How much does it cost to rent a villa in Kamala
Kamala lists 62 villas for long-term rent. Entry rate: ฿30,000 a month, and the median across all bedrooms is ฿135,000 — almost level with the island-wide villa median of ฿130,000, a gap of about 4%. Rawai carries the exact same ฿135,000 median — two zones with very different reputations converging on one rental figure.
The bedroom mix centers on two and three bedrooms: 24 villas (39%) with two bedrooms median ฿87,500, and 16 villas (26%) with three median ฿150,000. Four-bedroom villas (12 listings, 19%) push the median to ฿165,000. Above that sit a handful of larger estates: 4 five-bedroom villas from ฿435,000 and three six-bedroom villas from ฿600,000. For context, Surin holds the highest median among large villa zones at ฿180,000, while Chalong holds the lowest at ฿90,000.
What the rent includes, and what costs extra
The standard: a twelve-month lease, a two-month deposit, and the first month paid at signing. Electricity and water are metered separately — the pool pump adds a cost that a condo tenant never sees.
60 of Kamala's 62 villas are fully furnished, with one more partly furnished — 98% of the supply furnished in some form. Pool and garden upkeep on a yearly lease is usually the owner's responsibility, but that should be written into the contract, not assumed. Ten listings — about 16% — are dual-listed for rent and sale; our renting-vs-buying guide runs the maths on that kind of deal, and the full long-term rental catalogue covers every other zone for comparison.
Who Kamala actually suits for a long lease
Kamala carries the "Millionaires Mile" reputation for villas sold above the beach — the rental picture is more level-headed: the median here matches the island average, with no premium for the postcode. Among the 26 of 62 villas we can pin precisely by project, the nearest beach averages 1.7 km away, and none sit closer than 0.8 km.
Two- and three-bedroom villas — 40 of 62 listings, nearly two-thirds of the market — are the default size for a couple or small family. Condos in the same zone list 166 units at a ฿35,000 median, the option for tenants who don't need a private pool and garden. The Kamala district guide covers the beach, road access and schools in more depth.
