The perfect place to come home to yourself I have been a number of times to Samahita over the years and each time I feel like it is my own spiritual retreat and inner home-coming. I feel the love and consciousness that is embedded into every single detail. The food is creative and delicious. The space is peaceful and beautiful. The vibe relaxed. The outdoor showers a delight. The rooms simple yet comfortable. The massages phenomenal and the treatments well thought through plus the cheeky receptionists - all combine to create a truly nourishing experience. All the teachers are welcoming, devoted and excellent in their knowledge and guidance and meet you exactly where you are - nudging and grounding you further in your practise. I was on a journey to come back home to myself and I cannot express my gratitude to everyone I have met there. Paul for his vision and precision in execution and devotion to excellence. Daniel for mastery and discipline and challenging me to grow. Jack for showing me that pain can be surmounted and one small ball can transform my hips. Walks on the beach, swimming in the moonlight and meditations at sunset all contribute to the spiritual healing that is available here. The art therapist Alaitz who helped me realise how far I had come in creating space for myself and realising I was already home. And Gil - yoga teacher extraordinaire - now my dear friend. Words cannot be found to describe the feeling of beauty, love and truth that she brings - her depth of knowledge, warmth, silky teaching skills and playful sense of humour always bring such peace to my heart and re-assurance to my practise and my being. Just thinking of her warms my soul. Since my first trip to Samahita in 2019 I have been inspired to make yoga a regular practise - especially when the chips are down as it centres and grounds me. A part of me is always longing to return to Samahita - yet it remains present and alive in heart. I would go as far as to say - Samahita changed my life.

Meditate, yoga, eat, relax, repeat Was here for 4 nights for the yogacorecycle programme. The resort is beautiful. I stayed in the exhale garden room which was comfortably spacious for a solo traveller. The meals are meat-free but they have fish dishes for dinner. I learned too late there is a cookbook so didn’t get to buy it 🥹 (the quinoa pancakes are amazing!!!) Loved the complimentary herbal steam room available every evening and the pool right beside is perfect for a dip to cool off. The meditation and yoga classes are accessible, especially for those new to the practice. The shala by the beach is free to use outside lesson times for your own practice as needed. Fitness classes incorporating a bit of spin are a nice contrast from the slow restorative yoga right after it. I do like my yoga practice a bit stronger but this was a good pause to get back to basics. Really enjoyed my experience here and hope to be back again!

Retreat Stay We went to Samahita to hold our own yoga Retreat with a group of ladies from Australia. From the very first moment in the booking process up until our stay and the end of our stay, the process was seamless. We really enjoyed our time and all the staff were so helpful. A real highlight for us was the beautiful healthy food, I believe almost all of our guests including myself bought the cookbook to take home! Another standout was the serenity on the beach, we actually felt so relaxed upon leaving instead of needing a holiday after the holiday! We are already booked to go back in 2025 and looking forward to it!

It’s a wonderful wellness and yoga retreat and caters for everyone. Amazing yoga teacher training! Samahita is a gem of a place! I had a fantastic and memorable time there. Left feeling refreshed and awake! The wonders of yoga is eclipsed at Samahita, it has so much to offer and the staff and teachers go that extra mile to make it what it is …

Beautiful haven A real haven on Koh samui with very knowledgeable teachers and amazing staff. Perfect place to recharge, practice yoga, eat delicious healthy food, and meet interesting people. The place is beautiful and accommodations are comfortable, clean with a modern minimalist design.

A heavenly escape. If you want a quiet, healthy retreat away from the busyness of a rapidly developing tropical island, then Samahita is for you. Our small group consisted of regular yoga fiends, those who have done yoga teacher training, and beginners…and we all loved it. Half the group were returnees, half were newbies, and we all felt fulfilled, well cared for, centred, well fed and super happy we came. Highly recommend for those wishing to try a yoga retreat for the first time, return to one, try teacher training, or just enjoy a quiet retreat with wonderful food and a great mix of active and passive time. Thanks for having us!

A truly unique hospitality experience I’ve never been compelled to write an accomodation review but this place is a bit more than just accomodation. It’s an experience. It’s a resort with a wellness element or a wellness retreat with a resort vibe (take your pick) with a schedule to tap into but enough time to explore the island or just laze by the pool and it’s not intimidating if you’ve never done this sort of thing before. It really strikes the perfect balance between the two in a non judgemental, approachable way. Not an easy task I imagine. I have a bad back and as good as the beds were (I didn’t hear anyone else complaining) they swiftly helped me out with a mattress topper which saved the day and my back allowing me to fully enjoy what was on offer. Incredible guys. Thanks a Mill!

Nourishing stay with the essence of Samui A very friendly community built with friendly supportive staff and environment. The place is newly furnished, clean and close to all facilities like yoga practice spaces, pools, dining areas, beach front. It has been a very nourishing stay. Will be coming back!

Wonderful space to visit, relax, and grow! I and my wife attended the Yoga Teacher Training and had an amazing time. The setting was beautiful, we felt really well taken care of, met some wonderful people, had amazing food, and learnt a lot! We will definitely visit Samahita every chance we get in the future. Definitely recommend you to find the time to stay in this wonderful space while you are in Koh Samui.

Yogaretreat In den 7 Tage habe ich mich super erholt und neue Energie gewonnen. Das ganze Team ist fantastisch und super hilfsbereit!Die Yoga und Fitnesstunden haben sehr viel Spass gemacht und ich hätte noch länger bleiben können. Würde jederzeit wieder ins Reatreat zurückkehren.

A wonderful 5 day destressing and detoxing A wonderful first time at the retreat which has a great vibe and super friendly people. No stress in doing any of the classes which are well structured. Food is wholesome, varied and so delicious. It does get very hot during this time of year so bring extra clothes or use their laundry service. Wish I had booked a longer stay !

Samahita was the perfect centre to host my first Yoga and Ayurveda retreat in Koh Samui. Samahita was the perfect centre to host my first Yoga and Ayurveda retreat in Koh Samui. Set on the beach in a quieter part of the island, it offers a choice of accommodation to suit different budgets, delicious freshly prepared food, a spacious Yoga shala in which to practise and the most attentive and helpful of staff. I couldn't recommend it more highly and looking forward to returning with another group very soon.

Ideal Haven of Peace for Yoga, Fitness, Welness in a perfect location Samahita is a unique retreat center in Koh Samui and a gem of a place. It combines an excellent location, great rooms (some directly on the beach), healthy and tasty food and from my perspective the best yoga in Thailand. I was warmly welcomed by the incredibly friendly and competent staff and spent two restorative weeks filled with meditation, breathing, yoga, swimming. I was also able to take advantage of the various wellness treatments. I highly recommend this fabulous property which is superbly managed and where one can both isolate and/or socialize, develop one's yoga/fitness/breathing practice, and enjoy the beautiful facilities (two pools, various saunas, superb massages etc). A big thank you to the Samahita family for making me feel at home in your magic property.

Will come back! This is an amazing retreat. The staff is nice, the rooms are good, the beach and the pool are great!! There are towels for you everywhere, bathrooms en showers, they have thought of everything. The classes are good too, instructors were nice and good to follow, even if you have no experience like me. Loved it and will certainly come back in the future!

Slow down at Samahita An incredible place to stay, Samahita was a recommendation from a work colleague and it did not disappoint. There was a little confusion settling in (knowing when meals and snacks were served), but by the end of the first day, we had easily settled into a routine of yoga, meditation, fitness class, healthy meals and time away from our phones and computers. A special thanks to Gill who really helped my partner feel more at ease with yoga. We stayed for 3 days, but strongly recommend staying for 7. We had a hard time leaving after such a short period and felt that 7 days would really be an optimal amount of time at the retreat (or even 10 days!).

An Amazing Experience! Please know what an amazing experience that my husband and I enjoyed while at Samahita Retreat for 2 weeks this past March. The yoga teachers were inspiring and we gained some great insights - our thanks especially to Gill, Daniel and Kirsten. It was just the refresh that my practice needed! The temple walk with So was enlightening thanks to the wisdom he so generously and humbly shared. The view at the top was indeed awesome, though the steep climb did challenge us - both on the way up and down! And the food! The kitchen staff are truly artists creating delicious meals that varied over our entire stay. We have never felt healthier! Kudos to the hardworking staff. The diligent housekeeping staff and the friendly front of house team also deserve praise for ensuring that everything operates so smoothly. We hope we will have the opportunity to return again. With deep appreciation from Kathy and Stan

Wonderful, peaceful reset Fantastic place for a yoga and fitness retreat and a mental reset. Super friendly staff, kind and professional instructors, delicious and healthy food, spacious and comfortable rooms, all in a beautiful setting. We would definitely return

Relaxed atmosphere, great teachers and so peaceful and quiet! Went here for 10 days (and I’m at Vikasa now, can already tell that Samahita is the better option for my liking!), and my shoulders dropped during the first day. The atmosphere is relaxed, everyone greets each other (without meaning you have to chat, unless you’d like to), and there is plenty of space to just hang out - alone or together. Samahita attracts decent and nice people it seems, in all ages (the youngest in his early twenties and the eldest in his seventees). No influencers (and if there were any, they weren’t filming and photographing in classes. I find that disturbing here at Vikasa). I stayed in a beachview villa, and is was very nice, with a lot of space for clothes and other stuff. Had three massages, all with Jaebsi - she is a very skilled therapist, highly recommended! Food on buffet is homemade and fresh, and the chai tea was sooo good! Spicy and rich! In the Yoga and meditation classes, you can adjust everything to your level. Something that was nice for me as a rookie. Staff is very pleasent and helpful. The location of Samahita is so peaceful and quiet. No noise from roads, airplanes or powergenerators (all of the mentioned make plenty of noise at Vikasa). Why am I mentioning Vikasa in my review of Samahita? Because it seems they are competitors regarding pricerange, services offered and crowds they cater to. I would have liked a review like this when I booked my holiday. And needless to say, I would have spent all my time at Samahita, instead of sharing my time between the two resorts.
