Bang Por Holiday Villas Koh Samui | Thailand
About the area
Bang Por Beach is located on the northwest corner of Koh Samui, between Nathon and Maenam. The beach is four kilometers long and faces to the north with views of Koh Phangan. The waters are calm in this area of Koh Samui and the beach is very clean. Palm trees line the edge. Bang Por has attracted more attention recently as The Four Seasons, now owned by Bill Gates, has just opened a resort, the finest on the island, making the most of the ideal surroundings. The views are very picturesque – that’s clear as soon as you arrive. The bay looks out over Koh Phangnan, Samui’s little sister, and is secluded by natural rock formations at either end. The sand is soft and white and the sea, churned by gentle winds, keeps the soft waves rolling to pleasantly audible effect. The warm waters are great for swimming, and there are shallow coral reefs which are great for snorkeling. The breeze also makes this one of the best locations for sailing all year round. Bang Por is developing more of a community feel these days as an increasing numbers of international visitors choose to permanently set up home here. Mind Your Language, the island’s only teachers of Thai language, have recently set up a branch here. There are a number of emerging health centres for people who want to invest their time in intensive programs of detox and holistic healing, and the location is also home to one of Samui’s finest schools. Bang Por is right by the sea and so provides an array of well served restaurants, providing fresh fish daily, cooked in a variety of styles. You’ll see the catches being brought in each day and the chefs choosing the prime choices for that day’s cooking. Guests can always ask for their fish to be cooked in a certain way, so don’t feel restricted by the menu. Bang Por Seafood is a well known local Thai restaurant, located on Bang Por beach. Bang Por Seafood with coconut terrace at beachfront offers local style cuisine, authentic Thai food and seafood varieties.Bang Por
