Sun Hills Layan Phuket

Sun Hills Layan is located in Layan, a premium part of Phuket's west coast where seafront land has almost run out and prices in prime areas have risen by 23–29% since 2023. At the same time, the entry price is one of the most affordable on the whole west coast: apartments start from 3,127,000 baht.

The complex consists of four residential buildings and a separate five-storey hotel building. Facilities include a pool, spa, water park and coworking — the latter noticeably widens the range of potential tenants to include remote workers, for whom a workspace in the complex is a real selection criterion.

The project's key feature for an investor is the hotel licence and the operator, Dusit, an international Thai hotel brand. This is essential. In Thailand, renting out a condominium for less than 30 days without a hotel licence is restricted by law, and owners of ordinary apartments have to rely on long-term rentals. The licence removes this restriction: short-term rental becomes legal, and joining the rental pool programme run by the operator lets you earn income without being involved day to day.

A hotel operator also solves the low-season problem. From May to October it rains in Phuket and tourist numbers fall, and a private owner with a listing on a booking platform fills the calendar noticeably worse than a brand with its own booking channels and corporate clients.

Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027. With the 30/70 payment scheme, the first payment is about 28,400 US dollars, and the rest is paid in interest-free instalments until key handover. We review the terms of the yield programme and the owner's use of the unit separately, according to the contract, before you pay a deposit.
