INTRODUCTION
Coral Bay Resort is found at Yai Noi Bay, north Chaweng Beach in the northeastern part of Koh Samui. Opposite the resort is Koh Matlang, a little island with an adjacent reef, accessible by a brief long-tail boat ride or by wading across from the resort during low tide.
The resort is ideal for discerning travelers in search of an eco-friendly alternative to the crowded, concrete establishments becoming prevalent in Koh Samui. Here, the environment minimizes the stress of city distractions. The pace is slow and relaxed, enhanced by the natural splendor of a tropical, jungle setting.
With only 53 bungalows spread around 10 acres amidst what is arguably one of the most beautiful, lush and informal gardens on the island, the atmosphere is completely serene and privacy is a assured. Established in 1982, Coral Bay Resort works hard to maintain a balance between progress and nature by providing all the amenities without compromising the island's native charm. All our quaint, native style, thatched-roofed, wood and stone bungalows preserve the original atmosphere of Samui as it was. Surrounded by more than 300 luxuriant coconut trees and fragrant, flowering shrubs, these rustic bungalows provide a high standard of comfort.
Nevertheless, being in paradise does not necessarily mean isolation as shops and the nightlife area are only minutes away, while water sports are available around the corner from the property's quiet bay. The coral reef in the bay offers good snorkeling, fishing and shelling. The abundant flora on the resort provides a sanctuary for many species of birds, butterflies and squirrels.

RESTAURANTS & DINING
Enjoy the sea breeze and sound of lapping waves at the Coco-rock Beach Bar as the sky turns pink just before dusk and sip one of the many exotic cocktails, shaken the old-fashioned way, not stirred. Whether you are a bon vivant or a vegetarian, you will find something to suit you from our extensive food and drink menus.
Dining Outlets
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 300 coconut trees?
At the Pakarang, which means coral in Thai, you never have to feel enclosed even while dining indoors or al fresco on the wooden deck where mynahs and magpie robins sing for their breakfast, surrounded by lush gardens with unmatched views of the pool and the sea.
