Women's Muay Thai & Fitness Retreat on Phuket's Soi Ta-Iad

Days start early on the Soi. Muay Thai sessions run with experienced Thai coaches who teach authentic technique — the clinch, the kicks, the footwork — and they adjust the work to whoever is in front of them. Alongside the Muay Thai there are strength and conditioning sessions at Pirate Camp Phuket: explosive circuits, endurance rounds, and a lot of people sweating and shouting each other through it. Stretching and mobility work is built in so you can keep training through the week.

Weather permitting, some sessions move to the beach. Beach training combines movement work with ocean air and the Phuket coastline, and there is a beach yoga session that focuses on slowing down and stretching out tired muscles after days of hard training. It is recovery, not a performance.

The week is not all gym. Included in the price are Muay Thai fight tickets, so you watch a real fight night on the Soi, plus a beach club day, a trek up to Big Buddha, and a trip to Ya Nui Beach for kayaking and snorkelling. There is a Thai massage in there too, and the recovery facilities — ice baths, sauna and steam room — are available for the days when your legs have had enough.

Soi Ta-Iad itself is the reason this retreat is here rather than anywhere else. It is a short street in Chalong packed with gyms, fight camps, healthy cafés and sports shops, and it has been the base for Muay Thai training in Phuket for decades. You can walk from your room to a session, eat, sleep and do it again the next day.

The retreat is women-only and open to all levels, 18 and over. That mix matters: beginners get taught properly rather than left at the back, and people with experience still get pushed. The group trains, eats and travels together for the week, which is how most people end up leaving with a set of phone numbers they actually use.

Two dates are confirmed: 16–23 October 2026, and a second retreat in April/May 2027 with registration of interest open now.
