New to this haven is the Nora Beach Resort and Spa. Nora may be new but its friendly service and unique atmosphere is backed by hundreds of years of Thai hospitality. Nora is named after the traditional dance of southern Thailand. It is hoped that the resort's service and relaxed ambience will emulate the grace and charm of this ancient art.

The resort enjoys a spectacular hillside setting, overlooking a secluded bay just north of the world-famous Chaweng Beach. Although only a few minutes from the island's picturesque airport and a short drive from central Chaweng, Nora retains a feeling of seclusion within its own lush gardens.
