With regards to property investment for buyers with an eye for long-term growth or to generate a rental income, Thailand is a perfect choice, as it has no capital gains tax for private investors and low ongoing taxes. Samui’s burgeoning property market is fast becoming a top commodity for shrewd investors as it makes for a relatively inexpensive choice when compared to real estate in neighboring countries and other parts of the world. Koh Samui offers year-round rental opportunities, since the island only has a short rainy season. Further enhancing its investment appeal is Samui's central accessibility, with direct international flights from Kuala Lumpur and the financial powerhouses of Hong Kong and Singapore, with mainland China, Dubai and others soon to follow.

Our 10 YEARS RENTAL PROGRAM is an optional scheme designed for those owners and investors looking to maximize their rental returns while not in residence.

During the 10 years of managed rental pool, we will divide the total room revenue derived from the rental pool on a 60/40 basis – 60% paid to the owner and 40% will be retained by the operator. This commercial structure is an improvement on the 50/50 profit share used in other projects in Thailand as conflicts always arise from the lack of transparency on operation costs and expenses. A top-line revenue split removes this uncertainty and protects our buyers and residents.

From the operator’s share, all operating expenses will be paid. Such expenses will include (but not be limited to) utilities, marketing, salaries, cleaning equipment and all other necessary expenses in order to operate the rental program in an efficient and proper manner. The rental program also includes check in/out services, maintenance, upkeep and cleaning, as well as management, all assured by Santi Pura Villas team.

Investors can expect a significant rental income, with the holiday rental market showing consistent year-on-year growth. We calculate that an actively managed property can produce annual returns of 7-12% net of management fees. Capital appreciation of properties in Koh Samui varied from 15-20% annually, with off plan properties appreciating by as much as 30% between the launch of the project and its completion.
