8-Day Yoga & Wellness Holiday on Ko Samui with Daily Classes and Spa Treatments

Absolute Sanctuary has been running yoga programs for 15 years, and it shows in how smoothly the week runs. You get unlimited access to group yoga, meditation, and fitness classes, so you can build your own schedule around what you feel like doing. The included private yoga session and Pilates reformer class add a bit of one-on-one attention, and the two 60-minute deep calm massages plus the 90-minute Thai stretch massages are a serious part of the package.

The sequence of included treatments is generous: two 60-minute deep calm massages, two 90-minute absolute Thai stretch massages, a facial yoga treatment, an upper body and neck massage, a foot soak and foot sanctuary, a colon hydrotherapy session, and time in the FAR infrared sauna and herbal heat steam room. All of that is in addition to the daily classes and meals, so this isn't a retreat where you'll be left with a lot of unstructured time.

Jana, the lead yoga instructor, has been with the resort since 2010 and brings a warm, careful style, particularly with guests who have back issues. Kevin, the Pilates and fitness instructor, runs dynamic classes focused on correct form. The resort itself is on the north-eastern side of Ko Samui, five minutes from the airport and close to Chaweng and Choeng Mon beaches, with a free shuttle to the beaches.

The wellness angle is reinforced by the initial consultation with a bio impedance analysis, which gives you a sense of where your body is at the start of the week. The resort is affiliated with Absolute You, Thailand's health and lifestyle brand, and the yoga program has hosted teacher trainings with well-known names like Paul Grilley and Desiree Rumbaugh, so the teaching standard is high.
