Private Yoga & Reformer Pilates Retreat on Bophut Beach

This retreat strips away the group-camp format of most yoga holidays and replaces it with something far more personal. From the moment you arrive, you have your own dedicated teacher for the entire stay. There's no rotating roster of instructors and no fixed schedule shared with strangers — instead, an arrival consultation shapes the week around your body, your level and what you actually need.

A typical day holds around three to four structured hours. Morning dynamic Vinyasa or Hatha flow runs from 6:30 to 8:00, followed by a healthy breakfast. Evenings bring Yin and restorative practice with sound healing as the light fades over the water. The rest of the day is deliberately left open — afternoons are for the beach, the pool, a long stretch, an excursion or just rest.

The signature element here is the yoga + Reformer Pilates combination. Two to three afternoons a week, you'll head to the Isla studio for Reformer Pilates with certified instructors, plus beachfront mat classes on the sand. It's the cross-training that makes a yoga practice stronger, and it's genuinely unique on Koh Samui.

Workshops run every other day — breathwork and yoga philosophy — and a curated half-day island excursion is included, along with one restorative spa treatment. The retreat is hosted by May and the Isla team, who founded and run Isla Pilates, Isla Café and their retreat experience in Bophut. Everything — the studio, the café, the teaching — comes from the same in-house team, so you're stepping into an established operation rather than a rented venue pop-up.

Location matters here. The retreat is based in Bophut on the north-east coast of Koh Samui, a quiet, upscale stretch near Fisherman's Village. The hotel sits directly on Bophut Beach, ten minutes from the airport and walking distance to the village's cafés, restaurants and night market.
