Sunday, September 28th, 2008

“Nora” is a character from a famous Southern Thai legend which lend inspiration to the architects of the Nora Beach Resort & Spa on Koh Samui in their effort to combine Southern Thai culture with traditional Thai architecture to create a mystique atmosphere around the comforts and sophistication of the western world. The creators of Nora Beach Resort & Spa have chosen a very unique location to establish a spa retreat for vacationers who seek relaxation and comfort in a pristine, natural environment. Nora Beach Resort is situated at the northern edge Chaweng Beach, where the surroundings are still quiet and pristine. As the shore inclines it provides beautiful views over the coastline and the sea.  Despite its secluded character downtown Chaweng and Samui Airport are less than 10 minutes away.

In delicate balance of fantastic terrain and exclusive hospitality, luxurious guest villas on the hill side look out over a tropical oasis. The main lobby is an impressive Thai-style building at the top of the hill. A small stream flows through the lobby building and then cascades through the gardens and between the guest villas and the soothing sound of falling water is a natural feature of the resort. The lush green hills are landscaped with care, tropical flowers and orchids blossoming everywhere. White powdery sand at the base contrasts with rich green vegetation and turquoise water on either side.  The water is clear and temperatures are ideal for swimming year-round. Overlooking the beach is a 400 square meter swimming pool with swim-up bar. There is also a children pool and a Jacuzzi.

Poolside along the beach is the main resort restaurant, which serves Island-Asian fusion cuisine with nightly special menus of fresh barbequed seafood and traditional southern Thai cuisine. The ambiance and the food make every meal a most enjoyable and memorable dining experiences at Nora. Nora’s fitness center and Anodas Spa are also located near the swimming pool. Whether aromatherapy or Royal Thai massage, Anodas Spa treatments are clearly another highlight in your Nora Resort experience.
