Prices are negotiable — 12-month leases generally offer 15–20% lower rates than shorter contracts.
The best area depends on your lifestyle.
Our agents know every neighbourhood and can match you to the right location for your budget and lifestyle.
Yes, absolutely. Foreigners of all nationalities can rent long-term in Koh Samui without restrictions. You will need a valid passport to sign a lease. A tourist visa is generally accepted for shorter leases; a Non-Immigrant visa or Thailand Elite visa is preferred for contracts of 1 year or more. Our agents assist with all paperwork and can advise on visa options best suited to your situation.
Most landlords require a minimum lease of 6 months, though 1-year contracts are the standard and often come with better rates. Some properties accept 3-month minimum stays, particularly during low season (May–October). Short-term rentals under 3 months exist but are priced significantly higher per month. If you need flexibility, ask our agents — some owners are more negotiable than others, especially for quality tenants.
Most landlords require a security deposit of 1 to 2 months’ rent, plus the first month’s rent upfront at move-in. For a ฿50,000/month villa, expect to pay ฿100,000–฿150,000 at the start of your lease. The deposit is refundable at the end of the lease provided there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear. Always document the property’s condition on arrival and get a signed receipt for your deposit.
In most cases, utilities (electricity, water, internet) are charged separately based on usage.
Some fully-furnished apartments include Wi-Fi and water in the monthly rate. Always clarify exactly what is included before signing your lease agreement.
Koh Samui offers a wide range of long-term rental options to suit every lifestyle and budget: private pool villas (the most popular choice), beachfront houses, hillside residences with sea views, modern apartments, studio flats, and townhouses.
Most properties come fully furnished.
Our portfolio of 190+ listings covers all budgets — from compact studios at ฿10,000/month to luxury 5-bedroom villas with private pools at ฿200,000/month and above.
Koh Samui is increasingly popular with digital nomads and remote workers.
Fibre internet (100–1,000 Mbps) is widely available across the island, co-working spaces are opening in Bophut and Chaweng, and the GMT+7 timezone works well for teams in Europe and Asia.
A private pool villa with fast Wi-Fi costs a fraction of comparable accommodation in Bali, Chiang Mai, or Lisbon — making Koh Samui an exceptional base for location-independent professionals.
Pet policies vary by property. A growing number of our listings are pet-friendly, particularly standalone villas with gardens.
Some landlords accept small dogs or cats with an additional deposit.
Apartment complexes and managed residences tend to be more restrictive.
