Banyan Group is excited to announce the launch of the new eco-friendly Laguna Lakeside Residences, located in the renowned Laguna Phuket integrated resort community at Bang Tao Beach on Phuket’s sought-after Central West Coast. These new low-rise residences present a rare opportunity to join this iconic 1000-acre resort community.
Positioned next to the first block of Laguna Lakeside Residences, which sold out and was completed in June, these new homes are ideally located at the entrance of Laguna Phuket. They overlook a serene lagoon and are within walking distance of the vibrant Boat Avenue entertainment district.
Set amidst lush landscaped gardens, the one, two, and three-bedroom residences feature stunning rooftop infinity pools. These homes offer a sleek contemporary design, providing an affordable yet luxurious way to enjoy the exclusive Laguna Phuket lifestyle while staying connected to nature.
“Laguna Lakeside Residences are crafted with the same precision and attention to detail as other Banyan Group properties,” said Banyan Group founder Mr. Ho Kwon Ping. “It’s akin to purchasing a luxury car from a brand like BMW or Mercedes; even the smaller models uphold the same high standards of quality and craftsmanship.”
Designed for those who desire a close connection to nature without sacrificing modern amenities, Laguna Lakeside Residences offer a tranquil environment with manicured gardens and a multi-purpose lawn with a boardwalk shaded by tall trees.
The launch coincides with a booming real estate market in Phuket, driven by a growing demand for second homes or relocation options from families worldwide. “There’s a significant demand for new homes in Phuket, influenced by trends such as urban flight, geopolitical issues, and the island’s appeal with its world-class schools and hospitals,” explained Banyan Group founder and Executive Chairman KP Ho.
He also highlighted that high-quality properties in Phuket remain more affordable compared to markets like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Europe. Phuket’s strategic location, within a six-hour flight of over 40% of the world’s population, its favorable climate, and the presence of international schools and hospitals contribute to its attractiveness.
The new Laguna Lakeside Residences include one to three-bedroom condominiums spread across four low-rise blocks, each featuring an expansive rooftop infinity pool. Prices start from THB 9 million, with the developer offering financing options with staged payments over several years, a unique offering in Thailand.
Laguna Lakeside Residences are part of Asia’s most iconic integrated resort, Laguna Phuket, which includes award-winning spas and Laguna Golf Phuket, named “Thailand’s Best Golf Course” by the World Golf Awards. Located just 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport, the residences offer a complete lifestyle with world-class dining, spas, golf, education programs, and social events.
Residents will also gain access to exclusive privileges, discounts, and rewards through The Sanctuary Club, Banyan Group’s signature property owners’ program, which connects them to a global network of exceptional properties.
Phuket is celebrated for its tropical lifestyle, comfortable climate, affordable living, top-tier private healthcare, international schools, shopping malls, and the welcoming Thai hospitality in the ‘Land of Smiles.’
Laguna Resorts & Hotels, listed on the stock exchanges of Thailand and Singapore, is allied with Banyan Tree Holdings, enhancing the credibility and allure of this new development.

Situ has officially unveiled its new global headquarters in Exeter, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
Founded in 2008, Situ has steadily expanded its footprint as a worldwide provider of serviced accommodation solutions. The company originally relocated to its current Exeter site in 2018, but continued growth soon outpaced the building’s capacity. Seizing the opportunity to expand within the same footprint, Situ undertook an ambitious redevelopment project, resulting in a transformed, purpose-built two-storey headquarters that now offers more than double the original space.
The newly unveiled office follows an extensive eighteen-month development programme and has been thoughtfully designed to support modern ways of working. The layout balances collaboration and focus, with open-plan workspaces complemented by smaller seating areas for informal discussions and individual productivity.
A key highlight of the headquarters is its central atrium, a dynamic, tiered space equipped with a large screen and balcony. This multifunctional hub is designed to host company-wide meetings, facilitate hybrid collaboration with global teams, and serve as a venue for community and industry events.
The workspace also incorporates extensive greenery, enhancing air quality while creating a calming and visually engaging environment. The design reflects Situ’s emphasis on employee wellbeing, creativity, and connection.
Sharing his thoughts, Phil Stapleton said, “As our global footprint continues to grow, this space gives our entire team the environment they deserve to collaborate, create, and support our clients around the world. I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved and excited to see what comes next.”
Beyond internal use, the new headquarters has been designed as a welcoming hub for clients, partners, and industry stakeholders. Situ plans to host learning sessions, industry discussions, and community-led events at the facility, further strengthening its position within the serviced accommodation sector.
With a presence spanning over 144 countries, Situ continues to combine advanced technology with a human-centric hospitality approach, delivering tailored extended-stay solutions to organisations worldwide. The launch of its new global headquarters reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, collaboration, and sustained global growth.
ROOH San Francisco is set to present a specially curated menu for Restaurant Week 2026, offering guests a unique dining experience that brings together Indian flavours with a modern global touch. The menu has been designed by Executive Chef Ashish Tiwari, known for his approach of blending traditional recipes with contemporary techniques.
Created as a multi-course experience, the menu takes guests through a range of textures and flavours, starting with a refined amuse bouche and ending with a modern Indian dessert. Each course has been thoughtfully put together to reflect both creativity and a strong connection to regional influences.
The meal begins with the Avocado Treat, featuring a crisp phyllo shell filled with avocado chaat, along with tamarind chutney, yogurt, and fresh herbs. For starters, guests can choose between the Beirut Mezze Chaat, which brings together Middle Eastern and Indian street food elements, or the Pondicherry Shrimp Malai, a coastal-inspired dish with shrimp in a coconut-based curry.
For the main course, the menu offers dishes like Broccoli & Cauliflower Rezala, prepared in a light cashew-yogurt gravy, and Methi Malai Chicken, where chicken is cooked in a rich fenugreek cream sauce. These dishes are served with accompaniments such as Rooh daal, saffron rice, garlic naan, and plain naan, completing the experience with familiar flavours.
To end the meal, guests can enjoy the Blueberry Rasmalai Cake, a modern take on a classic dessert that combines cardamom sponge, saffron-infused cream, and a blueberry finish.
Sharing his thoughts on the menu, Chef Tiwari said, "This menu is a celebration of global influences interpreted through an Indian lens. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a memorable dining experience that resonates with both tradition and innovation."
