Homes Koh Samui

Over the past decade, Koh Samui has seen a rapid expansion in the emerging property market. More and more people have decided to call Samui home, as the wonderful location, climate and facilities have found broad appeal, and the concentration of ex-pats make it easier to become a part or full-time resident of the island. The island is well connected to the capital, served by regular daily flights, and also has direct flights to Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Phuket.

There are a number of high-quality international schools and world-class hospitals providing for the requirements of foreign residents. There are beautiful beaches jungle-clad hills and almost year-round sunshine. On top of all this there is a burgeoning ex-pat community with many social opportunities, and great dining and nightlife options. So, it is not too difficult to understand the logistical and practical reasons people would choose Samui and, because of the increased demand, the supply of properties of all types has also improved.

Therefore, the choice of homes on the island is broader than ever before. Many people opt to rent villas or homes, while some choose to build, or buy into developments. Whatever the preference, there is something for everyone, with mid-range two-bedroom homes available for a fraction of European prices, and even at the luxury end, prices compare favourably to other parts of the world.
