Rentals Are Booming At Yambay L ocated at the top floors of the Milford Paradise building, a beachfront property originally built in the early 1990’s, nests Yambay, constructing one of the most interesting condominium and hotel developments in Hua Hin. The concept of Yambay is to renovate existing beachfront condominiums, set them up to operate as fully functional hotel suites with sea view hot tubs, spacious terraces, stylish interior designs by an acclaimed Finnish designer, relaxing lounge sofas and on top of all, amazing sea views from every unit. Rental operations are fully managed 34 June 15 - July 15 , 2015 by Yambay’s International Hotel Management team and revenues are divided among the private owners of the condominiums and the Yambay Management Company. In this way Yambay offers attractive opportunities for private buyers to purchase a condominium to enjoy in Hua Hin and from which to receive solid rental returns from when the unit would otherwise be unoccupied. As the units are rented with daily rates, significantly higher overall returns can be reached, compared to renting out a condominium traditionally with weekly or monthly rates. SUCCESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND VACATION RENTAL MARKETS “We strive to find new and more innovative ways to market Yambay for our hotel customers. We have been successful in the launch of our hotel operations since last year and proved that the new generation of travelers are very effectively reached through social media and Vacation Rental markets, such as for example Airbnb and Flipkey websites”, says the General Manager of Yambay, Mr. Karet Nilsa-nga. Yambay’s strategy seems to work as it has during the past year achieved average monthly occupancies of 90%
