Lamai Beach is second in size only to Chaweng Beach and is considered the cleanest and most beautiful of Samui's beaches. Against the backdrop of golden sand and the clear, deep sea, ancient granite rocks look especially striking. It is on Lamai, in the southern part of the beach, that the famous "Grandmother" and "Grandfather" rocks are located, their outlines resembling male and female sexual organs.
Huge granite boulders, smoothed by thousands of tides and shaped by sea winds, look incredibly picturesque, which is why the rocky ridge next to these symbols of fertility is very popular with tourists.
Moreover, people believe that these symbols have mystical power, and there is even talk that "Grandmother" and "Grandfather" can help with sexual problems or with conceiving a child.
In the north of Lamai, there is beauty of a different kind: lush jungle spreads out there, surrounding a quiet bay that is shielded from the forces of nature by a rocky cape. A very calm and fairly secluded place for lazy and pleasant beach relaxation.
The central part of the beach is livelier, with many cafes, bars, and small shops. In the Lamui area, you can find several spa salons where you will be offered Thai massage, mud masks, and traditional cosmetic treatments.
