Overview
Laguna Beach Resort 1 is a standout resort-style development in Jomtien, completed in 2015. The project consists of three 8-story buildings arranged around a massive 1,300 sqm central lagoon. It was one of the first projects in the area to bring the "tropical holiday" concept to a residential condominium, successfully blending affordable housing with high-end leisure facilities.
The building's crown jewel is its central water park, which includes an artificial sand beach, a wave generator, and "jacuzzi caves." This makes it an incredibly popular choice for short-term holidaymakers and families. The units are modern and typically sold fully furnished, following a standardized design that maximizes every square meter of space.
Developer
Developed by Heights Holdings, a prominent Pattaya-based developer with a massive portfolio of low-rise and high-rise projects. They are best known for the "Laguna" brand (Resort 1, 2, and 3), as well as Arcadia and Club Royal. Heights Holdings is recognized for delivering projects with ambitious amenities—specifically expansive water parks and themed common areas—at highly competitive price points.

Pros
- World-Class Amenities - The pool and artificial beach are far superior to most buildings in this price range.
- Resort Vibe - Living here feels like being on a permanent vacation, which is excellent for short-term rental demand.
- Strong Rental Potential - High popularity on Airbnb and Booking.com due to the "water park" features.
- Underground Parking - Keeps cars out of the sun and maintains the tropical aesthetic of the grounds.
Cons
- Density & Noise - Because it is popular with holidaymakers and families, the pool area can be very loud during peak season.
- Distance to Transit - It's about a 400m walk to the main Baht Bus route, which can feel long in the midday heat.
- High Turnover - The building can feel more like a hotel than a quiet residence, which might not suit long-term expats.
Best For
- Families with Children who will make daily use of the water park and slides.
- Investors looking for a property with high occupancy for short-term holiday rentals.
- Short-term Vacationers who want resort facilities without hotel prices.
The Bottom Line
Laguna Beach Resort 1 is "The Tropical Holiday Hub." It offers arguably the best pool facilities in Jomtien for the price. While it lacks the quiet serenity sought by some long-term retirees, it is the perfect fit for families and investors who want a property that stays "in demand" throughout the year thanks to its unique artificial beach concept.
