Property Highlight


Hi all! We keep intending to write but being blissfully relaxed is taking up all our time and energy! Thanks so much for turning us on to Coral Bay Resort. At the risk of sounding like one of those effusive tourist brochures... the place is seriously paradisiacal.  Picture this. Ten acres of coconut-palmed hillside sloping gently down to a secluded beach on the undeveloped northeast coast of Koh Samui. Endless jungle gardens of exotic tropical plants and fragrant flowers. You know, those lush but not manicured kind of gardens that invite meandering... unless of course you're just too busy lounging by the sea-view pool sipping a refreshing drink. Which is what we end up doing every afternoon. (We'll go sightseeing tomorrow, we keep telling ourselves.)  Besides, why venture forth when everything we need is right here? Our thatched-roofed wood and stone bungalow is perfect. Like the gardens it's well tended and has all the modern conveniences yet exudes a homey naturalness. (We understand all Samui resorts were built in this rustic style before concrete replaced coconut wood as the construction material of choice!)

Gardens


We begin each day with an American breakfast served al fresco at the Pakarang restaurant. Yeah, it's a hard life gazing out beyond the magnificent flowering bougainvillea at the gentle waves lapping the sand. If we feel super energetic we might wade across to Koh Matlang, a tiny island opposite the resort, and snorkel around the reef. But mainly we just hang out reading. Or better still, eating. The food here is incredible. It actually tastes Thai! (Unlike that westernized stuff that masquerades as Thai cuisine in so many restaurants.)

Listen. You guys should DEFINITELY think about coming along with us next time. We'll book the luxurious Baan Chomjan villa (three bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, balcony, private entrance) and just chill. Sounds like an amazingly good plan, n'est-ce pas?  Oops, it's nearly sunset beverage time at the Coco-Rock Beach Bar. Gotta go watch the sky turn pinky violet and listen to eclectic grooves from their vast CD collection. And face the heaviest decision of the day: what to have for dinner!
Take care and see you soon (if we ever manage to tear ourselves away from here).

WHO WE ARE
Coral Bay Resort is designed for travellers 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.

Coral Bay Resort

OUR PHILOSOPHY
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 pre-treated 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.

The original furniture and fittings in these spacious new bungalows create a rustically elegant feel. Located towards the front of the property, these units command breathtaking sea views.

BAAN CHOMJAN LUXURY 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" or 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 21" 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 function

The den has plenty of comfortable seating for reading or watching the 50" projection TV with its surround-sound speaker system. 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 13m x 6m private lap pool for the exclusive use of Baan Chomjan and Baan Chomdao guests.

Kitchen and dining area

Built on a raised concrete surface with a wooden deck, sandstone tiles and lava rock waterfall and 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 water jet will provide a challenge for those in need of a serious workout. To be completed by July 2005

The beautifully appointed Baan Chomjan is set apart in its own compound with private entrance and nighttime 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.

Facilities


Hanging out here

Being in paradise doesn't mean being bored! On site is a fresh water swimming pool (with children's section) over looking the sea plus ping pong and beach volleyball. The coral reef in the bay offers good snorkelling, 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. (Snorkelling equipment and kayaks are available for rent, as are jeeps and motorbikes. Windsurfers, para-sailers, scooters and jet skis can be rented from the main drag on Chaweng beach nearby.

Video theater

The video theater with its 61-inch projection screen is available throughout the day for those who can't live without their daily dose of satellite news broadcasts. Meanwhile watching the latest movies with our digital Dolby surround sound system creates the sense of being in a theater without having to leave the premises.

Eats and Drinks

Whether you're a carnivore or a vegetarian, a bon vivant or a teetotaler, you'll 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 don't tone down the flavors to satisfy westernized notions of Thai cuisine.unless, or course, we're  specifically requested to do so. Plus we use only the fresh coconut cream in our curries and cocktails. (With 300 coconut trees on site, why buy the canned stuff?) At the Pakarang  ("coral" in Thai) restaurant, you'll 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.

Amata Spa

 

 

The spa, located next to the swimming pool with its cool interiors and intimate setting, is

an ideal hideaway for a day of pampering and healing. Detox in the only infrared sauna on the island followed by a high pressure jet massage, then bliss out under the gentle care of our well-trained therapists. At the Amataspa, there is no compromise and we take pride in using only the very best natural products to ensure that you fully benefit from each therapy without an allergic reaction. Consult with our Spa Manager, who also happens to be a registered nurse, to decide on a therapy to suit your needs or have a package designed for you. Whatever your choice may be, our aim is to de-stress, detoxify, soothe your aches and pains, rejuvenate and elevate your sense of well-being. Go ahead, make your day!
