Dress Code
The restaurant maintains a smart casual dress code to match its upscale ambiance. Guests are encouraged to avoid beachwear, flip-flops, and sportswear. Collared shirts for men and elegant resort wear for women are appropriate. The open-air setting can get breezy in the evenings, so bringing a light wrap or jacket is advisable.
Noise Level
The noise level is generally low and conversational, contributing to the romantic and intimate atmosphere. The spacious layout and natural barriers between tables ensure privacy. The predominant sounds are the gentle waves below and the soft background music, allowing for easy conversation without having to raise your voice.
Bar & Drinks
The restaurant boasts a full bar and an extensive wine list curated to complement the innovative tasting menus. Expert sommeliers are available to provide pairing recommendations. A signature cocktail menu features creative mixes often incorporating local Thai herbs and spirits, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Kid Friendly
While children are welcome, the restaurant's sophisticated ambiance and fine dining focus make it more suitable for older children who can appreciate the experience. The multi-level deck layout and cliffside location require constant supervision of younger children. High chairs are available, but the lengthy tasting menus may not hold the attention of very young diners.
Pet Friendly
Pets are not permitted in the restaurant dining areas due to the open-air nature of the establishment and its fine dining setting. Service animals are welcome with prior notification to accommodate both the guest's needs and the comfort of other diners in the intimate setting.
Events & Live Music
Dining on the Rocks focuses on providing an exceptional culinary experience rather than hosting regular live music or events. The main event is the spectacular sunset, which the restaurant's design is perfectly oriented to showcase. Special culinary events or guest chef collaborations may be announced seasonally through the Six Senses resort.
Typical Wait Times
Reservations are essential and often need to be made well in advance, particularly for sunset time slots which are the most sought-after. Walk-in availability is extremely rare. Due to the multi-course tasting menu format, guests should anticipate a dining experience that lasts approximately two to three hours.
Getting There
The restaurant is located within the Six Senses Samui resort in Bophut. Taxis or private transfers are the most common way to arrive. The resort provides complimentary shuttle service from its main entrance to the restaurant for guests. The venue is wheelchair accessible with ramps and accessible restrooms, though the multi-level deck layout may present some challenges.
Sustainability
As part of the Six Senses brand, the restaurant emphasizes sustainability. This includes sourcing organic produce from the resort's own garden where possible, implementing comprehensive recycling and composting programs, and minimizing single-use plastics. The menu often highlights locally and responsibly sourced seafood and ingredients.
Policies
A confirmed reservation is required for dining, and a credit card may be requested to secure the booking, especially during peak seasons. Cancellations require at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a fee. The restaurant caters primarily to adults, and while children are welcome, the experience is tailored for a mature audience. The tasting menu is the featured offering.
