Overview
ShaSa Resort & Residences (also listed by some aggregators under the name Casa Vela Samui) is a 5-star hillside resort and residence at Laem Set on Koh Samui's south coast, developed by Aquarius Hotel Collection and completed in 2010. The mixed-use project totals 33 residential units -- one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium suites of 120-164 sqm plus a 164 sqm Beach Front Pool Villa -- built into a slope with panoramic Gulf-of-Thailand views, backed by five-star hotel facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, on-site restaurant, spa, sauna and a children's playroom. It suits long-stay residents and investors who want resort-grade service on a quieter stretch of coast away from Chaweng and Lamai's main strips. Condominium suites can be owned freehold within the building's standard 49% foreign-ownership quota under the Condominium Act -- confirm remaining quota per unit -- while the Beach Front Pool Villa sits on land that cannot be foreign-freehold and is instead held on a registered lease or through a Thai company. The rental range shown is a directional estimate based on comparable listed units, not a confirmed lease figure.
