Guest Reviews

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.

Perfect stay I had a wonderful week at Samahita on a yoga retreat with Adam Keen. Fantastic spotless accommodation, delicious food and a great programme of wellness activities in a beautiful beach front setting. The staff were all so welcoming, helpful and friendly. I hope to return very soon.

Samahita Cocoon Center French, I just spent 10 days at the Samahita retreat center in Koh Samui. It is a very pleasant and beautiful place, as I had hoped. The room at the back was impeccable, sober and elegant decoration and very comfortable. Spacious bathroom and good pressure in the shower. The center has a beautiful dimension and is very well organized. It allows you to walk as you please, yourself by staying alone and quiet, yourself by sharing convivial moments with other participants. The 2 yoga rooms are very good: one large closed but with large windows, the other completely open facing the sea. The courses in English are clear and precise, the very well-calculated series can be aimed at both amateurs and advanced levels. Team of friendly and warm teachers. The proposed rhythm of the "Core cycle" I followed is ideal. Evening meditations (one every 2 days or so) are very varied, not very long, original and of good quality. The breakfast buffet is followed by that of lunch, which allows a brunch. It's delicious, healthy, hearty and varied as well as the evening one. I keep in memory of magnificent sensations: the light breeze that glides on the skin during practice, the natural elements that vary, winds, clouds, rain, sun, the lights of the rising and setting sun... I met Germans, Canadians, English and Nordics and also French... The advantage of being able to come and leave as we wish has the slight disadvantage of having many and superficial relationships. But those who follow an internship on fixed dates must be able to get to know each other better and probably appreciate each other better. The beach is long and quiet, very few motor boats that are very noisy in many Thai islands. The sea water is very hot, but like everywhere on Koh Samui, soil a little muddy and sometimes rocky and shallow over long meters. Very pleasant walk outside the center to a small temple or to a small village 3 km away. Yes, I felt well regenerated when I left. This 10-day period was perfect for me; not too short. It could have been longer, but with the risk of getting too attached to it? Thank you to the whole team and all the very attentive staff. Bertrand

Excellent yoga retreat Excellent retreat for yoga. On the beach front sessions. Nice pool, can use kayak and paddle board for free. Core and fitness classes too. Slightly expensive massage treatments in relation to rest of the island. Good veggie food, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

As a whole I cannot recommend this resort Samahita is located on a lovely beach, appear luxurious, the staff is friendly and helpful and the food is Ok. My room however was really tiny and faced a 2m high concrete wall 2 m from the door, no other windows, the bathroom was shared, which was ok, a narrow space connected to the other room using the bathroom and this was the only space to dry your towels and swimsuit, only it didn’t dry there. The yoga was Ok but it was the practically the same yoga class repeteted every day, mot very inspiring. I did not participate in the fitness classes. As a whole I cannot recommend this resort

A must do Always wanted to do a yoga retreat but did not feel like leaving the family behind. I knew abt Samahita but wondered if my family would enjoy the experience too. They did in fact. I took a 3 day yoga core cycle. While I immersed myself into Samahita, my husband and daughters went to the beach, to the mall, enjoyed the pool and just like that 3 days were over. Food was great. My husband and I enjoyed it. My children liked the breakfast buffet but not the other meals. We could order spaghetti or mac and cheese for them. I love the pace of all the activities. I love the quietness of the place. I would love to go back again someday.

Good choice for a relaxing and yet somewhat active time booked the newly renovated beach private room with a total-self care program for 7 nights, the room does not have a view of the beach, but looking out onto a green courtyard which was also very peaceful. the mattress is probably one of the best i have ever slept in. (and i travel a lot) overall i liked the experience, its a mixture of a resort with all the comfort one seeks, and access to yoga and HITT classes. however if one is looking for a true yogi type of retreat, this is probably not it. i particularly like the Respect Silence rule in the mornings, it really adds to the calmness of the retreat, however if it could be reinforced a bit better would be ideal. and the food/meals were delicious, for a carnivore and foodie like myself, it was very easy and cleansing to go 100% vegetarian during my entire stay.
