Back to Questions
Q 1.2: What type of resort development will be associated with my Soneva Kiri villa?
A 1.2: The Soneva Kiri resort itself is a luxury self-contained resort situated on a 41 hectare site (more than one hundred acres) in the first phase of development, with an additional 19 hectares (50 acres) to be developed in a second phase. In total, it will comprise 42 hotel pool villas looking out to the Gulf of Thailand. There will be three restaurants and numerous leisure facilities. It will feature a Six Senses Spa, retail village and a celebratory pavilion. As with each Soneva property, it is being developed with the principles of ecologically sustainable design and material selection, and with construction methods adapted to protect the environment. Electrical golf carts and bicycles will be the mode of transport within the resort.
Back to Questions
Q 2.1: How will my villa purchase be legally structured? Does Soneva Kiri offer freehold land?
A 2.1: With limited exceptions, Thai law does not allow foreigners to acquire freehold land. Foreigners, however, are able to lease land in Thailand, and actually to purchase the building that sits atop the land being leased. Thus, Soneva Kiri will offer you a long land lease, and will allow you to purchase the villa that sits atop the land you are leasing. In order to further protect you in your capacity as a 'Lessee' of the land, you, together with all other Lessees, will have an ownership interest in the 'Lessor', which prevents the key terms of the lease from being amended without your approval.
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.
These agreements will, among other things, collectively regulate the management of the villas and landscaping, limit usage to residential use only, establish maintenance fees for common areas of the property, establish easements on roads and paths to facilities and beaches, and create a management relationship with Soneva Kiri resort.
Back to Questions
Q 2.2: What are the land lease terms?
A 2.2: Under current Thai law, the maximum term of a land lease is 30 years. However, Soneva Kiri offers you 3 lease extensions of 30 years each. Therefore, the total duration of your lease would be 30+30+30+30= 120 years. Should the laws on foreign ownership alter at any later stage Soneva Kiri will allow the conversion of your leasehold interest into a freehold or a longer registered leasehold interest for no additional consideration (although you would need to pay all legal, regulatory and administrative costs associated with such conversion).
Back to Questions
Q 2.3: Does the land lease need to be registered?
A 2.3: Yes, any land lease longer than 3 years must be registered with the local authorities at the Land Department where the property is located. A Lease Registration Fee of 1% and stamp duty of 0.1% of the rental of the land for the first 30 years is then collected by the Land Department, (subject to change by the Land Department). You do not need to be present at the Land Department to register the lease. You may authorize a representative to undertake the registration on your behalf or appoint Soneva Kiri to do so.
Back to Questions
Q 2.4: What is the cost of the lease rental? Do we need to pay additional rental fees for the automatic lease renewals Soneva Kiri is offering?
A 2.4: The rental fee will be proportionate to the land size and value. The rental amount will cover the initial 30-year land lease, plus the three 30-year lease extensions. No additional lease rental fees will be required of you. At the time of each renewal, however, the lease must be re-registered with the Land Department. A lease registration fee of 1% and stamp duty of 0.1% of the rental of the land for each 30 years’ period (subject to change by the Land Department), will be payable to the Land Department at the time of each renewal in order to process the registration.
Back to Questions
Q 2.5: What is the total purchase price for the villa and the land?
A 2.5: The villa cost will vary depending on the villa selected. Villa pricing begins at USD 3.0 million, and varies according to the villa specifications and location.

Furthermore, while in residence, you will receive 20% off of all Soneva Kiri hotel services including treatments taken at the Six Senses Spa, purchases made at the Six Senses Gallery, and purchases from any of our food and beverage outlets.
Soneva Kiri will have its own private Cessna Grand Caravan, seating up to eight passengers, to transfer you and your guests in style and comfort from Bangkok to your island home. As a villa owner, you will receive one complimentary arrival and departure plane transfer for up to six visits per year subject to our advance scheduling restrictions. Your complimentary transfer will apply for up to eight members of your party (one plane load) traveling together to and from the resort. We will also make complimentary seats available for any additional members of your party on a space available basis on our regularly scheduled hotel guest transfer flights. Should you wish additional confirmed seats, the then current transfer rate shall apply. We expect the transfer rate to be approximately USD 200 – 250 per person round trip in the resort’s first two years, provided no significant increases in fuel costs occur.
Soneva Kiri will also purchase and maintain a private boat for the exclusive use of villa owners. Owners will be able to charter the boat at subsidized rates for their excursions while in residence. We intend, and are currently seeking approval, to develop a small marina adjacent to the resort. Villa owners would have the opportunity to rent space in the marina for their private boats.
In addition, you will automatically become a member of The Soneva Club, a benefit you can make use of all year, no matter where you are located. The Soneva Club is a private members only club. Benefits with various like minded brands will also be offered, and will be constantly updated via a website link.

We’ll book you into the best restaurants, health clubs, concerts, plays, operas, sporting events and nightclubs... you name it,the Soneva Club can almost certainly sort it.
Additional benefits with various like minded brands will also be offered, and will be constantly updated via a website link.
