Who we are
Coral Bay Resort is designed for travelers in search of a relaxing
and eco-friendly holiday experience. The peaceful natural environment
of Coral Bay Resort minimizes the stress of todays urban lifestyle
and offers a welcome alternative to the crowded concrete establishments
that unfortunately are becoming all too prevalent on Koh Samui.
|
 |
 |
 |
Our 56 bungalows are set amid 10 acres of lush tropical
gardens, ensuring an atmosphere of serenity and privacy. Surrounded
by luxuriant coconut palms and flowering shrubs, the charming Samui-style
dwellings built of wood and stone with traditional thatched roofs offer
the highest standards of comfort.
|
Our Philosophy
Since opening in 1982, we have worked hard to maintain the delicate
balance between preserving the natural charm of Koh Samui while providing
the amenities for our discerning guests. The abundant tropical flora
creates a sanctuary for many species of birds, butterflies and squirrels. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Ever conscious of the environment, our swimming
pools are 100% chlorine-free and we use recycled waste water to maintain
the extensive gardens and new plants in our nursery.
The waste
water is pretreated through stages of septic tanks, biotanks and settlement
tanks before filtering through a natural treatment system of media,
aquatic flora / fauna and finally polished off with a protein skimmer
which purifies the water further and convert harmful nitrates into beneficial
ones before it goes into our sprinkler system.

 |
  |
Where we
are
We are situated on Yai Noi Bay, north
Chaweng Beach on the northeastern part of Koh Samui, about 10 minutes
from the airport. |
| |
 |
Our island style,
thatched-roofed, wood and stone bungalows are spaced well apart
from one another and surrounded by a profusion of greenery to ensure
maximum privacy. Representing the ultimate value for money, each has

deck chairs and loungers, cooled by sea breezes and ceiling fans. Commanding
a view of extensive tropical gardens or the sea it makes a perfect daytime
or nighttime hangout. Amenities for each bungalow include:

Located towards the front of the property, these
beachfront units are just steps away from the beach while the higher
units command breathtaking sea views. The 104 m2 bungalows are built
like a duplex: the two side-by-side-bedrooms with interconnecting doors
share the large 30 m2 balcony, but have separate large and airy bathrooms.

:: Baan Chomjan
Villa ::
The stunning Baan Chomjan Villa
is located on one side of the resort, close enough for easy
access to the beach, pool and restaurants yet totally self-contained
for those desiring greater solitude. Offering uninterrupted vistas over
a secluded bay, the luxurious Baan Chomjan Villa is aptly named 'moon-viewing
house'. The Thai word 'jan'(moon) also refers to the clusters of huge
white moon flowers that climb the trellis in front of the spacious and
ultra-private villa and bloom only in the late afternoon. Built of teak,
local hardwoods, sandstone and slate, the villa embodies a simultaneously
lavish yet earthy design, redolent of an island-style country residence.
|
 . |
The 55 m2 master bedroom on the ground floor opens onto a spacious
private terrace. With its ensuite bathroom, chaise lounge, writing desk,
and 29' cable TV, the large airy space makes a perfect hideaway within
the villa. The room stays pleasantly cool either by using the air conditioner
or in the cooler seasons, by opening the sliding doors to let in the
sea breezes. Upstairs, each of the two 32 m2 bedrooms has a balcony, ensuite bathroom and a ceiling fan as well as air conditioner. |
 |
Ingeniously arrayed under a tall vaulted ceiling,
the fully air conditioned open-plan living room, den and kitchen/dining
area offer maximum space and functionality. The den has plenty of comfortable
seating for reading or watching the 50 flat panel LCD TV with its surround-sound
speaker system. Web surfers can check emails on the computer workstation
with an ADSL connection online all the time. Wi-Fi is available from
various access points in the villa (den, upstairs balcony, living and
dining rooms and the terrace). For those who prefer cooking at home,
the European-style kitchen is fully equipped with all major appliances
including a 4-burner stove and oven, microwave as well as utensils and
cutlery.
|
 |
 |
 |
Although the hotel pool is only a few meters away,
an added perk is the new 4m x 10m private 100% chlorine-free pool for
the exclusive use of Baan Chomjan and Baan Chomdao guests. Built on
a raised concrete surface with a wooden deck, it is surrounded by sandstone
tiles and features a lava rock waterfall. Nearly hidden behind lush
tropical trees and flowers, the lap pool is sunny until noon and stays
pleasantly cool and shady during the hot afternoons. The built-in swim
jet will provide a challenge for those in need of a serious workout.
|
 |
 |
 |
The beautifully appointed
Baan Chomjan is set apart in its own compound with private entrance
and night time security. The rate is inclusive of breakfast and tax
for up to six persons. For an extra charge, an additional two people
can be accommodated by converting the two day beds in the den into single
beds. Those sleeping in the den can either share one of the upstairs
ensuite bathrooms or use the guest toilet downstairs. Baan Chomjan residents
also have full use of all hotel facilities. |

Eats and drinks ...
Whether
you are a carnivore or a vegetarian, a bon vivant or a teetotaler, you
will find something to satisfy your needs on our extensive food and
drink menu. Our guests often say we serve the best Thai food on the
island. They appreciate that we do not tone down the flavors to satisfy
westernized notions of Thai cuisine unless we are specifically requested
to do so.
|
 |
 |
  |
Plus we use only the fresh coconut cream in our
curries and cocktails. (With nearly 200 coconut trees on site, why buy
the canned stuff?) At the Pakarang (coral in Thai)
restaurant, you will never feel enclosed, whether dining indoors or
al fresco on the wooden deck. Sipping an exotic cocktail (shaken, never
stirred) at the Coco-rock Beach Bar is an ideal way
to celebrate the end of yet another perfect day at Coral Bay Resort. |
 |
HANGING OUT
HERE
Being in paradise doesn not mean being bored!
On site is a fresh water swimming pool (with childrens section) overlooking
the sea, plus ping pong and beach volleyball. The coral reef in the
bay offers good snorkeling, fishing and shelling. The tiny island of Koh Matlang opposite the resort has an adjacent reef and is accessible
by short long-tail boat or at low tide, by wading. Snorkeling equipment
and kayaks are available for rent, as are jeeps and motorbikes. Windsurfers,
parasailers, scooters and jet skis can be rented on the main part of
nearby Chaweng beach.
Our Internet workstation at the lobby is
available for guests in need of their daily email fix, while those who
have brought along their Wi-Fi enabled notebooks can plug in
at the lobby, restaurant and swimming pool if they are away from their
rooms.
|
 |
|
 |
AMATA SPA ...
Our new spa is located next to the swimming pool. With its cool
interiors and intimate setting, it is an ideal hideaway for a day of
pampering and healing. Detox in the infrared sauna followed by a high
pressure jet massage, then bliss out under the gentle care of our well-trained
therapists. |
 |
We take pride in using only the very best natural
products to ensure that you benefit fully from each treatment with no
possibility of an allergic reaction. Consult our Spa Manager, who is
also a registered nurse, to choose a therapy to suit your needs or have
a package custom-designed for you. Whatever your choice, we aim to de-stress,
detoxify, soothe away your aches and pains, rejuvenate and elevate your
sense of well-being. Go ahead, make your day! Give your body the treat
it deserves. |
