Koh Samui is one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations and deservedly so. It boasts scenic beaches, unspoiled jungle and combines these with amenities that cover everything that you need for comfortable living. And then there’s the famed nightlife, along with the island’s very eclectic dining scene. All this makes Koh Samui an idyllic setting in which to spend a vacation or live, either part-time or full-time.
Many investors have been choosing Koh Samui as a location for their villas and holiday homes precisely because the island is so attractive in multiple ways. Properties can be built or bought solely with the intent that they are part of an investment portfolio. It’s possible to rent out properties here full-time and have an income throughout the year.
Other investors simply look for long-term renters to fill their properties, and with Koh Samui being a magnet for diverse businesses, there are many people coming to the island to live and work. All will require quality accommodation.
And with the island always seeking to offer more and better amenities as well as upgrade its infrastructure, it’s likely that property prices will increase in the short and mid-term. And many believe that in the years to come, with south-east Asia expected to be on the rise, that property prices will reflect the popularity of the region.
The property market here on the island is attractive to both Thai, Asian and international investors; Koh Samui draws interest from China and Hong Kong, as well as Europe and Australasia. Its appeal to holidaymakers continues to grow.
The island offers a wide spectrum of properties and these range from villas to condos and apartments. Whether investors are looking to buy within an urban community such as Chaweng, the island’s largest town, or on/close to the beach they are sure to find something that will match their budget and their aims. In addition to all of this, thanks to improvements in road coverage the interior of the island is opening up for the first time ever. Villas and developments are being built in the hillsides that overlook the coast and also in the heartlands of Samui, which is still largely undeveloped.
Investment property Koh Samui can therefore come in many forms but the main consideration is to consider the closeness to amenities such as shops, hospitals and schools, along with restaurants and nightlife – all depending on who investors are aiming for when they consider those who they will be renting to.
