Nirvana Beach Resort – An idyllic Thai buy
On schedule for 10% annual growth in international visitors (13.82 million in 2006, 14.8 million expected for 2007 and 15.5 million targeted for 2008 – TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand)), the Thai government isn't just hankering after tourists, it's angling for the discerning sophisticated tourist who doesn't think twice about placing pleasure before budget. Resorts such as Nirvana on idyllic Koh Chang will be just the ticket…The island of Koh Chang, second only in size to Phuket, is a mountainous paradise cloaked in rainforest and rhythmic waterfalls. Bathed in 30 degree plus sunshine all-year, Koh Chang is far from mainland rivers guaranteeing crystal-clear sediment-free water and wedding-white beaches. Along with 40 small surrounding islands, the island forms part of the Koh Chang Marine National Park designated in 1982 to protect the rich forests and submerged coral reefs from vigorous modernization and development. The 29 species of animal, 74 of bird and 42 of reptiles and amphibians are respected with low-rise low-density construction only in designated zones.
Darran McDermott, Director of Investments Worldwide promoting Nirvana Beach Resort on Koh Chang, comments, “Known all over the world as ‘the land of smiles’ Thailand offers all the ingredients for a perfect holiday from scenery to beaches, weather to cuisine and a friendly native population for whom hospitality comes naturally. The property market is now exhibiting the same bullish strength as the tourist sector and delivering consistent annual capital growth on good quality developments of between 10 and 15%. Rental yields are also above average at between 8 and 15% per year and out-perform other popular second home markets such as Bulgaria and Cyprus thanks to a year-round season, not just a few busy summer months. Nirvana Beach Resort itself is offering a two year 10% rental guarantee as an acknowledgement of its market confidence.”
Nirvana Beach Resort on the north west of the island consists of Thai-style detached villas each frontline to the beach or lush gardens. To be delivered fully-furnished, all villas have spacious air-conditioned rooms, en-suite bedrooms, private Jacuzzis and balconies with blissful views.

English-speaking staff will be on hand to help you make the most of your time on Koh Chang, both within and outside the confines of the resort.
