1-Bed Apartment at Lake Residences, Gardens of Eden, Layan

Lake Residences is the lakeside phase of the Gardens of Eden masterplan between Layan and Bang Tao, and this 52 sqm one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment sits on the second floor of one of its nine low-density buildings, facing the hills.

The phase is arranged around a lake with a resident pool, and parking is underground, keeping the grounds free of cars. The wider development leans heavily on wellness and landscaping: a large wellness centre, jogging and walking trails, two clubhouses, kids' clubs and play areas, an open-air cinema, a pet park, restaurants, a business centre and a small supermarket, with a hotel within the masterplan. The unit has pool and garden access.

Sold off-plan on a long-term leasehold (freehold available at extra cost, furniture packages separate), it suits patient buyers backing the Layan–Bang Tao corridor, with the usual off-plan timing risks.
