An easy option exists for those who want all the benefits of living on Koh Samui without having to either live for a continued period of time in a hotel or to purchase a property. And it’s an option that an increasing number of expatriates are taking: renting a villa.
Villas have many advantages over hotels and resorts. Villa guests will be looked after just as much as they would be in a hotel – if not better. Everyone can stay together in rooms close to each other and, of course, there won’t be other hotel guests to worry about. Your poolside sun loungers won’t be draped in other people’s towels – ever. The advantages are easy to see. Service is far more personal too with staff getting to know their guests as there are far fewer of them than there would be in any resort.
But what about if you decide to have a protracted rental? In this case, things will look just as good. There are the same freedoms as before, but this time, because you are staying a lot longer, your rental space will be your home. You can settle in and get comfortable knowing you won’t have to leave for some time to come.
Perhaps you won’t need so many support services. But that’s completely up to you. You will be welcome to ask for whatever services you need. All well and good if you simply need a space to call your own, but you may want to avail yourself of other possibilities. For example, villas for rent Koh Samui long term will naturally cater for all your needs and requirements even if you’re not there on a short holiday. Do you need someone to cook for you? It’s a cinch to arrange and you can feast on the offerings that a professional chef will make for you at times that you stipulate. The chef may come with helpers if you have many guests staying at the same time. And naturally each chef is versed in both Thai and international dishes.
Many guests will want to hire a car as part of a villas for rent Koh Samui long term deal and this will be very easy to arrange. Some, however, will want to take things further and have their own chauffeur to take them around the island or even further afield.
Guests who stay with children may need on-going professional help and can easily hire a nanny or childminder through the villa’s services. No matter if you have very young children or teenagers, help is always at hand, and for the precise conditions that you stipulate, and for as long as you want.
Sport and fitness need not be neglected if you are visiting Koh Samui. Villas will always be able to recommend a yoga teacher or fitness instructor. They can come to your villa and give you tailor-made instruction. There are also other sporting coaches on the island, including trainers for tennis, golf and football, and of course swimming instructors.
There are many gyms on Koh Samui but if you are very dedicated, you may wish to rent a villa that comes with a built-in gym or fitness center. There are many more of these than you might think – the island is a magnet for health.
Villas for rent Koh Samui long term may also include other lifestyle amenities. Some villas are equipped with home cinemas, for example. These are not simply big-screen TVs but a mini cineplex – a dedicated room that can instantly be darkened with a professional cinema screen allowing you to watch whatever movie appeals to you – and whenever.
Living like this is to live in luxury and enjoy a rental situation that you have deliberately curated. It will allow you to focus on what you love doing. But the good points don’t stop here.
Almost all villas come with spectacular swimming pools, often with infinity edges. What better than to gaze out from your pool and enjoy spectacular views? The pool is an outdoor focal point that everyone will enjoy. Very often it will be located opposite the main living room. Slide back the glass windows, and you have immediate access to the pool. A great way to spend a day is to alternate between the indoor and outdoor worlds.
There are many firms on Koh Samui that manage villas and you will find that Siam Commercial Services offer a very full range of possibilities.
