For those lucky enough to have a long vacation on Koh Samui but also for those wanting to work, renting a villa is an unbeatable option. It also makes sense for those who want to buy a villa to test out what it’s like to live on the island before making any final purchase.
Increasingly many visitors are interested in villas for rent Koh Samui long term. There are many advantages to this kind of lifestyle. Chief amongst them is that a villa will always work out cheaper than staying in a hotel that offers the same level of facilities – the rental price will always be a lot less, even when the hotel offers you a very substantial discount because you’re staying long term.
It used to be a slightly daunting process looking for a villa to rent and involved a lot of driving around, and no matter how many months it took, there were always choices that you had somehow missed. In those days, rental advertising was mostly done by putting out a ‘for rent’ sign outside the property.
Fast forward a couple of decades and everything is simpler, speedier and a lot more convenient. No need to explore mazes of tiny roads and tracks in order to find a dream home. Here at Siam Commercial Services, we run a one-stop property office, and one of our main priorities is rental properties. We have a large array on our books, with more appearing every month. Many homeowners are happy to rent out their villas for long periods of time, and prefer this to a constant turnover of short-term guests who may simply be wanting to find a villa for a week or two. A long-term rental is more attractive – and the rent will be cheaper the longer the property is taken.
With Siam Commercial Services as your partner, looking for villas for rent Koh Samui long term becomes a seamless process. We start by finding out what kind of villa you would ideally like and matching this with what we have in our listings. Villas here on the island come in a great variety and even if you are looking for a home that is entirely unusual, we are quite likely to find it, or something very similar. Many of the island’s villas can be seen from the roads and may look similar at first glance, but as realtors we know that there are many to be found that are far from stereotypical.
Siam Commercial Services has villas in every size, from small one-bedroom villas, ideal for a couple or a single person, all the way up to multi-bedroomed hideaways that are suitable for large families or groups of friends.
The villas are located in every region of the island and in order to see which area will suit you best, we will need to take certain factors into consideration. If, for example, you would like privacy, then we would recommend the south of the island, or the interior. These are the less developed and settled parts of Koh Samui. They are ideal if you are retired or on holiday.
However, if you are working, you may well need to be in the north of the island. This is where all the businesses, resorts and amenities are to be found.
For those who would like to be right at the heart of the action, you will probably find yourself opting for Chaweng and its environs. This is the island’s largest town and the focal point for many activities. Boasting Samui’s favorite beach as well most of the nightlife, it offers plenty of entertainment of every kind. Lamai is also popular for the same reasons, and many perceive it as a smaller version of Chaweng.
Foodies meanwhile may want to be close to Bophut’s Fisherman’s Village, which offers a world-class dining scene with dozens of restaurants thronging its beach road. Further to the west, communities such as Maenam and Ban Tai offer a quieter and more relaxed way of life.
As for the villas themselves, most have been recently built as Koh Samui is a relatively new property market. Few villas date back much more than two decades; most have been built a lot more recently. They remain in excellent condition and those that are for rent tend to have been carefully looked after by their owners.
Many villas come with swimming pools and decking, making for convivial times outdoors. Larger villas may have home theaters, a fitness room or even a mini-spa. No matter what kind of villa you choose, it will have a relaxed and laid-back feel, in keeping with the world-class holiday destination that Koh Samui has become. We invite you to contact us at Siam Commercial Services and let us know your needs. We will be able to help you in your search for villas for rent Koh Samui long term.
