Yoga Retreat in Thailand

  1st ever solo trip - definitely a great experience especially for an energising retreat after 3 years of no travelling.

Location - rooms are simple and straightforward, amenities... read more a bit dated but everything was clean and comfortable. don't expect anything super fancy/premium as it's not what the offering is. Beach was lovely despite not 100% clean to swim in (not the resort's fault). Best precious moments were morning yoga classes with the breeze and the sound of waves :)

Wellness package - tiny bit inconsistent.. the Sauna and Float Therapy are kind of DIY as expected, although communications/directions could be clearer. The Sabai Massage was amazing.

Food - REALLY GOOD. Genuinely healthy and delicious.

Staff - the teachers and staff truly made the whole experience great, thanks Daniel, Kirsten, Gill for great energy and care. They have gone out of their way to check on the guests inside and outside of classes. I could only take one of Gill's classes but wow her positive energy was so infectious. They're such great motivation for anyone who wants to become a yoga teacher and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. Thanks Kirsten for a great inspiring chat at the end of my trip, it was very meaningful for me. Ae and Derrick from F&B staff were fantastic and especially kind - they made an effort to remember names and were so personable. I really appreciate you guys! You did such a great job and it means a lot.

Until next time!

  It was our 2nd visit to Samahita Retreat & still love it. Great place to reconnect with inner mind, worked on our core strength, enjoy healthy delicious food, meet new... read more friends, and deepen our yoga techniques and understanding, thanks to our teachers Kirsten, Daniel and So. Friendly staff, Ae, Pui, Fong, Koi, Paew and others, who remembered us from our previous trip in Nov, who made our trip more memorable. The therapists were great too- must try the Thai Traditional Massage , Sabai Massage and Infrared sauna.

We will be back!

  Transformed! - I had the most wonderful stay at Samahita. It took me a few days to settle into - I'm not used to travelling alone and am used to a... read more bit of spoiling on holiday and having a few drinks! It took a day or two to get used to the fact that there was no wine with dinner and that you served yourself and cleared your own plates etc - however, I quickly came to see that this was an advantage! The food was delicious and you could eat as much as you liked. After a couple of days, I found that I did not need the wine either - I enjoyed giving my body a break!
The yoga and fitness at the resort was fabulous. The instructors were all so knowledgable and built everything up step by step so that you believed it was all possible and found that you could actually do more than you might have thought. So a huge thank you to Kirsten, Daniel, Jack and So! If there was one tiny niggle about the yoga classes it was that on occasion it felt a little crowded and it was a bit difficult to see the instructor but this was minor.
The treatments (included in the self care package) were fantastic! I don't know how they do it but the strength of the women was incredible and the massages really made a difference. The infra red sauna and floatation were also a wonderful way of relaxing and detoxing. I felt that these really added to the whole programme.
The room was lovely and comfortable. Large room with a huge bathroom.
I did a couple of trips during my stay which were also good and enabled me to see a bit of the island.
My only slight negative (and this is really personal - there will be a lot of people who disagree!) was that I felt that this was not a place for small children and I would have like to have known that children may be there. It was only a couple of days at the end when one family with two small children arrived. They were lovely, the parents attentive and considerate and the children well behaved but with children that small it is inevitable that there will be some noise and disturbance and I personally would have preferred for it to be adults only - just my own thoughts!
Overall the resort was fabulous - well priced with some excellent teaching, fantastic food and wonderful treatments. Thank you!
