Banyan Tree is marketing Asian resort properties through consultancy Knight Frank. They include villas, town houses and apartments in Phuket, Bangkok, Bintan and Lijiang. Investors in the Banyan Tree Residences can choose to receive a 6 per cent fixed return for six years or opt for a share of the revenue. Owners can stay in their residence for up to 60 complimentary days every year. 'Resort properties are now once again in strong demand, as they offer investors long-term rental income with capital growth opportunities and a place for leisure and relaxation,' says Amous Lee of Knight Frank.
