Why Invest in Koh Samui Real Estate?
Koh Samui offers a more intimate island investment proposition compared to Phuket, with lower entry prices, a tight-knit expat community, and growing international demand. The island’s limited development land and strict building height regulations have created natural scarcity, supporting consistent property value appreciation across premium locations.
SKHAI is one of Koh Samui’s most active luxury developers, with six projects spanning the island’s best coastlines — from the vibrant beaches of Chaweng Noi to the tranquil bays of Bangrak and Coral Cove. Each development is managed by Staylar, delivering reliable rental income to investors worldwide.
