Luxury Living in Langkawi : The Land of All One's Wishes

Malaysia property has been relatively unscathed in the global investment property according to the independent Global Property Guide for 2009 which shows the region is 9th out of 91 territories, currently yielding average rental incomes of over nine per cent.

Described as Malaysia’s best kept secret, Langkawi is the largest of 99 archipelago islands situated 30km off the west coast of Malaysia. With a particularly benign climate and stunning environment it is surrounded by pristine white sand beaches, coral reefs, limestone coves and minor islands with crystal clear waters. Inland is mountainous, covered with ancient rain forest and riddled with bat caves and tunnels. The great majority of the island’s residents speak English.

Recognised as one of the most stunning resorts in the world by the cognoscenti it boasts 5* hotels, excellent shopping, superb multicultural cuisine and caters for a wide variety of interests and activities including sailing, diving, golf, exploring and all manner of extreme sports. Nature lovers will find it teeming with tropical flora and fauna. The marine biology is particularly diverse.

Since 1987 Langkawi has had duty-free status and this has encouraged tourism. However, development on the island has always been strictly controlled. Furthermore it was designated a UNESCO World Geopark in 2007. Quality real estate will therefore be in limited supply, and is set to be in increasing demand now that direct flights from major cities like London are making the Langkawi experience more accessible.

DSR Asset Management Ltd. have a limited number of exclusive properties on the island available for sale in 2009. Malaysia's leading heritage architect, commissioned specially for this sensitive project, has specified the finest natural materials to create Villas with a traditional/contemporary Asian design in harmony with the landscape. Properties all come with private swimming pools, and interiors are finished to the highest standards using local hardwood and marble. Roofs are concrete-tiled to blend with the vernacular architecture.

As well as securing a residence in one of the most sought-after locations in the world, purchasers can have their property fully managed by a local hotel group with the potential to generate healthy rental income.
