11-Day Reformer Pilates & Wellness Retreat on Koh Samui Beach

Isla STILL is the retreat arm of Isla Pilates, a Reformer studio and cafe in Bophut on Koh Samui's north coast. Unlike retreats that rent a venue and bring in freelance teachers, this one operates entirely in-house. The studio has its own Premium Reformer equipment, the cafe is an actual working kitchen, and the instructors teach there every day. That consistency is what makes the week feel steady.

Your mornings are given to Reformer Pilates. The twelve group sessions are taught in the studio, with a small group capped at four guests, so you get plenty of attention. There are also two private 1:1 Reformer sessions tucked in, plus a mid-retreat consultation to refine what you want from the second half. The teaching builds gradually through the week - foundation work first, then technical focus, then integration and take-home cues.

Accommodation is a private villa studio on the Villa Sasipimon estate in Chaweng Noi, a standalone duplex with an open living room, a gallery bedroom looking out to sea, and your own terrace with a jacuzzi. Breakfast is served at the villa each morning, and lunch happens at Isla Cafe, which is a short walk or drive away. Dinners are left free so you can explore Bophut's restaurants.

The retreat keeps the pace deliberately unhurried. Long afternoons are for the beach, the pool, a massage, or simply sitting on your terrace. There's a full rest day with no class at all. Two evenings have sound healing. At the end, your instructor puts together a personalised movement plan for you to take home, and the team checks in with you 30 days later.

Isla was founded and led by May, whose background is in building the studio from a single Reformer room into a full wellness brand. Reviews highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the quality of the instructors, and the small class sizes. It's a quiet week made for solo travellers, though friends or partners are welcome too.
