Rocky’s Boutique Resort Koh Samui – a Veranda Collection
Koh Samui, Thailand
Description
What makes this boutique hotel special is its location on the rocks by the sea, which surround a small bay with a sandy beach. The quiet, modern décor of the rooms with Thai accents and the paradisiacal design of the hotel create the atmosphere of a peaceful oasis. Unsurprisingly, this place is particularly popular with couples for a romantic holiday for two.
Location
The hotel is located in the south of Koh Samui Island, about 1.5 km from Lamai Beach, the largest beach on the island. A free shuttle takes guests there three times a day. The resort is situated directly on the beach with unparalleled views of the Gulf of Thailand and is only a short walk from Lamai town centre. Daily you can watch the traditional fishing boats leaving or returning home with their catch.
The drive to the airport takes about half an hour.
From the outside, the hotel buildings look like traditional temples, but from the inside they are elegant, modern and designed in light colours. The large windows also provide plenty of light and a pleasant atmosphere. The recently renovated rooms and villas are equipped with a double bed and have either a balcony or a terrace.
8 Deluxe Garden View Rooms (35 m²)
The rooms are beautifully furnished with views of lush tropical gardens. The rooms have convenient access to all resort facilities and are only 30 metres from the beach. They are perfect for couples travelling alone or families with young children.

These rooms are the Rocky’s newest addition. The sixteen stunning rooms have direct access to the garden pool. Perfect for couples or small families, these new rooms are spacious and inviting.
14 Premier Ocean View Rooms (42-55 m²).
These rooms are designed in the same style as the popular Premier Beachfront Rooms with Plunge Pool. Some rooms are higher up the hill for more privacy.

The Dining Room
Dine outside on the rocks by the sea or in the open-air dining room. The exceptional chef and his team create a wonderful cross-over of Mediterranean and French cuisine.
The Bistro
The restaurant features an outdoor show kitchen with a state-of-the-art imported Italian oven and grill. It is elegant and casual with a modern Thai ambience.
Pool Bar
Located between the pool and the sea on the rocks, this is the place to enjoy refreshing cocktails and more.
Whether it’s an active or relaxed holiday, there is always something to experience here. The offers range from cooking classes and stand-up paddling to relaxing massages in the spa. Especially popular with couples is the romantic breakfast or dinner for two on the rocks or on the beach. Guests who would like to explore the surrounding area can take the Josephine boat trips, use the free shuttle to Lamai or go out to the nearby local restaurants.
The Rocky’ is committed to supporting local sustainability projects and strives to make a difference within the day-to-day operations of the hotel.
It supports the island’s Low Carbon School Project. This includes not only the financial support of a local school, but also learning sessions for the students with the Rocky’s staff. For example, they are taught how to grow their own herbs and vegetables.
Another project that is supported involves donating leftover food (meat, bread and rice) to a rescue centre for stray dogs.
Not only “on their own doorstep”, but all over the island, employees volunteer to clean up the gorgeous sandy beaches to preserve their natural beauty.
Within the hotel, some food is planted for the hotel’s own use. Food leftovers and biological waste are also brought back into the cycle in the form of a home-made fertiliser. Water is also not to be wasted, but best reused, which is done by collecting and recycling the waste water.
