Lamai beach

The second popular beach in Samui is Lamai Beach. It is a quieter, looser, and a little cheaper than Chaweng Beach. There is something distinctly boom-town about the main strip, which is generally referred to as Lamai Gulch, with its bars, diners and shops crammed together along the roadside and down the dusty side lanes. Ride or walk to the back of the beach road and you're in the heart of banana groves and coconut plantations, and you can take a mountain bike ride up the hill tracks and into the rugged interior... Or follow the road down past the headland where the infamous Grandfather and Grandmother's rocks attract picnic people.

Lamai beach has an abundance of suitable accommodation options close to the beach that include private resorts and affordable hotels and resorts for budget minded family holidays.

The Montra hotel is recommended four star resort located away from hustle and bustle of the beach with beautiful villa style accommodation that will appeal to people wanting to get away from it all.  The Aloha Resort is a three star resort style hotel that caters well for family vacations and won’t break the budget.  The Golden Sand Beach Resort also provides great value with nice rooms from approximately $55 per night.

Wherever you eventually decide to stay, Lamai beach is hard to beat for a great vacation in Koh Samui.
