Dining on the Rocks

Top choice in Ko Samui


At the isolated Six Senses Samui, the island's ultimate fusion dining experience takes place on nine cantilevered verandas yawning over the gulf. After sunset (and wine), guests feel like they’re dining on a barge set adrift on a starlit sea. Each dish on the set menu is the brainchild of cooks experimenting with taste, texture and temperature.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion, for an added cost you can book (well in advance) the 'honeymooners’ table positioned on a private terrace with stunning panoramic views. A vegan menu can be found among the set menus.
