Pristine, picturesque, fascinating, and cosmopolitan, dotted with coconut fringed beaches and lush landscapes – words fall short when it comes to describing the inexplicably beautiful Koh Samui, Thailand’s second-biggest island.
The unique, secluded island is cocooned by oceans, and embodies all aspects of a developed destination while keeping the traditional feel of a tropical island intact. The best part is that the island has maintained its quaint charm and not become another Thai high-rise city.
The breath-taking Samui has metamorphosed into a leading up-market holiday destination and has longer high season periods than most other Thai islands. Today, it showcases some of the best 5-star properties, hotels, and resorts; world-class restaurants and Spas; and two championship golf courses. Immaculate beaches and recreational activities like game fishing, water sports, and more, make this one of the most sought-after beaches havens.
Another feature in Koh Samui’s transformation cap is its recently upgraded infrastructure, including international schools and excellently-equipped hospitals. Not surprisingly, Samui has bagged several awards and accolades from travel companies in recent years.
Further, Samui’s impressive international airport has eased global tourist access to this extraordinary beach paradise. With international and budget airline fares starting as low as USD 30 from Bangkok, it is now more convenient than ever to travel to Koh Samui.
It is therefore only wise that investment opportunities on this stunner of an island must be maximized, more so because the new building laws, modern infrastructure, and mature market are collectively responsible for lowering the risk of investment here. Also, having evolved as a popular international destination, prices of properties in Samui are now less prone to eccentric dips.
For those looking at Koh Samui apartments for sale, here are a few options that score high on luxury location, comfort, and practicality. Each of the following three properties offers great value for money, and can easily be referred to as the most exquisite, well-equipped, and luxurious properties on the island.
