8-Day Reformer Pilates Week in Koh Samui with Studio Apartment Stay

Each morning you walk 12 minutes from your apartment to the studio in Chaweng (4/38 Moo 2, 3rd floor), where your reformer class runs as part of the studio's regular timetable. Classes are capped at 10 people on ten wooden reformers, taught by the teachers who run them all year. After class, breakfast and lunch are at Isla Café downstairs — lunch gives you ฿700 to spend across the menu each day. Afternoons and evenings are free.

What separates this from other Pilates retreats is that you get your own apartment rather than a room in a shared retreat house. The Studio Room is 31 m² with one king bed, a private kitchen, a balcony over the garden, a pool with a view and free wifi. The apartment has no restaurant, which is why breakfast is at the café. It sleeps two, so you can bring a partner or a friend — including one who doesn't do Pilates, who can share the room for a price you ask about at booking.

The teaching team is small. May is the founder and the person who answers your messages and arranges your stay. Classes are taught by the studio's reformer teachers, including a Balanced Body–certified teacher with more than 2,000 hours of group-class teaching behind her. The approach is low-impact and joint-friendly: strength, mobility and control, with room to rest.

Chaweng puts the beach, restaurants and night market within reach, and the studio sits above Isla Café, so coffee and food are a staircase away. Samui airport is about 10 minutes from the studio, and airport pick-up and drop-off are included both ways. Send your flight details once booked and someone will meet you on arrival.

Koh Samui is warm all year. The driest months are usually December to April; the wettest weeks are usually late October to early December, and the rain tends to come in bursts rather than all day. Bring clothes you can move in, grip socks (sold at the studio) and beach things.

Optional extras can be added when your room is confirmed: private one-to-one reformer sessions (60 minutes), extra group reformer classes, massages at the studio (60 minutes), sound baths, and a scooter by the day. Tell them how many you want in your booking message.
