Nora Buri Resort & Spa
Big Buddha & Plai Laem · Laundry · $$$$
Hillside beachfront resort with pools, sea-view villas, spa, restaurant, bar, free parking, and buggy service. Best for guests who want a quieter stay near Chaweng and don’t mind ramps, stairs, and a split layout across a busy road.
Is Nora Buri Resort & Spa worth visiting?
Nora Buri Resort & Spa is a hillside beachfront resort that suits couples and families who want pools, sea views, and on-site dining without being right in the middle of Chaweng. Guests consistently mention the infinity pools, private pool villas, and the buggy service that moves people around the steep property. The resort also has free parking, airport shuttle, spa, fitness center, bar, restaurant, and breakfast. One practical catch: it is split across a hill with a busy road in between, so expect ramps, stairs, and cart rides. Reviews are very positive overall, but the layout is not flat or quick to walk.
