8 Day Creative Wellness Retreat: DJ & Music Production with Daily Yoga or Muay Thai in Koh Samui

The Zen Beats Retreat in Koh Samui is an eight-day experience that pairs music learning with daily movement and rest. Mornings start with either yoga or Muay Thai, so your body feels strong and loose before hours of studio time. Breakfast and lunch are prepared by Chloé, using fresh, local ingredients to keep you steady through the day, and evenings bring authentic Thai dinners from local cooks.

Music workshops run up to five hours daily, covering DJing, music production, and studio recording in a professional setting at Sunrise Studio. With a maximum of four participants and two students per mentor, you get direct feedback and guidance. Liam, a composer and sound engineer who built the studio from scratch in 2022, leads the production and recording track. Malik, a DJ with over two decades of international stage experience, handles DJing and scratching. Beginners are welcome—the program is shaped around your level and goals, not the other way around.

Outside the studio, the retreat gives you plenty of space to unwind. There's a pool set in a tropical garden, a communal lounge with a pool table, and free Wi-Fi throughout. A motorbike is included for the week, so you can ride to nearby beaches, waterfalls, or temples at your own pace. The villa is about five minutes from the beach and surrounded by nature, so bird sounds start your day.

To close the week, DJ participants can perform a live set at a beach club—a real crowd, a real venue, and an experience that's hard to replicate elsewhere. Music production and recording students can also showcase their work if the moment feels right, though performing is entirely optional.

The retreat is intimate by design. The small group means you'll likely connect deeply with the other participants, and the hosts are hands-on, from free airport pickup to pre-retreat video calls to design your program. Whether you're looking to build a skill, finish a project, or just make music in a beautiful place, this week fits.
