Layan Verde
Upon seeing Layan Verde for the first time, there is a reason why so many are instantly transported to the fictional world of Pandora in the film Avatar. It evokes that same sense of awe and a profound feeling of a place where nature and civilization do not just coexist but intertwine and elevate one another. On Phuket’s western coast, this luxury residential development is a new paradigm for sustainable, community-focused living.
Residents will live in a tangible tropical paradise where modern architecture is in complete harmony with the lush environment, the vibrant, life-giving spirit of the tropics woven into the very fabric of Layan Verde’s design. Residents will also be part of an intimate, multicultural community that values authenticity and wellbeing, and can spend leisure time amid the eight acres of landscaped parks and multi-level pools inspired by Thailand’s hidden caves and waterfalls. This offers both unparalleled seclusion and a deep, symbiotic connection to nature.
“There is everything you need to live and work and enjoy the connectivity, convenience and lifestyle of this location,” says Paul Crosio, Director of Layan Verde. Located in sought-after Bang Tao, the area’s famous white sand beaches are on Layan Verde’s doorstep, while it is only a 20-minute drive to Phuket International Airport and less than ten minutes to experience high-end facilities, from marinas to golf courses and shopping centres.
Overseen by Dewan Architects + Engineers, the architectural vision offers more than 700 contemporary homes – some with private pools and panoramic views of the sea or gardens – ranging from studio apartments to family residences. The architects have ensured that each home is a sanctuary of calm and beauty. The fluid, organic lines of the buildings and their terraced forms are designed not just for aesthetics, but to promote natural ventilation and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
The experience of living at Layan Verde is curated by Dusit International, which guarantees a service that matches the hospitality standards of five-star boutique hotels. Personal concierges anticipate every need, and there are world-class amenities such as restaurants, bars and cafés, alongside two hotels, fitness centres, padel courts, a private Ocean Club and co-working spaces – all of which enable residents to transition effortlessly from productivity to complete relaxation.
The true value of Layan Verde, however, lies in its hidden intelligence. Designed for the future, the complex is embedded with cutting-edge technology that significantly reduces an individual’s carbon footprint and cost of living. For the ultimate in energy efficiency, Layan Verde is powered by renewable solar energy and features advanced water recirculation systems, which are estimated to help residents save up to 40 per cent on utility bills – a tangible economic benefit alongside an ecological one. This sincere commitment has earned the project the prestigious EDGE Advanced certification for its minimal environmental impact. “What we are creating is truly iconic,” says Paul. “We are not just paying lip service to being sustainable, we are really doing it.”
Set to be completed in 2028, Layan Verde is a long-term investment in a luxury lifestyle that is beneficial for people and the planet. It is a unique place for those who are seeking not just an exceptional home in Phuket, but a perpetual legacy in South East Asia. And it is also where the dream of perfect harmony between humanity and nature can play out.
