Why Chaweng Noi Is Koh Samui’s Premium Investment Area

Chaweng Noi sits at the southern end of Samui’s most famous beach, offering elevated sea views, a quieter atmosphere than central Chaweng, and direct beach access. The area has become the island’s most desirable address for luxury villa buyers, combining natural beauty with proximity to Samui’s best restaurants, beach clubs, and nightlife.

SKHAI’s Sunrise Suites development captures the essence of Chaweng Noi living — panoramic sea views, contemporary design, and professional rental management through Staylar. The area’s limited hillside plots and strict building regulations ensure exclusivity and long-term value protection.

Chaweng Noi Area Overview

Chaweng Noi’s beach is consistently rated among Thailand’s finest — a sheltered crescent of white sand backed by coconut palms. The area sits 15 minutes from Samui International Airport and 5 minutes from Central Festival Samui. Hillside plots above the beach offer unobstructed views across the Gulf of Thailand, with sunrises that have become iconic on social media.

Chaweng Noi offers the same beach quality and proximity to amenities as Chaweng but with a more exclusive, peaceful atmosphere. Elevated plots provide sea views unavailable in flat Chaweng, and the area’s lower density supports premium rental positioning.
