Invest in Koh Samui | Island Villa Investment Guide

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.

Koh Samui Investment Highlights

Samui’s luxury market has benefited from improved air connectivity, including direct flights from Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Villa prices remain 30–40% below equivalent Phuket properties, offering stronger yield potential for early investors. The island’s growing reputation for wellness tourism and boutique hospitality supports year-round rental demand.
