When will The Astra Samui be finished?
Handover planned for December 2028 (Q4 2028), according to the sales documents. It is a target, not a guaranteed date. The documents link it to the first phase of the project, so ask us which phase your apartment belongs to. The roof structure is planned for February 2028.

How big are the apartments?
Apartments measure about 26–73 m², from the studio to the largest 2-bedroom layout. Ceiling height: 2.6 m. The documents do not yet say whether the area includes the balcony; ask us about a specific unit and we check it for you.
