Samui’s Booming Villa Rental Marketed Featured in New C9 Hotelworks Report

Category: Hotels|Real estate, Posted:11 Jun 2024 | 07:04 am

Standalone villas shake up traditional hospitality supply as the market rises. Increasing demand for multi-bedroom accommodation growing, coupled with a preference for spacious and private villas according to new research from C9 Hotelworks in their new Samui Villa Rental Market Review.

In recent years, private villas rented as vacation homes have emerged as a significant segment of tourist accommodation in Samui. Platforms like Airbnb serve this market, offering a range of options from midscale to luxury properties. Independent management companies such as Elite Havens, The Luxe Nomad, and a handful of local groups are significant players in the luxury segment as many consumers require other management and concierge services in addition to only rentals.

According to our market research, there are approximately 5,800 holiday rentals available in Samui. These properties market-wide have an average daily rate of THB13,700 and maintain an annualized occupancy rate of 55% year-to-date in 2024, resulting in a Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) of THB7,535. With favorable returns, we see increased investment in the sector, particularly in upscale build-to-rent villas.

While the post-COVID growth of villa developments marks growing family demand on the island, many of the properties lack professional management and product standards, whereby the owners focus on visual presentation and low rental rates as a main sales strategy. The concentration of this supply is located on inland hillside areas with lower investment costs, resulting in reduced rates. Rate pressure does not affect beachfront villas as inventory is still limited.

With spreading competition from often unregulated hospitality supply, the market is turning to management companies with a local operating presence. Access to clientele through brand recognition does not only increase overall rental turnover and rates but also result in better overall cost control from management. Operations are becoming increasingly challenged by the lack of skilled manpower.
