NovAmal Group / Gardens of Eden
Amal Group does not yet have the decades-long public delivery record of Thailand's large listed developers. Its visible Phuket track record is concentrated around Gardens of Eden, a large master-planned residential and hospitality enclave at Bang Tao, together with Etro Residences Phuket within that estate. The project's official legal notice identifies Amal Development Company Limited, Thai tax ID 0835566019351, at an address in Thalang, Phuket. For a buyer, that makes project-level evidence particularly important: construction progress, permits, land documentation and the exact contracting entity matter more than the scale suggested by the group brand.

Overview
Amal Group does not yet have the decades-long public delivery record of Thailand's large listed developers. Its visible Phuket track record is concentrated around Gardens of Eden, a large master-planned residential and hospitality enclave at Bang Tao, together with Etro Residences Phuket within that estate. The project's official legal notice identifies Amal Development Company Limited, Thai tax ID 0835566019351, at an address in Thalang, Phuket. For a buyer, that makes project-level evidence particularly important: construction progress, permits, land documentation and the exact contracting entity matter more than the scale suggested by the group brand.
Track record
Gardens of Eden was publicly introduced in 2023, with the formal groundbreaking of its first phase held on 10 May 2024. The current project materials divide the master plan into Eden Residences, Park Residences and Lake Residences, all within one Bang Tao estate described by the developer as spanning more than 30 acres. By August 2026, the official project blog was still publishing active construction updates, with interior works progressing at Eden Residences and multiple Park Residences buildings advancing through structural stages. A second clear milestone is Etro Residences Phuket: Etro and the dedicated residence website describe it as the fashion house's first residential development in Southeast Asia, comprising only eight homes and developed by Amal Development within Gardens of Eden.
Segments and prices
Amal Development is positioned in Phuket's luxury and ultra-luxury market, but the publicly accessible official pages reviewed do not provide a single current August 2026 price list across the estate. Gardens of Eden is marketed as a large resort-style residential community near Bang Tao with extensive shared facilities and lower-density planning, while Etro Residences Phuket is a much more limited branded collection of eight residences measuring roughly 220 to 420 sq m. A group-wide average price would therefore be misleading. Buyers should compare the current unit price, price per square metre, payment schedule, furniture package, transfer costs and recurring ownership expenses for the exact residence.
Geography
The verified footprint in the sources reviewed is concentrated in northwest Phuket around Bang Tao and Layan in Thalang district. The Gardens of Eden website places the first phase about 50 metres from Bang Tao Beach, with later phases set farther inside the master-planned estate. Published descriptions of the total site size vary slightly: the main project site says more than 30 acres, the Etro Residences website says 33 acres, while 2023–2024 coverage described 73 rai and 122,000 sq m. That discrepancy is not by itself evidence of a problem, but buyers should rely on the land title and approved master plan for the legal site area rather than marketing conversions.
Reliability and public record
There are several verifiable external markers, but none replaces transaction due diligence. Gardens of Eden won Best Nature Integrated Development and Best Condo Architectural Design (Phuket) at the 2024 PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. Etro publicly confirms its participation in Etro Residences Phuket and identifies Amal Development as the developer. The Gardens of Eden website also states that the displayed phases have land ownership, environmental approval and construction permits, and it was publishing fresh construction progress in August 2026. However, Amal Development is not a SET-listed developer with the same level of recurring public financial disclosure as Thailand's large public companies, and the sources reviewed do not provide comparable visibility into group debt, cash flow or audited annual performance. Launch coverage reported backing from Dubai-based DPD Invest and investment of about THB 11 billion; buyers should treat that as a reported funding structure until it is supported by the relevant corporate and project documents.
What to verify
With Amal Group, buyers should keep the brand, the master plan and the legal transaction separate. The sale agreement should identify the exact seller entity, its rights over the relevant land and phase, and the buyer should obtain the underlying documents supporting the website's statements on land ownership, environmental approval and construction permits. For an off-plan purchase, check the contractual handover date, how instalments relate to construction milestones, remedies for delay and refund provisions. Because Gardens of Eden relies on shared infrastructure across several phases, clarify which facilities are legally committed to your phase, who funds and maintains them, and what happens if later parts of the master plan are delayed. For Etro Residences, also review the contractual basis for use of the Etro brand, fit-out and service standards, the term of the branding arrangement and the consequences if that relationship ends. A foreign condominium buyer should separately confirm the available foreign freehold quota at transfer and the exact ownership route for the selected unit.

Frequently asked questions
Are Amal Group and Amal Development the same developer?
Marketing uses the Amal Group of Companies name, while the Gardens of Eden legal notice identifies Amal Development Company Limited, tax ID 0835566019351. For a transaction, the relevant party is the exact legal entity named as seller in the contract and project documentation, not the group label alone.
Is Gardens of Eden under construction?
Yes. Official materials place the first-phase groundbreaking in May 2024, and the project was still publishing construction updates for Eden Residences and Park Residences in August 2026. An off-plan buyer should nevertheless rely on permits, the contractual completion date and the actual progress of the specific building rather than construction photographs alone.
What is Etro Residences Phuket?
It is a branded residential collection within Gardens of Eden that Etro describes as its first residential development in Southeast Asia. The project comprises only eight residences, with the project website indicating sizes of roughly 220 to 420 sq m. For a buyer, the brand matters only to the extent that design, service and branding standards are contractually defined.
Are Gardens of Eden's permits confirmed?
The official website states that the displayed phases have land ownership, approved environmental assessment and construction permits. That is useful source information, but a buyer should request the actual current documents, including their numbers, dates and connection to the specific phase and land parcel.
What do the PropertyGuru awards mean for a buyer?
In 2024, Gardens of Eden won Best Nature Integrated Development and Best Condo Architectural Design (Phuket). That is independent industry recognition of the project's concept and design, but it does not verify the developer's financial strength, title to a particular unit, handover timing or contractual performance.
