Thailand, located at the very heart of Southeast Asia –
formerly the Kingdom of Siam – is bordered by the Gulf of
Thailand to the south and the Indian Ocean to the west.
This mystical country benefits from an ideal climate, with
soothing tropical breezes and average temperatures of between
24 and 33 ˚C, or 75 and 92 ˚F. It is also extremely accessible,
with frequent direct flights to Bangkok from most major cities
around the globe.
For centuries visitors have celebrated the splendor of
Thailand’s stunning and varied landscapes, as well as the
gentleness of its welcoming and friendly people. Curiously, it is
the only country in Southeast Asia never to have been colonized
– indeed, much of its charm may be due to the fact that it has
been allowed to evolve naturally, to become a colourful melting
pot of cultures, traditions, exotic scents and mouth-watering
cuisine, that combine to inspire and tantalise the senses.
With so much to offer, it is unsurprising that Thailand has been
ranked consistently amongst the world’s most popular travel
destinations. Now, with the recent relaxation of property
ownership laws, overseas purchasers can invest with even greater
confidence in a secure and growing residential property market,
with the abundant lifestyle benefits associated with this
magnificent country.

Situated on the east coast of Thailand in the Koh Chang Marine National Park, Koh Kood is Thailand’s fourth largest island.
Renowned for its pure waterfalls, crystal clear waters and traditional village life, Koh Kood lies within the protected waters of the
Gulf of Siam and features spectacular landscapes and lush tropical rainforests fringed with white sandy beaches, leading into
turquoise waters and unspoiled coral reefs beyond.
Acclaimed as one of the most pristine and untouched islands in Thailand, this spectacular location was carefully selected for
Soneva Kiri Resort and Residences. The developers, acclaimed global pioneers in creating luxury eco-resorts, have taken
enormous care to protect the natural environment here, managing successfully to blend it with incomparable levels of comfort
and service.
Uncompromising in the pursuit of perfection, Soneva Kiri has been meticulously created to deliver the same exacting high Soneva
standards as our world-renowned sister resorts in the Maldives, Soneva Fushi and Soneva Gili.

catering for every taste
The View, fine dining restaurant
We pride ourselves not only on the quality and variety of our food
and service, but especially on the environment in which the dining
experience takes place.
At Soneva Kiri we believe that dining is an important ingredient in
the whole experience. Whether a romantic meal for two or a dinner
party with a personalized menu at one of the resort’s restaurants;
whether an unforgettable tree-top dining experience or an intimate
moonlit dinner on a private beach; whether a private cooking class
with a master chef, or a gastronomic meal prepared for you in your
own villa – whatever your mood, you can be sure that the settings
will be as memorable and exceptional as the cuisine itself.
All our chefs prepare mouth-watering, healthy and balanced dishes
using only the freshest produce, much of which is grown in our own
organic fruit and vegetable gardens.

vIlla rental programme
Your villa is yours to enjoy, therefore, our Villa Rental Programme is tailored to your desires. As an owner, you may use your villa for as little or as much time as you like, whether that be 1
week or 11 months. When you are not in residence, you may elect to place your villa in the Villa Rental Programme. Upon enrollment, we will ask you to provide us with a schedule of when
you would like your villa to be included in our inventory over the next calendar year. If you change your mind, you may terminate with 6 months prior written notice, and your agreement to
honor any previously made bookings. You may choose not to include your master bedroom and/or any of the other bedrooms in the Villa Rental Programme inventory. We will enroll only the
bedrooms you make available.
Soneva Kiri will place 16 % of Room Revenue into a Reserve Fund which will go towards covering the expenses associated with the maintenance of villa furniture, fixtures and equipment, and
those expenses associated with the rental of your villa like housekeeping, laundry and the daily room amenities provided to villa guests. The remaining 84 % of Room Revenue will be allocated
between you and Soneva Kiri as follows:
Until 6 % gross yield: Villa owner will receive 80 % of Room Revenue, and Soneva Kiri will receive 20 % of Room Revenue.
Incremental gross yield above 6 %: Villa owner will receive 40 % of Room Revenue, and Soneva Kiri will receive 60 % of Room Revenue.
land lease and vIlla purchase agreements
Buyers are able to lease the land and to purchase the building that sits atop the land being leased, as currently Thai law does not generally allow foreigners to acquire freehold land. Under
current Thai law the maximum term of a land lease is 30 years, therefore overseas purchasers can be offered a long land lease, and then they purchase the villa that sits on the land. As such,
buyers at Soneva Kiri will be offered 3 x lease extensions of 30 years each (i.e. 30+30+30+30 = 120 years).
Should the laws on foreign ownership alter in future, Soneva Kiri will allow the conversion of your leasehold interest into a freehold (or a longer leasehold) for no additional consideration.
In order to further protect you, together with all other Lessees you will hold an ownership interest in the “Lessor”; this prevents the key terms of the lease from being amended without your
approval.
ownershIp agreements
Ownership will be legally structured via a Master Agreement, a Lease Agreement to include lease obligations, easements and regulations, and a Maintenance and Management Agreement.
Villa construction will be legally structured via an Individual Construction Contract with our Contractor and a Construction Management Agreement with a company in our Group who will
act as Owner’s representative.
fees
A Lease Registration Fee of 1 % and stamp duty of 0.1 % of the rental of the land for the first 30 years will be paid by Soneva Kiri to the Land Department as part of your purchase price. You
may authorize Soneva Kiri or another representative to undertake your lease registration at the Land Department. The rental fee will be proportionate to the land size and value and will cover
the initial 30-year land lease, plus the three 30-year lease extensions. No additional lease rental fees will be required but at the time of each renewal the lease must be re-registered.
resale & assIgnment
Prior approval of the developer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) is necessary for re-sales, and you may choose to resell your villa once all villas available in phase one have
been sold by the developer and full payment for your villa has been received. If your villa is sold to a purchaser who is introduced to you by the developer or any member of our staff, we
will charge an assignment fee of 3 % of the resale price. Soneva Private Residences has built a global network of agents and intermediaries who are the top luxury real estate specialists
in their countries and who understand Soneva Kiri’s value proposition. They would be happy to help resell your Soneva Kiri home.
modIfIcatIons to vIllas
The developer’s written approval is necessary only if you wish to modify the exterior of the villa or the landscape design. Villa owners who elect not to join the Rental Pool may alter
their villas to the extent that the alterations do not affect the exterior of the villa itself or the appearance from the exterior.
warrantIes
The developer offers a 1-year construction warranty on the villa, along with a 5-year warranty on the structural elements of the villa. It should be noted that all villas at Soneva Kiri are
constructed using the highest quality materials, which have been selected specifically for their durability in order to withstand the demands of a tropical climate. All internal fixtures
and fittings come with a manufacturers’ warranty.
payment
The payment schedule is as follows:
• A 5 % deposit is required to secure your villa (refundable within 30 days);
• An additional 10 % is due upon contract execution;
• 30 % due upon 1/3 completion;
• 30 % due upon 2/3 completion;
• The remaining 25 % is due upon completion of your villa
All deposits are non-refundable unless stated.
