Bang Tao, on Phuket's glamorous west coast, is home to an eight-kilometre stretch of powder-white beach, the famous Laguna resort complex and some of the island's most exclusive beach clubs.
If you are searching for bang tao villas for rent, you are looking in one of the island's most rewarding markets. On this page you will find our up-to-date selection of villas for rent in Bang Tao, together with everything you need to know about the area, the renting process and what makes Bang Tao special.
Bang Tao has evolved from a quiet fishing area into Phuket's most complete luxury enclave. The Laguna complex anchors the area with its golf course, five-star hotels and lagoon-front residences, while the beachfront strip hosts celebrated venues such as Catch Beach Club, Xana and Dream Beach Club.
The area attracts a cosmopolitan crowd — families drawn by proximity to international schools, investors drawn by the strongest rental demand on the island, and lifestyle buyers who want fine dining, spas and the beach within a few minutes of their front door.
The Bang Tao and Laguna corridor commands some of Phuket's highest prices per square metre outside true beachfront Patong, yet supply of quality homes remains tight. New branded developments sell quickly, and resale villas in gated estates such as Laguna Park or Anchan rarely stay long on the market.
Typical villas for rent in Bang Tao feature:
Our portfolio for bang tao villas for rent changes weekly as new listings arrive and the best villas are taken — if you do not see the right match below, contact us and we will source it.
Living in Bang Tao means having Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket at your doorstep — a walkable district of cafés, wine bars, international restaurants and a Villa Market supermarket. The Friday night market at Boat Avenue is a local institution.
Golfers play Laguna Golf Phuket, families reach UWC Thailand and HeadStart in under 25 minutes, and Phuket International Airport is roughly 30 minutes away — one of the best connectivity profiles of any beach area on the island.
Long-term rentals in Phuket usually run from six to twelve months, with one-year leases the standard for the best homes. Renting through Empire Estates Phuket is free for tenants — our fee is paid by the owner — and follows a simple path:
Rental prices in Phuket typically include garden and pool maintenance for villas; electricity and water are metered separately. We will always clarify exactly what is included before you commit.
Renting before (or instead of) buying is often the smartest way to experience Phuket. A long-term lease lets you test a neighbourhood through both high and green seasons, understand your real running costs, and stay flexible. Bang Tao consistently tops the island for rental occupancy; well-managed pool villas and sea-view condos here typically achieve 6–8% gross yields with excellent high-season rates.
Many of our long-term tenants eventually become buyers — and because we know both markets, we can structure your search so that today's rental shortlist doubles as tomorrow's purchase research.
