Lamai Beach - Koh Samui

Everything You Need to Know About Lamai Beach

Lamai Beach is Samui's Second largest resort area after Chaweng. It is quieter and less bustling than its big sister, but still with plenty of accommodation, dining and shopping options to be found, and some great spas and tourist sites to explore. In terms of popularity, the tourist facilities and the quality of the beach itself, Lamai comes a close second to Chaweng, but with a less frenetic ambience.

The general atmosphere is laid back and Lamai has slightly older, and by extention cheaper tourist facilities than Chaweng, although there is some indication that the area is slowly being rejuvenated. Along with the rest of Samui, there is a steady trend away from the 'cheap and cheerful' toward smarter, high-end accommodation and dining facilities and new resorts in Lamai such as The Pavillion, The Renaissance and Lamai Wanta bear testament to this upgrade.

Lamai Beach Hotels

Lamai is Samui's second most busy nightspot and is a fun place to be as it is slightly more laid back and chilled out than its raucous neighbour. Accommodation choices range from backpacker beach huts to more upbeat resorts such as Silvadee Pool Spa Resort and Rocky Resort, along with equally up-market Pavilion Samui Boutique Resort. The area has grown a lot in recent years but there's still a village atmosphere and, more than anything, a fun-loving vibe.

The Kala Resort Review

The Kala's slogan is 'Where Time Stands Still' and it certainly has done so for the hundreds of beautifully preserved French-Colonial Cambodian antiques and fittings distributed throughout this 38-room-and-villa boutique hillside resort. The Kala looks out over the Gulf of Thailand, affording sea views to all accommodations. (Read more...)

Some of the island's most popular tourist sites are located in this locality, such as Hinta HinYai and Wat Khunaram, so if you can drag yourself off the beach, you could easily fill a couple of days exploring the area.
