Welcome to Nora Buri Resort & SpaNestled comfortably in the Gulf of Thailand sits the elegant gem of Koh Samui, a small tropical paradise which offers a genuine aura of relaxation. A short flight from Bangkok and you land in the midst of white sand, teal water, vibrant coral reefs and a wealth of coconut trees, all complimented by a slow and simple life. Koh Samui represents the best of Thai island culture, with its biggest challenge being to find a resort that will allow you to make the most of its vistas. But this search is made easy by the recently opened Nora Buri Resort & Spa, with an outlook that will captivate our attention, dilute your problems and offer a true escape from an overzealous world. Located just 3 minutes from the International Airport, Nora Buri is easily accessible. It’s also modern, yet warm and inviting. From the outset you can see it has been designed with integration into the surrounding landscape in mind. It incorporates the greenery, the hilly terrain and a beautiful white sandy beach with ease. Its 144 rooms are configured to ensure diversity, making Nora Buri accessible to a range of budgets. From the simple Garden and Seaview rooms, right up to a masterful Pool Villa Beachfront Seaview, no matter what the occasion, there is a solution. The relaxed feel that engulfs the resort transfers to each of these rooms, with spacious warm tones being enhanced by a cool sea breeze flowing through. The modern comforts are also there, with 32” LCD TV, high speed internet and DVD players at the ready should you need them.Nora Buri personifies both the natural beauty of Koh Samui and the relaxed demeanor of its people. One look at the view experienced at countless vantage points here and your worries are no more. The resort is well conceived, well designed and well executed. It’s a truly magical place from which to explore this delectable gem of an island.•Deluxe Hillside Room 48 rooms•Deluxe Hillside Seaview Room 48 rooms•Pool Villa Hillside Seaview 28 rooms•Pool Villa Beachside 12 rooms•Pool Villa Beachside Seaview 4 rooms•Pool Villa Beachfront Seaview 4 rooms

Hotel is nice. Rooms need to be renovated. Part of the wall in the shower was coming apart. The pillow was way too thick for me and they didn’t have any thinner pillows so I had to stuff a bathrobe in the pillow case to use. The staff are very kind and helpful but many don’t speak much English which can make communication obviously difficult. Wifi was slow. The breakfast buffet had a weird set up for eggs, you have to wait in line to order them which sometimes took a painfully long time. The hot food served at breakfast was cold every single morning we were there. Other than that the food at the restaurant was delicious but definitely very slow service. It’s a nice hotel, but don’t go expecting a true 5 star experience because that’s just simply not what it is. Be aware there are lots of stairs and you will need to ask for a gulf cart ride to your room if you don’t want to do stairs in the heat, but you may have to wait and you will likely still need to do a decent amount of stairs.

This I NOT a 5 star hotel! I don’t even know where to begin. The hotel is very impersonal. The staff does not greet you and if they do it does not seem personal. Nothing is coordinated and only a little bit of the staff members can English so it was difficult to communicate at times. The rooms are big and the space inside is not utilized to its full potential. Especially the shower in the bathroom could use a replacement. Everything felt unclean and uncomfortable in the hotel. The air conditioning was so loud that I didn’t sleep well and the room cleaning was horrible. The breakfast was disgusting and not hygienic. The music so loud that it didn’t feel relaxing during the breakfast. The glasses were not clean in the breakfast neither and the interior seemed worn out in general. They definitely manipulated with the pictures on their website and the beach is full of stones and not swimming friendly. If I knew how this hotel was I would never have booked it! I am very disappointed in this hotel and EVERYTHING could really use an upgrade or a downgrade in the stars.

My family, friends and I had the great pleasure of visiting the Nora Buri Resort & Spa for the buffet lunch during our cruise excursion to Koh Samui, and it was one of the hi- lights of our entire trip. The resort is beautiful, but the food and service was exceptional. We did not know what to expect from a cruise excursion buffet lunch, but this one was truly wonderful...and delicious.

The beachside Villa with the private pool was the best decision for those early swims to wake up and those late night dips to cool off. The inside gym and spa were well used by us. The meals were so tasty and the cocktail went down a treat. The service was fantastic, everyone was lovely and super attentive. Would definitely be coming back in the future.

Beautiful hotel , the pools are great, staff extremely helpful and polite. The restaurants have plenty of choice and the breakfast is amazing - the egg station cooks do a great job. Unfortunately it is a little out of the way, plus the beach is not suitable for swimming. The spa is beautiful with great massage and the gym is alright. Only one shuttle bus a day to Chewang

An amazing stay on a beautiful island. All the staff were so kind and welcoming. My room was made up beautifully everyday by the very polite and friendly housekeeper, Ms. Wan. The views from my balcony were incredible and my room was huge! Loved the choices at breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Brilliant location away from the crowd however only a short ride into the touristy areas (appx A$11). The room was spacious although not lavish which is not a problem as I spent most of my time by the pool. Although there were lots of tourists staying I never failed to find a place by the pool. The breakfasts are great with lots of choice. Dinners at the restaurant by the seaside were very relaxing. Lovely staff and generally a very chilled place. Bed comfortable and the bathroom was huge. My room had a great view of the ocean and the air-conditioning very efficient.
