A reformer class every morning, the sea every afternoon. Stay 7 nights at a beachfront resort at Maenam, on Koh Samui's quiet north coast, about 20 minutes from the studio, with a small-group reformer class at our Chaweng studio each day, lunch at Isla Café, and every transfer taken care of. New to the reformer or years in, solo or as a couple — you pick the dates.

Each day there's one reformer class at Isla's studio in Chaweng. These are the studio's own regular small-group classes — never more than ten people — taught by the teachers who run them all year, so the teacher can see how you move and adjust each exercise to your level. The work is strength, mobility and control: low-impact and joint-friendly, not a bootcamp. One rest day is part of the week; skip a class and nobody minds.

You stay at a beachfront resort at Maenam, on Koh Samui's quiet north coast, about 20 minutes from the studio. There are five room options: the Garden Villa and Seaview Garden Villa (Thai-style villas with a balcony, a full-length bath and a walk-in shower), the Sunset Suite (top of the resort, sea view, twin beds), the Ocean Suite (top floor, with a private jacuzzi on the balcony over the Gulf of Siam) and the Pool Villa (its own pool and Thai sala in a private garden). Breakfast is included. The resort has a pool with its own bar and a restaurant over the sea that uses produce from the resort's organic garden; guests get 30% off à la carte spa treatments, and the resort adds a Thai dinner for two on stays of six nights or more.

Lunch is at Isla Café, downstairs from the studio — ฿700 of the menu each day, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. The afternoons and evenings are yours: the beach, the pool, a massage, a scooter round the island, or nothing at all. If you want more, private one-to-one sessions, a second group class each day, massages and sound baths can be added as upgrades.

Isla is a reformer Pilates studio in Chaweng, Koh Samui, with ten wooden reformers and Isla Café downstairs. Your classes are the studio's own, taught by the teachers who run them all year. The person who answers your message is the one who books your room.

Samui airport is about ten minutes from the studio, and your pick-up and drop-off are included. The island is warm all year: it's driest from December to April, and the wettest weeks are usually late October to early December, when the rain comes in bursts.
