Studio 30 sqm in a managed residence on the ring road, minutes from Chaweng

Studio condominium for sale in Chaweng, Koh Samui, inside a managed resort residence

The residence stands on the ring road between Chaweng and Bophut, on the stretch that carries the island's daily infrastructure. The large supermarkets are within a few minutes, the airport is a short drive north, and Chaweng beach with its restaurants and shops lies just east. It is the part of Samui where an owner does not need a plan for every errand.

The unit holds 29.58 m2 on the ground floor as a single open room, with a sleeping area, a kitchen line, a bathroom and a private terrace. It is sold fully furnished, down to the appliances and the soft furnishings, so it can be used or let from the day of handover.

What makes the address unusual is that the building is run as a hotel. Reception, housekeeping, maintenance and the rental of the units are handled by the operator, and daily guests are received through that operation rather than by the owner. An owner who lives elsewhere is not left arranging cleaning, keys or bookings from abroad. The terms of the rental programme are available on request.

Residents and guests share two swimming pools, a gym, a sauna, a restaurant and a pool bar, a 24-hour lobby, a co-working room, a tennis court, a jogging track, a kids club, parking and security around the clock.

The first phase is finished and occupied. This unit belongs to the newer phase, still under construction, where studios start at 2,900,000 THB and run to about 3,780,000 depending on floor and layout. In the completed phase studios start at 3,210,000 THB. Sizes across both phases run from 29 to 35 m2, and two-bedroom layouts from 41 to 69 m2 are available as well.

Entry-level units in a managed building of this class do not sit on the market long, and the lower floors of each phase go first.
