Coral Restoration and Marine Life Initiative

“Save Nakalay Reef” is the first privately-funded natural reef coral restoration joint collaboration with the Department of Marine and Coastal resources (DMCR) in Phuket and our sister resort Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa.

Our proud coral conservation accomplishments:

  • We are Phuket’s FIRST to restore, preserve, and grow natural coral reefs in Nakalay Bay
  • We are Phuket’s FIRST to establish a coral learning centre and nursery
  • We recover broken corals and rehabitilate them in our nurseries during monsoon season
  • We actively install coral artificial frame structures for broken corals to safely stabilize
  • We grow broken corals on natural reefs in not just Nakalay Bay, but all over Phuket (Maithon, Racha Island, Koh Yao, etc.)
  • We volunteer to beaches all over Phuket to clean up washed garbage and wastes
  • Learn more about our initiative on our official website
