Rocky’s Resort in Koh Samui

A dream destination with an authentically Thai spirit

At the heart of Koh Samui’s stunning southeast coast, Rocky’s Boutique Resort in Lamai offers a magical and authentically Thai experience overlooking the bay. Lush tropical gardens, two relaxing swimming pools, and direct access to a secluded beach create a wonderfully immersive tropical atmosphere, where professional staff and comfortably furnished rooms let you feel right at home. Guests can enjoy easygoing island life at its finest, from cultural tours and fishing trips, to the resort’s own fine cuisine and open-air beachside bar.

Rocky’s embrace of nature and its deep red aesthetic give the property a distinctive look and feel, suggesting entry into a world of warmth and passion. This inventive design blends seamlessly into the Thai architecture and décor at the resort, which in turn borrows key textural elements from all regions of the country. Such a unique synthesis of visual themes creates an original environment that excites the imagination.

Yet the most remarkable stylistic features are the natural rocks that give the resort its name. The large boulders along the coast create a natural wall that neatly separates Rocky’s own beach areas from the public beaches nearby, creating three sandy, semi-private beaches for guests to enjoy comfortably. Indeed, the layout of the resort makes perfect use of the natural rocks and boulders found on location, some of which have inspired local legends and folktales. The rocks also create a striking visual effect that is put to excellent use at special events. They create a
unique backdrop to weddings, and to every unforgettable dinner under the stars – helping to make Rocky’s the premier location on Koh Samui for special wedding and anniversary parties, as well as romantic dinners on the shore.

Guests at Rocky’s will enjoy easy access to these natural highlights, as well as the other attractions around the island, while settling effortlessly into the comfortable pace of relaxed holiday living within the resort.

Guest Experience

Upon arrival at Rocky’s, guests receive a cool welcome drink of freshly blended passionfruit juice together with a friendly introduction to the Rocky’s community. They are soon free to explore the
spacious pool area and beaches, or relax in the comforts of their room or suite.

Guests who like to remain active will always find plenty to enjoy. Special events take place nearly every evening, including restaurant specials, live music, cooking classes, and a beach party with fire dancing. Island, snorkeling, and fishing trips are also available daily, using Rocky’s own traditional Thai longtail boat for a relaxed sightseeing experience. Terrific tours of Koh Samui can introduce guests to a nearby group of monkeys that climb trees for coconuts, as well as the island’s distinctive Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, Lamai and Chaweng Beaches, night markets, several culturally diverse temples (including a visit to a genuine mummified monk), and a look at a special Buddha statue made with a donation from Rocky’s Resort.

Even with the huge variety of attractions to discover on Koh Samui, often the best way to spend the day is by relaxing in the immaculately furnished guest rooms, while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the resort. Decorated with natural elements as well as design features influenced from cultures around Thailand, each room provides a welcome space for rest and tranquility.

Guests in the pool areas can lie back with a refreshing drink as they sunbathe, or cool off in the calm waters at their leisure. There are other charming areas to explore as well, including the in-house café, library and games room. Staff at Rocky’s make a special tour around the entire property twice a day, greeting guests and offering complimentary fruit skewers for their enjoyment.
As a boutique resort, Rocky’s maintains a friendly atmosphere in the heart of tropical Thailand. Its Thai aesthetic and locally sourced cuisine lets guests feel right at home, while the open layout and frequent social events create a genuine sense of community for everyone to share. The resort also celebrates local events and festivals, where guests can form a real connection with each other and with the rhythms of the island.

Through it all, one memory stays in the minds of guests at Rocky’s Resort: The sincere and welcoming smiles from its staff. Guests at Rocky’s stay longer, and come back again year after year, because they know they will always be treated like family. With its deep commitment to quality service and to the wider Thai community, Rocky’s Resort provides a perfect getaway – where traditional comforts and distinctive design combine to create a fascinating and culturally rich experience.
