It is located right in the middle of famous Chaweng street. It is a nice mall. There is something for everyone. There are individual shops and the biggest branded one was H&M. It is also children friendly. They have made a nice garden in the centre which was very well lighted.
Worth visiting...Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was very windy while we were there so we didn't go swimming in the water but wandering up the beach was pleasant.
I will say that the hackers that walk up and down the beach can be a bit pushy though, we had the same person pass us a few times & each time they tried to sell us something we didn't want or need.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful and clean beach, not busy at all. Very relaxing and with possibilities to find a shadow under a coconut tree.Written August 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots if stairs and wonky steps to clamber over.Written August 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BalkrishnaShroffMumbai, India20,926 contributionsIt is located at southern Lamai Beach. It is also popularly known as Grandfather and Grandmother rocks due to its unique formation which looks like male and female organs. It's very picturesque and visitors love to click a lot of pictures on these amazing rocks. The beach is quite small. There are quite a few souvenir shops nearby. We loved eating here coconut ice cream served in a half broken coconut at a stall.Written March 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JPJEast Malling, UK13 contributionsGreat beach for those based further down from Chaweng in Chaweng Noi.
Lovely sand and great beach bars / restaurants. Other beaches were not exactly packed when we were here but Chaweng Noi was particularly quiet.
Better than Lamai beach by far although not as much going on. If you like the quieter feel (and no driving baselines you get on other beaches) this may be the one for you.
Facing the see, very pretty. Facing the land, can be a little ‘messy’ and ‘concretey’ for Euro tastes. Same most places on Koh Samui though.
(Bit of a trek from Chaweng beach along the road without pavement, and not much to gain from doing so, so wouldn’t bother if you aren’t in Chaweng Noi to begin with.)Written April 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
