Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand and is well known for coconut trees and sunny beaches. Small and unique, the island is a stunning place for a luxury holiday. The island is green and lush and filled with tropical waterfalls, forest, coconut trees, Buddhist temples, and small shops. It is located directly south of Bangkok in the Gulf of Thailand and is about a 50 minute flight from Bangkok
Our resort is situated directly on the beach in a secluded cove approximately 1.5 km from Lamai Beach, the second largest beach on Koh Samui, Thailand. The location is private and romantic, with no resorts directly on either side of us, which gives the resort a feeling of privacy and isolation. However, it is only a short ride to the center of Lamai for shopping, restaurants and nightlife.
Rocky’s offers a complimentary shuttle service which operates three times daily to Lamai Beach and once daily to Chaweng Beach

The Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) is an impressive 12 meter high golden Buddha. The airport of Koh Samui is a few kilometers away, so chances are you can see the Big Buddha from the airplane! The Buddha statue was built in 1972 and has the task to protect the people of Koh Samui. The big golden wheel and the dragon were only put on the back of the Buddha much later. The small temple complex of which the Big Buddha is part stands on an island called Fan Island. You reach Fan Island via an approximately 400 meter long bridge from the mainland of Koh Samui. You can see the Buddha from far away and is therefore not to be missed. To be able to see the Big Buddha up close, you will first have to climb 72 steps. The temple is free to visit.

Hin Ta and Hin Yai are the highlights of some fascinating rock formations at the southern end of Lamai Beach on Koh Samui. They’ve been a source of giggles and wonder on the island since they were discovered by the locals many years ago. Known as Grandpa (Ta) and Grandma (Yai), the rocks look, respectively, like male and female genitalia.
