Villa Estates
Usually found inland, a few kilometres from the beach, these villas offer good value for money. They tend to be walled-in, tucked away from main roads, without any spectacular views. Typically making excellent use of available space, the layout of these villas usually offers a stylish patio area, with a private pool in the centre of the courtyard.
Depending on the developer, the materials used could be perfectly adequate and look just fine, but they may be inferior to those materials used in higher-end villas.
One of these villas might provide a comfortable and affordable home for anyone seeking a place in the sun, especially if it’s in close proximity to beaches, shops and restaurants. Prices can start as low as THB 7 million, and some developers offer rental programs for investors. A villa could prove to be an extremely well priced long-term investment.
High End Villas
High end villas are typically near the beach, or in tourist areas. Compared with villa estates, they have slightly larger land plots and floor areas, as well as superior build quality, fixtures and fittings. The attention to architectural detail is usually also more pronounced.
For those with a little more money to spend, high-end villas provide more comfort and enjoy more space. High End and Luxury Villas are extremely easy to rent in the high season, fetching a good return on investment. Some developments in this sector even offer rental programs with guaranteed income for investors.
These villas may sell for as little as THB 20 million and can go as high asTHB 50 million.
Luxury Villas and Super Luxury Villas
There is not a fixed point where high end villas end and luxury villas begin, but for the purpose of this classification, “luxury villas” will be those priced above THB 50 million.
But what, apart from price, makes them so luxurious? They are generally located in the finest areas, with larger plots and living areas. The progressive architectural designs feature spacious interiors, high ceilings, modern western appliances and a keen attention to detail. All bedrooms will have walk-in closets and feature en-suite bathrooms with the highest quality fixtures and fittings.
Luxury and Super Luxury villas are usually nestled on lush tropical hillsides, with spectacular Andaman Sea views, all the more resplendent at sunset. They have large gardens, with a sundeck, an infinity pool, and an outdoor dining sala. In short, the highest standards of quality and comfort.
While the prices start at around THB 50 million, don’t be surprised to see luxury villas being advertised in the USD 10 to 20 million range.
