Even with a world economic slowdown, luxury properties on Samui continue to attract investors from a realm of countries. Domestic and international developers have refused to shy away from building opulent, well-appointed villas that appeal to cash rich investors with high expectatiions. The choice of luxury residential accommodation on Koh Samui has grown significantly in the last few years, making the island one of the most attractive choices in SE Asia for high end property. In addition, sophisticated services and amenities add to the appeal for clients in search of a the ultimate luxury hideaway.
Prices for luxury properties on Koh Samui are certainly not cheap, but they compare favourably with similar properties in the West. As a result, sales have seen robust growth and this has stimulated more construction at the high end of the market. The most exclusive properties on the island tend to be located in more remote areas, away from the tourist crowds. The northern and southern bays are therefore particularly popular as they are characterized by quieter beaches and unspoilt natural surroundings.
Prices for luxury residences begin at around 40 million Baht, rising to more than 100 Million Baht on the latest, branded luxury developments. As well as the location, design, size and on-site facilities obviously play a large role with traditional influences increasingly blending with contemporary, minimalist styles and many luxury properties designed around an infinity pool with a number of stand-alone villas housing separate living and dining spaces, as well as individual bedroom suites.
Thailand's famous hospitality and natural beauty, as well as convenient transport services to and from other major Asian destinations mean that high end properties are a popular second home choice both for wealthy Asian buyers and regional expatriates. Luxury properties occupy many of the island's most stunning locations and boast quality facilities and spectacular views. Koh Samui has developed into one of the most popular residential markets in the region, with agents and developers targeting top end clients with comprehensive marketing campaigns and exclusive services. The sheer range of nationalities investing in the island is a good indication of future growth in this sector. More recent high-end buyers have come from countries as divers as Russia, Canada, Switzerland and the Middle East, which suggests the demand for luxury properties is set to grow and diversify in years to come.
