Overview

Nora Beach Resort, Chaweng Point
EDITOR’S INDEPENDENT REVIEW: Nora Beach Resort is one of the lucky early arrivals in Samui that was able to secure a large plot of beach land with an especially long beachfront facing onto the northern extension of Chaweng Beach that we call Chaweng Point, to differentiate it. It was also built in the days when developers were more concerned with guest comforts than cramming in as many rooms as possible. The majority of rooms here are single-storey garden villas with lush foliage surrounding each room. Along the southern edge is a more conventional three-storey hotel block with 42 Superior Rooms.

As the beach map here shows, this resort commands a 100 metres of beach in front of the main resort, as well as an additional 120 metres strip of beachfront land stretching further up the sand. This gives Nora Beach the luxury of an additional nine beachfront pool villas – called Beachfront Pool Villa Suites – that must qualify among the best right–on-the-beach accommodations on the island.

The beach here is pretty, with scenic views in most directions, but it’s not one of Samui’s best. The sand is fairly narrow, almost disappearing at the highest tides, and the entire bay in front of the hotel is very shallow, so this is not a good swimming beach. Low tide can leave a wide area of sand exposed. The hotel helps compensate by providing quite a large swimming pool, down by the beach. Nora also has an especially pleasant beachside bar, a great place to hang out with a cool drink at sunset. This resort faces directly east, but since the sky often lights up in shades of pink and orange at the end of the day the sunset can also be a delight.

Despite that this resort is quite old, it has been well maintained and renovated, with rooms in excellent condition. Décor is quite simple and elegant, with plush touches through the use of colourful Thai silks plus wooden floors and furniture. Room sizes are comparatively quite large, while the pool villas are especially spacious. All bathrooms have bath tubs as well as showers, while balconies are large enough to be really useful. Amenities are all that is expected in an international-level 4-star resort.

Location is one of the great advantages of Nora Beach Resort. This is close enough to the restaurant, nightlife, shopping and lifestyle centre of Chaweng Beach – a 10–15 minute walk or three minute drive – yet far away enough to provide a tranquil environment. It also gives quick access to the airport and to the secondary dining and entertainment centres at Bophut’s Fisherman’s Village and the sunset viewing bars in Big Buddha.
