Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Lavanya Residence
A freehold resort home on Langkawi’s west coast. Here is the case, and the catch.
Langkawi’s west coast
Jalan Teluk Baru is in Pantai Tengah, next to the Pantai Cenang beach strip.
Low-density resort setting
223 units on 6.3 acres of landscaped gardens, listed with sea and mountain views.
Above the foreign-buyer line
Apartments are listed from about RM1.37 million, above the RM1 million minimum quoted for Langkawi.
What to weigh: holiday-home economics
No rental listings were live when checked, and resort lettings depend on the tourist season, so ask for actual rental records and the management fee before you buy.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale | About RM1,365,300 – RM3,950,000 · RM731–1,222 psf | PropertyGuru, Sep–Oct 2026 |
| Maintenance fee quoted at launch | About RM0.45 – RM0.50 psf a month | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
The listing range includes houses that agents tagged to the project, so treat the top end with care. Recorded transactions and rental listings were not available on the sources checked. Asking figures come from listing portals and are not transacted prices.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 484 to 2,755 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
