  I took a 5-day Self Care Program at Samahita Retreat and it turned out to be one of the best holidays I have ever had!

The retreat is just... read more right next to a beautiful beach so it is very relaxing. They have a great infrared sauna, steam sauna and a lovely pool.

Oh the food, you will never have enough of it;)!

And most importantly, the staff at Samahita is truly caring, friendly and wonderful.

The staff at the reception(thanks Fong and Fon!) is exceptionally helpful, and always do extra miles to make sure you are well taken care of; and my therapist, Neena(10 stars), is super sweet and her massage is one of the best massages I have ever had!! On my birthday(yes this was my bday trip), the entire staff even surprised me with a delicious chocolate cake!

I love their yoga classes too! Thanks Gill, Daniel and Ara so much for your teaching, I had loads of fun in your classes:)!!

Can't wait to come back again soon! More

  I had a wonderful 10-day stay: excellent yoga teacher team, absolutely friendly and professional staff, comfortable accommodation, healthy food, beautiful practice of yoga, breath work, meditation just by the beach... read more and lovely group of guests. Highly recommended! I will definitely come back

  Great retreat for couples and solo travellers. We only stayed 3 days but would have stayed more if time permitted. Food was excellent. Location was amazing. Staff were knowledgable and... read more accommodating.
Highly recommend :-)

  Samahita is a beautiful place with eye for detail in every aspect: the setting, interior decoration, the yoga shala's, the delicious and healthy food and the amazing staff and knowledgeable... read more teachers. The retreat I recently had felt truly nourishing.

  Unique spot on Samui beach. Beautiful setting for the main yoga shala.
The yoga teachers are attentive and devoted.
Paul, Daniel and Gill all run excellent classes.
I would summarize... read more the theme is pranayama and teaching students to understand breathing and how to use it towards your yoga practice and general movement.

The food (pescatarian) was unbelievably delicious.
Each portion is made from scratch!
I would say there is too much food! I ate three meals each day even though i didn't want to but i couldn't control myself :(

  Samahita is little paradise on the Earth:) Yoga and meditation sessions are led by great teachers and some are practiced in the fresh air, just next to the beach. Walk... read more along the beach in the morning or before sunset is amazing. Food is delicious, staff friendly, people nice and interesting. All in all, can’t be better:)

  Samahita is my new favourite place, I’m so happy to have discovered it and I will definitely be back there as soon as I can get away from London again.... read more Where to start The first people I met were the receptionists who were SO efficient with the booking process and everything beyond. They are extremely friendly and I knew I was in a beautiful place full of love even upon arriving in the reception! The room was everything I needed: very clean, very comfortable bed, great air conditioning, powerful shower, little fridge, large wardrobe. The whole place is very quiet and peaceful. I slept so well. The next thing to mention is the chef: I wished him could take her home with me!! She made THE most delicious healthy food. Plates of vegetables were prepared in the most heavenly way, and there was always fish on offer at dinner. As someone who has quite unhealthy eating habits, I thought I was going to crave junk, but I didn’t at all because everything tasted so, so good. Then most importantly. I come to the movement of the body. I was on the YogaCoreCycle programme, which means you can participate in as many or as little classes as you like every day. The classes happen in the most beautiful spot right on the beach almost IN the ocean, the breeze and the waves absolutely beautiful on the skin. I did yoga at 8am, with either Daniel or Gill leading, whose teaching was very loving and skilled. The people in the class were a complete mix of people of all ages and shapes and sizes, some who had never practiced any yoga before, and some with an ashtanga practice. Daniel and Gill managed to guide classes in a way that helped everyone. Personally I have practiced a fair amount with teachers taught my Pattabhi Jois, but I had stopped and not really come to the mat in about a year. I don’t know exactly what the style of asana practice taught on the yogacorecycle programme is called, but it was clear that the teachers had a deep knowledge of the ashtanga practice and I found this holding but it doesn’t matter what it is called I just felt very amazing after every morning session, and ready to sit in a meditation. In the afternoons there is a fitness class, ranging from spin cycling looking out to the sea, to core and body weight exercises. Led by Daniel or So, whose energy was beautiful too. Then a restorative yoga class every evening before dinner. After just four days of these classes and beautiful food and being by the ocean, I felt totally renewed and reset. I was there alone, which I recommend. But there were lots of couples, one with baby :)

  We spent a week with our baby (6 months) at the Retreat and had an amazing time! It was like beeing with family, well, maybe better ;). The staff is... read more so kind, the food is really great, always fresh and healthy, the sessions are perfect, even for beginners like me. Also the guests at the retreat are inspiring people.

All together it was wonderful experience.

Thanks to all the staff which was so kind, especially to our little Baby. We hope to see all again soon.

  You won’t find anything like this. Visiting Samahita regularly since 2003, i am a real junkie. Everything about it is so special and unique- starting from the tranquil atmosphere, amazing... read more food, high end rooms and very very kind staff.
Can’t wait for my next visit there.

  Samahita Retreat reopened on Dec. 1, 2021 after 20 months of hibernation due to Covid.

I was the first and only guest for a week there and was... read more treated like a Queen. The whole Samahita Team was utterly helpful und so very kind, always with a smile in there faces (even visible with a face mask).

I enjoyed Meditation, Breathwork, Yoga, Core Strength and Cycle classes throughout each day and had the full Attention of all the Teachers who are extremely knowledgable.

Other than that I experienced wonderful Massages, detoxed in the Infrared Sauna, the Steam Room and even floated in a Saltwater Pod, which was an outstanding experience.

The food offered is freshly prepared, healthy and beautifully decorated. This is where the eye meets the stomach right away.

Well, and then there is the Pool, the Beach and the Ocean with all the amazing Surroundings and Sounds that Nature has to offer. The Sounds of the Birds, the Wind, the Sea and even the Rain, which comes in short and warm showers during the rainy season.

So, if you are looking for a Time-Out that nourishes your Body, Mind, Heart and Soul in an amazing Environment, then don’t look any further because Samahita Retreat is the place to go. A true Sanctuary!

For me, it has been and still is, my little Paradise.

  Nice small quiet paradise where if you looking for something else than just chilling in the beach... this is it.

Went in mid April with perfect weather hot... read more enough to want to get into the Thailand beach but with nice cool breeze in the afternoons/evenings.

We took the YogaCoreCycle programme which we enjoyed very much. Good balance between cardio, strengthening and yoga. The facilites very nice specially the Beach Shala where was awesome to do

The place is small, but has all you need.

The food which is part of the package is healthy and pretty good.

Beach has of course the white sands of Thailand and oyu can go into the sea for several meters with water at hip level.

Lovely place to retreat and chill More

  We enjoyed 2 weeks of relaxation in a very peaceful environment.
We started with 8 days of detox. The information and support from the team were really perfect. The menu,... read more although it was a detox program, was fresh and tasteful.
The core and cycle training were perfect to get rid of the remaining toxins. Yoga and meditation were really helpful.
After the detox, we enjoyed the total care program with sauna and massage on top of the core and cycle training and for sure the yoga and meditation part.
The trainers were really excellent and motivating.
The food was really tasteful and the chef was doing a really great job!
If you are looking for a peaceful oasis disconnected from our crazy world, just go there, relax and enjoy the sound of silence!

  For the third time we had a wonderful, relaxed, active and happy time at Samahita! It’s the combination of all this that makes Samahita so unique. And that’s why we... read more will come next year!
Thank you Samahita for taking care after my little accident! Not of your fault I had to go to hospital three times, and you paid the taxi everytime! That’s not normal service, but real hospitality!
See you next year!!!

Such a beautiful location! Nature is fantastic, best yoga with the sea view ever! healthy food, very good spa and massage. I am pretty lazy with sport and the purpose of this retreat was to energise myself and let the new healthy habits to be born.
It has been achieved and after 7 days I could see a great result, that I brought back with me and so far there is no day without yoga.
People. They became a family .Teachers knowledgable and very helpful. They shared best practises. I met friends who will be forever. I left this place with a gratitude that i have met them, I have learnt from each of them. And that what makes this place great - people. Thank you to all of you.

  spent 5 nights at Vikasa Yoga Retreat, before moving to Samahita retreat to join my yoga group for 4 nights there. We did not participate in Samahita’s yogacorecycle classes,... read more so I will not comment there.
However, after experiencing the healthy, almost-vegan but absolutely, so very delicious and grnerous food at Vikasa, the food game at Samahita was a major disappointment. Healthy food does not have to be tasteless, or bland, or unimaginative, as proven by Vikasa. Samahita needs to up their culinary game, in my opinion.
Also, after observeing the PR officer standing at the buffet table to wipe up non-existant mess after each guest help themselves to food, is off putting and frankly, quite rude of her. Was it her intention to shame or make your guest embarrassed? Not good guest relation skills at all. Please do better. Paying guest do not like to be treated like misbehaving kids.

  2019 was a tough year - lots of personal life transitions and not enough time to really process it all at the time - a break was needed. ... read more On the recommendation of a colleague I decided to go to Samahita instead of something closer to home and am very glad I did. I needed time to myself, time to refresh, recharge and renew and found all those things here. I also made a few friends along the way. I took the YogaCoreCycle program and it was a great value.

Despite the distance and longer flight - this was all together much more affordable than alternatives I considered in the US, Mexico and Caribbean.

The facilities are very nice - clean, comfortable, bright and modern feeling. The yoga and breathing classes are excellent. Spinning is spinning and I skipped the core workouts after the first day. you really can't do all the programs every day or you would be exhausted by the end of the week. Pace yourself - there's no pressure to be at everything - in fact the staff also recommend pacing and not trying to do too much.

I recommend the self-directed yoga with support later in the week. Its a good way to get your own personalized yoga practice to take home - and its almost like getting a personal lesson. I went two times and there was only one other person doing it - so I got a lot of attention from the instructor on duty.

I also signed up for the total wellness add on which includes 5 or so spa treatments - excellent massage treatments! I tried the infra-red sauna, but only went twice - it was warm enough and I sweated a lot from the regular programs - I didn't need to sweat much more.

For a single male traveler I had the perfect mix of quiet time, social interaction, exercize, healthy eating (excellent food), and pampering.

The staff is wonderful - from the instructors, wellness staff, housecleaning staff, snack bar staff, and the "leaders" who are instructors who wear a couple hats - they make a point of checking in a few times personally during the week to see how things are going, are very approachable. They mingle a bit during meals.

I will be back!!
