The old
Cherating Village has a blend of the modern and
traditional. A stretch of road about 1km long runs
parallel to the beach, dotted with charming and
comfortable chalets, many of which face the beach front.
Cherating has the perfect combination of great surf, a
wide stretch of white-sandy beach, a wealth of
accommodation, dining choices and a classic surfers'
nightlife scene. Surfers linger for days and even months
in this small enclave to catch the best waves and chill
out with fellow surfers, exchanging the day's conquests
at one of the chic bistros or bars.
In fact,
"Surfers' Haven" has long been the description of old
Cherating Village since the 70's. Each year, surfers
from around the world return to Cherating to test out
the surf and catch up with local acquaintances.
Cherating beach is immaculate and breath-taking. So much
so that Club Med decided to build its first Asian base
right here. And surfers take the opportunity to have
local friends take them through some of the most
charming rural villages along the coast and soak in the
gorgeous scenery along the way. |
