LOCATION: 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 today’s urban lifestyle and offers a welcome alternative to the crowded concrete establishments that, unfortunately, are becoming all too prevalent on Koh Samui. Our 53 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 high standards of comfort.

Since opening in 1982, we’ve 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, we use recycled waste water to maintain the extensive gardens and new plants in our nursery. The waste water is pretreated through three stages of septic tanks before filtering through a natural treatment system of gravel, water hyacinths, cattails and fish. This “constructed wetlands” system has enabled us to indulge our passion for gardening on an island where fresh water is a precious commodity. SHOW MAP

WINING & DINING: Our guests frequently tell us that we have the best Thai food on the island and that our curries and cocktails are sublime. Maybe it's because we do not normally tone down the food to fit the usual concept of Westernized Thai food unless requested to do so.And it could be that we only use fresh coconut cream in curries and cocktails. Who needs canned cream when you have more than 400 coconut trees Dine indoor at Pakarang,which means coral in Thai,surrounded by works of art capturing the essence of Koh Samui or be dazzled by the colors of tropical fish in a huge aquarium incorporated into the indoor/outdoor bar.Watch the moon rise at the Moon Terrace under what is arguably the largest bougainvillea tree in Koh Samui where mynahs and magpie robins sing for their breakfast.
