The housing market on the Thai island of Koh Samui, according to the consulting company Colliers Thailand, peaked in 2025: sales of new villas are at a 15-year high, and land prices have increased by 10%. Analysts compare the situation with the boom in Phuket in 2022.
The reason: the foreign demand for apartments and villas of the middle and high price segment.
Koh Samui remains a popular destination for both tourists and investors, helped by an active tourism recovery and growing interest in long-term rentals and real estate investments, said Phattarachi Taviwong, Director of Research and Communications at Colliers Thailand. Over the past two years, the island has launched at least two major projects for the construction of condominiums with a total area of more than 360 units, as well as more than 400 new villas.Colliers predicts that 2025 will be the most successful year in the last 15 years in terms of the number of new villas commissioned on the island, especially in key areas such as Bo Phut, Maenam, Chaweng, Chongmon and Lamai.
