Koh Samui Rentals

It’s true to say that Koh Samui is marginally more expensive to live than the mainland, but this is only to be expected when living on an island reliant on shipping all it’s goods over from the mainland, and goods are still cheap. However the advantages are easy to appreciate if you have ever visited. An island life-style, with all the amenities you may expect at home for a fraction of the cost. You can involve yourself in the Thai culture, while still enjoying the comforts of home. Alternatively you can isolate yourself and enjoy the tropical island seclusion, safe in the knowledge you are on an island that has all that you require should you need to pop back to civilisation, including 5 star hotels, international restaurants and progressive companies that can help you in your own language.

Villa rentals are booming on Koh Samui and villas tend to be a popular choice for foreigners due to the tropical setting. Koh Samui boasts lovely beaches and a hilly interior that provides fantastic views and opportunities for secluded developments. The choice of location, style, functionality and luxury are all encouraging to those thinking of staying in a villa on Koh Samui. A typical high end-premium Koh Samui villa has upwards of 300m2 of interior space, two to four bedrooms with en-suites, a private swimming pool, gardens and a sea view or mountain view.

Rental opportunities began to expand soon after tourism took hold on Koh Samui. The island offers an attractive lifestyle change for many people as it combines the advantages of a tropical retreat with most of the amenities and services people in the West have come to rely on. Prices are higher than they are on the mainland, but still affordable when compared to other similar islands in the region. A growing expatriate community means increasing support from various clubs and organisations and the most of the locals speak either English or German and are used to dealing with foreigners. As a tourist island, Samui boasts increasingly modern facilities, with a choice of excellent international restaurants and bars, as well as a multi-cultural atmosphere. The property sector is also supported by professional services, such as English speaking lawyers, and a quality construction companies and building suppliers.
