional luxury product and a seamless, hassle-free home-ownership experience,” he added.  

Layan Residences by Anantara, a 20-minute drive from Phuket’s international airport, hosts a boutique collection of 15 private pool villas ranging from 1,695 to 3,195 square metres in a built-up area. Each villa features unique panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and has been exclusively designed in contemporary Thai style.
