Lamai is a beach district on Koh Samui, the island in the Gulf of Thailand that is reached by air or by sea. The area is centred on a long sandy beach, and the streets behind it hold a mix of small hotels, cafés and night stalls. Many visitors combine beach time with temples, waterfalls and rock formations, all within a few kilometres of the resort.

Lamai Beach is 1.9 km from the resort, and Chaweng Noi Beach lies 2.7 km away. Wat Lamai is a temple 1 km away, and the Lamai Sunday Nightmarket, 1.6 km away, is held on Sundays. Further along the coast, the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks are the formations known as Grandma and Grandpa Rocks. Inland, Na Muang Waterfall lies in the island's hills, away from the beach.

A day could combine a swim at Lamai Beach with a visit to the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks, then an evening at the Sunday night market if your visit falls on a Sunday. Samui Airport is 7.7 km away, and the resort offers an airport transfer. The Big Buddha and Fisherman's Village are further away, and they make a longer outing for a full day.
