The KĀHLĪ Rental Pool
Own a home designed to move with you. Whether Phuket is your full-time base or one of several places you call home, enjoy your residence whenever you are here, with the flexibility of professional management and optional rental income while you are away. The rental programme is one part of a broader ownership experience, alongside concierge, 24/7 security and complete property care.
One simple idea, run properly
Hand us the keys when you are not using your home and we run it like a hotel suite. You keep the larger share of the income, and you keep full use of your own home whenever you want it.
Enrol when it suits you
Furnish with one of our approved packages and hand us the keys. Take your home back out of the pool whenever you want it for yourself, with a little notice for guest bookings.
We run it like a hotel suite
Cleaning, linens, maintenance, marketing, bookings and guest service, all handled by KĀHLĪ. If a guest ever causes damage, we recover or cover it, so your home comes back to you as you left it.
Income is pooled and shared fairly
Every enrolled home shares its pool's income pro-rata by how long it was available, so a quiet week for your home is smoothed out by the rest of the pool.
You are paid on your schedule
Choose monthly, quarterly or annual payouts, tracked in your own owner portal in close to real time. You can book your home for yourself there too, at no charge.
What you keep. You take 60% of the pooled income before fees. After a small sales and distribution fee (2.8% of gross) your effective share is about 57.2%, and the ฿15,000 monthly management fee is waived the whole time your home is enrolled.
A worked example. Say ten homes are in a pool and five are booked one night at ฿15,000. That night earns the pool ฿75,000, split 60/40 and shared across all ten homes, not only the five that were occupied. Everyone earns when the pool does.
Two separate pools, one principle
KĀHLĪ runs two rental pools, not one. The idea is identical, but the Hillside Villas and the Terraces are different homes for different buyers, so we keep the pools, and the income, separate. A villa shares only with other villas; a terrace only with other terraces. Choose the one that matches how you want to own.
Hillside Villas pool
Two and three-bedroom pool villas with private gardens. The choice for space, family and a holiday home you enjoy as much as you let. Higher capital value, a steadier yield.
Terraces pool
Two-bedroom-plus terrace homes with a rooftop terrace and covered parking. A lower entry price and a smaller, high-occupancy footprint make for especially strong returns, with the freedom to enjoy or let as you choose.
What each pool could return
Illustrative five-year projections for a single home in each pool, side by side. Occupancy ramps as the destination matures and nightly rates grow modestly on conservative assumptions.

Illustrative projections only, not a guarantee of future income. Villa and Terrace figures both show the owner's net after the sales and distribution fee, an effective 57.2% of gross, and are shown before Thai withholding tax and owner-side costs. KĀHLĪ does not guarantee any rental yield or return. Please take independent legal and financial advice. The plots available now, and their individual projections, are shared on enquiry.
Your income is earned legally, by design
In Thailand, renting a home for stays of under 30 days counts as operating a hotel and needs a hotel licence. Through 2025 the authorities stepped up enforcement against unlicensed daily rentals, Phuket included, with fines and up to a year's imprisonment. Because your home earns inside KĀHLĪ's licensed rental pool, that short-stay income is lawful and the compliance is ours, not yours, unlike a private villa let out daily on its own.
See the market evidence in the business model →Rental pool questions
Are the Villas and Terraces in the same rental pool?
No. KĀHLĪ runs two separate pools, one for the Hillside Villas and one for the Terraces. The way each pool works is identical, but they are different homes for different buyers, so the income from each stays inside its own pool. A villa shares only with other villas, and a terrace only with other terraces.
How is the income split?
You keep 60% of the pooled income before fees, and KĀHLĪ takes 40% to run the programme. After a small sales and distribution fee (2.8% of gross) your effective share is about 57.2%, and your monthly management fee is waived the whole time your home is enrolled.
Do I have to join the pool?
No, it is entirely optional. Your home is yours to live in. The pool is there if you want it to earn while you are away, and you can take your home in and out of the pool whenever it suits you.
Can I still use my own home whenever I want?
Always, with no cap on your own use. The only ask is enough notice of your dates so guest bookings can be managed around them. Family and guests stay at no charge.
How and when am I paid?
Choose monthly, quarterly or annual payouts, tracked in your own owner portal in close to real time. Income is pooled and shared pro-rata by how long your home was available, so a quiet week for your home is smoothed out by the rest of the pool.
Why do the Terraces show higher returns than the Villas?
A smaller footprint and a lower entry price give the Terraces a higher yield as a percentage, which is why they suit an investor-first buyer. The Villas cost more and return a steadier percentage, but on a larger, more valuable home you are more likely to also live in. Different maths for different goals.
Are the returns guaranteed?
No. The projections we share are illustrative, built on conservative occupancy and rate assumptions, and are not a guarantee of future income. KĀHLĪ does not guarantee any rental yield or return. Please take independent legal and financial advice before you buy.
