This resort sits on the quiet headland at the northern curve of Chaweng Beach. You look across the Gulf of Thailand, with long views towards the horizon and green hills behind you. Koh Samui International Airport is a short drive away, which keeps travel time short after a long flight. Chaweng’s shops and bars sit within easy reach, yet the bay around Nora Buri keeps a gentler, more refined pace.

Rooms and villas feel made for lazy days and long evenings. You step into warm woods, soft fabrics and wide beds that face the sea. Many pool villas sit on the hillside, so you swim with grand views and complete privacy. Beachfront rooms place you closer to the sand and the sound of the waves. Thoughtful details, such as deep tubs and daybeds on terraces, make time in your room feel indulgent.

You shape the days to match your mood. Start with a swim as the sun rises over the gulf, then linger with a book at the edge of the infinity pool. Book a treatment at Anodas Spa and feel your muscles soften under expert hands. Join a cooking class, taste local herbs and learn simple dishes to recreate at home. Evening walks along lantern-lit paths round off the calm island rhythm.

Life at Nora Buri centres around space, light and views. Multi-level pools sit on both hillside and beachfront, so you choose between high vistas and water at eye level. Anodas Spa offers a peaceful world of Thai and Western rituals, perfect after long-haul travel. A bright fitness room, a small children’s play space and well-planned paths and lifts help you move across the steep grounds with ease.

Dining at Nora Buri feels relaxed yet polished. Manora Restaurant sets the tone each morning with breakfast beside the pool. In the evening, The Barge, The Rice Barge, and Terrace serve Thai dishes, seafood, and grilled meat, with a mix of local flavours and classic comfort. You sip drinks in the pool bar or on the terrace and watch the sky move through shades of gold and rose.

Nora Buri lends itself to special moments. You choose from hillside spaces with sweeping views or lawns close to the beach for a wedding or vow renewal. The team arranges flowers, music and menus with care, so you spend time with the people who matter. Private pool villas work well for honeymoon stays, with in-villa dinners and long, quiet mornings. It feels like a smart, intimate stage for landmark days.
