Laguna Beachside Residences Building 2 by Banyan Living

Laguna Beachside Residences Building 2 by Banyan Living is an aparthotel in Bang Tao, Phuket, with apartments 250 m from Bang Tao Beach. Three configurations range from a 59 m² one-bedroom apartment for two to a 131 m² ground-floor three-bedroom apartment for five; a 60 m² one-bedroom option also accommodates two. Each has a kitchenette, private bathroom, air conditioning and balcony, while the largest adds a terrace and three bathrooms.

The apartments have cooking equipment, a dining area, a washing machine and seating space, along with flat-screen TVs. A rooftop pool features in the apartment descriptions, and the property also has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, terrace and fitness centre. Free WiFi is available throughout, and free public parking is on site. The property has 24-hour security. Construction around the residences runs Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 17:00, when noise may be heard.

The accommodation consists of three apartments rather than a standard hotel-room range. The 131 m² ground-floor option has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and capacity for five; the other two are one-bedroom apartments measuring 59 m² and 60 m², each for two people. The largest has a terrace, while both one-bedroom layouts include a balcony. All three have a kitchenette, private bathroom, air conditioning, washing machine and flat-screen TV.

The one-bedroom units share a similar core arrangement, but the 60 m² option has a separate living room, while the 59 m² apartment has a seating area. The larger apartment suits families or small groups, with two large king-size beds and a single bed across its bedrooms. Each one-bedroom apartment has an extra-large double bed. Kitchen equipment includes a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware, with a dining table for meals indoors. A rooftop pool is a feature of the apartment range.

Shared outdoor facilities include a garden, terrace and outdoor swimming pool. You can also use the fitness centre and tennis court, while a golf course is within 3 km. Board games and puzzles are available, and 24-hour security and a safety deposit box add to the practical facilities.

The apartments are equipped for preparing meals, with kitchenettes, stovetops, kitchenware, electric kettles, toasters, refrigerators and microwaves. Dining tables and a dining area provide space for meals indoors; washing machines, wardrobes, towels, linen and private bathrooms are also provided. Each apartment has air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. WiFi is free throughout the property. Free public parking is available on site without a reservation.

Bang Tao is a west-coast beach district on Phuket, and the residences are 250 m from Bang Tao Beach. Pineapple Beach is 2 km away, Pansea Beach 2.4 km and Surin Beach 2.6 km. Bang Tao Night Market is 1.1 km from the apartments, with Friday Night Market 1.2 km away; Porto de Phuket, a shopping and dining complex, is 1.3 km away. The beachfront sits alongside the Laguna resort and residential development.

Phuket International Airport is 11.9 km away. The final approach is by road into Bang Tao, where taxis and other car transfers serve the west-coast resort areas. Free public parking is available on site and does not require a reservation. The property asks you to share your expected arrival time in advance, so send those details before travelling; check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:00. The residences are away from Phuket Town, so plan visits to the provincial capital as separate outings rather than assuming the beachfront and old-town sights are walkable from one another.
