Anchan Group Phuket: Projects, Reviews & Prices 2026

Anchan Group has worked on Phuket since 2007 and specialises in freehold pool villas across Cherng Talay, Layan and Bang Tao. Over 18 years the company has designed and delivered 12 villa communities, each with 12 to 70 villas, bringing the total number of delivered homes to more than 350. Anchan handles the full development cycle: land acquisition, master planning, architecture, construction, sales and post-handover servicing through its in-house Anchan Estate Management division.

Anchan Group was founded by a team of Thai and European developers who chose the north-west of Phuket as the area most sheltered from monsoon weather while still close to the Bang Tao business hub. Every plot sits within a 5-minute drive of Layan and Bang Tao beaches, 10 minutes from Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket, and 25 minutes from Phuket International Airport. The first phase, Anchan Lagoon, opened in 2010 as the first villa community in the district with a private artificial lake and a shared clubhouse. By 2018 the company had moved to a serial model with up to five projects running in parallel, and by 2025 three new master plans are under way in Layan Hills and in the valley between Cherng Talay and Thalang. Anchan Group is registered in Thailand, with its headquarters in Cherng Talay alongside a sales gallery and a full-scale villa show unit.

All 12 communities sit inside the Cherng Talay, Layan and Bang Tao triangle:

• Anchan Lagoon, the 2010 debut project with its own lake;
• Anchan Villas 3, the 2013 evolution, 3 and 4-bedroom villas;
• Anchan Hills, hillside villas with views across the Layan valley;
• Anchan Grand Residence, the premium phase with villas from 600 sqm and plots from 1,100 sqm;
• Anchan Tropicana, the tropical line with open pavilions and large landscaping per plot;
• Anchan Flora, a landscape-driven collection with fruit gardens and shaded galleries;
• Anchan Horizon, villas with panoramic glazing and mountain views;
• Anchan Indigo, a designer line in a dark palette with an interior-led concept;
• Anchan Mountain Breeze, a 2022 project on elevated land near Layan Hills;
• Anchan Burgundy, a boutique format with 14 villas and a shared wine cellar;
• Anchan Sunscape, a series with 16 m pools and large sun terraces;
• Anchan Emerald, the 2024 flagship: 4 and 5-bedroom villas with a media room, wine room and automatic gates.

Anchan works in a Modern Tropical line with Balinese and Japanese references. The standard package for every villa includes a 9 to 16 m pool, optional heating or cooling, Daikin or Mitsubishi air conditioning, a central drinking-water treatment system, imported sanitary ware, a German or Italian kitchen, ceiling heights of 3.2 m on the ground floor and 3 m on the upper level. Structure: a reinforced concrete frame with 200 mm aerated-concrete blockwork, with facades clad in natural stone or finished in moisture-protected plaster. Each community has its own clubhouse with a fitness room, meeting space and a small cafe. Warranties: 5 years on structure, 2 years on mechanical systems, 1 year on finishes. Anchan Estate Management handles security, landscaping, pool servicing and rental; the average management fee is 80 baht per sqm per month.

Deal structure: the plot is held by a Thai company with foreign majority interest, while the house is registered as foreign freehold. 2025 price bands: a 3-bedroom villa in Anchan Tropicana or Flora starts at 620,000 dollars, a 4-bedroom villa in Anchan Horizon or Indigo starts at 880,000 dollars, and the Anchan Emerald flagship begins at 1.4 million dollars. Operating costs: annual house and land taxes of around 0.02 percent of cadastral value, an 80 baht per sqm monthly management fee, and insurance starting at 25,000 baht per year. Rental through Anchan Estate Management produces actual yields of 6 to 8 percent net per year, depending on location and season, while villa occupancy in Cherng Talay and Layan exceeds 80 percent during high season. Secondary-market appreciation for Anchan villas between 2017 and 2024 reached around 40 percent in dollar terms, above the western Phuket average. Around 45 percent of buyers come from Hong Kong and mainland China, 30 percent from Russia and the CIS, with the rest coming from Scandinavia, Germany and the United Kingdom. The average holding period before resale is 8 years for villas and 5 years for buyers who upgrade inside the Anchan portfolio. Anchan also runs a buy-back option: an owner who has held a villa for at least 3 years can return the property to the developer at a fixed valuation, which makes the exit path predictable for foreign investors. The internal resale list inside Anchan Estate Management closes about 30 sales every year, which keeps secondary-market liquidity inside the brand stable.
