Koh Samui Property for Sale
Ever since Koh Samui’s discovery hundreds of years ago, it has been sought after as a tropical oasis. Originally functioning as safe enclave during a storm for fisherman and sea traders, Koh Samui has since blossomed into one of Thailand’s hot spots for tourism and property investments.
Amongst the lush fruit farms and coconut palms, Koh Samui first became a foreigner’s paradise in the early 1970’s when backpackers sought out deserted beaches, local food and a sense of tropical escape. Many never left the island, choosing instead to adopt a laid back alternative lifestyle. Over time, Koh Samui attracted an increasingly diverse array of foreigners from across the globe. Tourism grew and infrastructure improved with a ferry service from the mainland at Suratthani. The necessary investment then came that led to the building of the Koh Samui airport. This meant Samui could truly attract property investors as a realistic location to buy property and live in either permanently or for part of the year.
In the past ten years, Koh Samui has put itself on the map as a five-star boutique vacation destination. With both Thai and international investors building resorts, hotels, villas, and condominiums in multiple locations. This has turned a once, sleepy fisherman’s island into a jet setter’s top choice for holidays and relocation.
Whether you have the funds to purchase a three-bedroom luxury villa with a private pool, or simply to rent one for a weekend, Koh Samui now has options for every taste and budget. If owning a piece of property on this beautiful island is your goal, you can buy a furnished luxury condo with two-bedroom/two bathrooms for as little as €50,000. Or if you prefer to try out different types of accommodation or simply stay on holiday, renting is also a great choice. Larger groups for a short period of time can rent a luxury sea view villa with five bedrooms and six bathrooms for just €750 euro a night. Such deals attract plenty of clients, ensuring revenue for their owners.
Not only does Koh Samui offer properties in every price range, but also has an array of design options depending on individual tastes and needs. For instance, if you are looking for a family home, you can by a villa on a development that has private, spacious walled garden so the little ones can play safely. For couples, Koh Samui can be the ideal romantic escape. A modest pool villa in a serviced development often comes with indulgent extras such as a private chef at your disposal, couples massages and private jacuzzis for the ultimate 'you' time.
