1. Location
Location is one of the most important details when it comes to villa purchases. It would be nice to be perched along the edge of a cliff all on your own, or in the middle of the rice fields away from the city, or at the edge of a jungle, and while this all sounds incredibly romantic, remember that practicality is key and you would want to be in close proximity to essentials and conveniences.
If you’re a foreigner and planning to rent your ocean view villa in the future, chances are the location that you choose would also be appealing to other foreigners. Convenience is key and many people, yourself and your family included, wouldn’t want to travel too far to get to the town center, restaurants, schools, shopping, or the beach.
