Samahita Retreat

the accomodation and the food

Gemoedelijk yoga paradijs waarin niets verplicht is en alles kan. Personeel is super vriendelijk en bevlogen in wat ze doen. Eten is fantastisch (vele glutenvrije en vegan opties) en de omgeving paradijseljjk. Meeste docenten vond ik echt top. En had het geluk dat Daphne Tse er was. Prachtige workshop esthetic dancing en avond waarin we samen zongen.

It is such an oasis, such a wonderful calming and soothing experience. A marvelous place to reboot . The food was the best o have had , so delicious , fresh and healthy . The flavours were top notch .

I loved the yoga and meditation with down to earth and helpful instructors .

I can’t recommend the place enough . I feel my values and spirit have been restored .

I liked the whole program: early morning meditation and yoga , breakfast, cardio in the afternoon … it feels super nice !

the retreat is run like a high end hotel. staff is professional, friendly and accommodating. clean and well maintained rooms and facilities. lots of food options including salads, eggs your way and fruits at all meals. the remote location is perfect for unwinding. adjacent beach areas need to be supported for an even better total environment.

I loved the beautiful kind resident street dog- best meeting of my entire 4 days there..

She was such a sweetheart.. she hated the storms

bless her❤️

The bed was comfy, reception guys were nice.

Speaking to a few people who did enjoy their stay was a group from USA , a yoga retreat group, maybe they brought their own teacher.

La qualité des repas, tout était excellent. Les profs sont très compétents et le lieu est beau.

The staff went above and beyond: so so helpful, it made all the difference.

The location was stunning, the room was great and the yoga instruction divine

amazing classes

Lovely environnment

Samahita ist ein magischer Ort voller Ruhe, Gelassenheit und Freude. Die Zeit vergeht dort langsamer als sonst. Die gesamte Umgebung gibt Raum zur Ruhe zu kommen und Kraft zu tanken. Das gesamte Team von Reinigung bis zu den Trainern ist freundlich, zuvorkommend, absolut kompetent und inspirierend. Ich habe die Zeit unglaublich genossen. Dieser Ort nimmt einen gefangen und viele kommen wieder. Ich persönlich bin überzeugt, dass ich eines Tages wieder zurück komme. Danke und Kompliment an das ganze Team von Samahita.

Beautiful place, fabulous staff and great food. The instructors were superb and highly knowledgeable. The treatments were fantastic! The entire place is designed to reboot, re-energize and reconnect with body and soul. I feel fitter, more flexible and totally relaxed. Will definitely come back

Beautiful surroundings, clean and upscale. Interesting folks to enjoy fabulous dinner conversations with, too. It was great to do yoga in a shala right on the beach to the sound of the sea. The food was clean and nutritious! My body and soul appreciated every part of the whole experience. I usually try new retreats and new destinations every time I travel, but Samahita is one I will definitely return to!

This is an amazing place with room for anyone wanting to do yoga. The place, staff, instructors, food and activities are top notch. People are coming back here over the years and I can't really see why. I would recommend to anyone interested.

Everything was perfect!

Beautiful setting, great facilities, perfect classes. Food was delicious and fresh and had a wide variety so it never felt boring. The massages were great and a good price. The reception staff were very helpful and the transfers were easy. I can't wait to come back.

My first ever visit to a yoga retreat and I loved it,

After a deep and long sleep I mingled with other guests, I was on my own. I Swam, paddle boarded, did spin cycle classes, circuit training which I loved and of course a bit of yoga. A really relaxing experience. Would recommend.

I loved my experience, from the wonderfully appointed room to excellent instructors, and healthy food. The simplicity and the high quality of services were carefully balanced. I was also impressed with the ecologically responsible ways the retreat runs its operations. I met great people, mostly from Europe, who appreciate the peace and quiet of the place.

Location is fantastic with direct access to the beach and food was phenomenal! It’s up to you how many sessions you join but I’d recommend you do them all! High level of yoga instruction, teachers are supportive and accommodate all needs.

My stay at Samahita was the best 4 days. The resort is small and cozy, right on the beach, and the view from the yoga shala is magnificent. The instructors were fantastic, clearly very skilled and knowledgeable, including Anna, who was completing her apprenticeship to become a yoga instructor. The food was beyond anything I could ever have imagined. It was exceptional, right down to the coffee. Every single bite was gourmet to me, and I’m a self proclaimed foodie! I had the most pleasant experience and would go back to Samahitain a heartbeat.

Great practice , beautiful people, excellent food… too short😉

The surroundings are just perfect, all the details are made with thought. Quiet, serene mornings at the beach before meditation… ah!

Yoga classes were great, also beginner friendly. Breath work pranayama was new to me, got a kickstart to that! Many thanks to Kirstin, Jack and Daniel, for such a great guidance, loved that you put out your personalities into your guiding, was such a great experience.

We had a great lecture on longevity as well. Temple walk was nice and interesting. Loved that we picked up trash together at the beach! You could also use the indoor bicycles on your own time if you wish!

Rooms are nice and clean, roomy. Bed very comfy with 4 pillows!

Food was fantastic! Everything fresh and homemade, loved it! Not too much salt or sugar, genuine flavors.

El conjunto del entorno y la tranquilidad y sensación de cuidado de uno mismo

The place and the classes where great, great costumer service the staff was very nice and friendly. The food was above great. Everything was great.

Despite being a complete yoga newcomer, I was welcomed and encouraged by instructors, staff and fellow guests and enjoyed the experience greatly. The meditation/breath work was equally rewarding and the location is stunning. I wish I could have stayed longer

Beautiful location, amazing food, great roster of classes that you can opt in/out of which allows you to have autonomy about how much you want to practice. A great few days.

De combinatie van yoga sporten en ultieme ontspanning op een fantastische plek! Top ervaring ga zeker terug

1. Food was fantastic! Restaurant staffs were always helpful and service fast.

2. Idea of circuit training and yoga combination are fantastic. I loved run 2 km with people.

3. Teachers are great! High quality.

4. Infrared sauna was great and help detox a lot.

5. Floating therapy was fun and great experience. I needed to get used first tho.

6. Location was amazing!

I love to come back for longer stay!

Everething is prepared with love. The room, the food, the places, the service, people working there... I love It very much.

Help and care instructors took to help your progress into yoga.

Samahita is a very sympathetic place, with hearty instructors and staff who make you feel welcome. The place is nicely situated right by the sea and has a great variety of cosy lounges where you can relax and the rooms are comfortable. Most of all I really appreciated the emphasis on recycling and eco-friendliness at Samahita. In addition, I found the treatments to be if very good quality.

Fantastisk hyggeligt sted, med en rigtig god stemning/atmoshere. Dygtige instruktører. Skøn mad

Venligt personale

I liked the whole experience at Samahita.

A week of total immersion in breathing techniques, meditation and yoga practice as well the very fun core exercise classes. A place that I was lucky to find and very happy that I did!

La nourriture était délicieuse et saine. Les cours de yoga étaient complets. La plage belle et tranquille. Tout le monde étaient gentils et souriants.

All of the classes are in depth, whether it was yoga, meditation or fitness, I learnt something new each time.

The teachers are all incredible and really care about giving the best guidance.

The food is delicious and the massage I had was brilliant.

It was very good! The place, the food, the teachers, the staff, the wonderful weather. I am so grateful for staining one week in the place. The energy was so nice, it’s so peaceful and respectful of the nature!! I definitely recommend Samahita. If you love yoga, this is the place to pratice in communion with nature!!!thank you very much

We really enjoyed the yoga classes and the location just on the peaceful place

We enjoyed the food the room.its.was great

We will back there and recommend this place for relaxing time or yoga retreat

This retreat has an incredible energy about it with the friendliest staff, incredibly helpful and warm. The yoga classes are suited for beginner to advanced and all of the instructors provide great knowledge, corrections and variations to suit everyone as well as adaptions for injuries. The spa treatments are out of this world and the therapists are all professional and highly trained. The fitness classes are fun and challenging. The food is healthy and delicious with loads of variety. The location is tranquil, with a beautiful beach on your doorstep and fun excursions planned in the week to some local attractions. So impressed and highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from the hustle bustle of life!

My private lessons from Therapist Ara clearly demonstrated she is in the presence, genuinely engaging, caring & has a pleasant joyful nature.

Ara guided my breathing rhythmic, correcting my yoga postures in Yin & Vinyasa & inspired me to give my best in silent Yoga Core Cycle in order to discover how I'm capably challenged without music, just listen to my breath!

The nutritious plant-based food locally sourced & all made & prepared in the kitchens retreat by the Samahita staff who are so likeable, friendly & have everlasting smiles.

Introducing me to Keto bullet proof coffee - truly grateful for that unexpected treat.

Expertise treatment from The Wellness team for my self-care sessions.

Watching my son being in absolute joy.

Surrounded by purity & harmony.

Forever grateful to Samahita team & Therapists & Guests.

All this thanks to Yoga

Namaste 🙏🏻

Amazing retreat, would highly recommend. Found exactly what I was looking for: peace, great classes and a very nice vibe. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for such an experience.

The atmosphere was amazing. It felt like home, like family. The facilities are great and it is right at the beach which is beautiful. We couldn't believe how amazing and delicious the food was and everything was healthy. I went with my mum and we are beginners at yoga but the classes are very good for different levels as the teachers will give different options for each position. They also have a really good spa where you can book treatments and massages. We liked everything about our stay and would love to come back! Thank you to the whole team at Samahita.

I liked the ambience of the resort - calm, friendly,happy place. The healthy food was delicious. The setting right on the beach was idyllic. I was a beginner yogi & felt extremely comfortable fitting in with all levels in 1 class. The instructors were exceptionally helpful & caring to my needs. I learnt a lot & am inspired to take up yoga & continue a healthier lifestyle.

The instructors, Ara and Rebecca guided the classes wonderfully. I have grown so much in understanding by attending their classes. Food served was delicious, healthy and prepared with great thought and care.

The service and amenities are great. It’s a beautiful, relaxing setting for a wellness retreat.

Location: It’s about 40 minutes from the airport and a fair distance from nightlife, shops etc, but you can easily book a hotel car to visit places like Lamai beach (20 mins), Silver beach (35 mins) or Chaweng (40 mins). A round trip will cost around 1,100 Thai Bhat.

Food: The buffet spread that was included in my package was of the healthy variety - raw, clean, fresh. The only non-vegetarian food served is fish. It got a bit bland for me but I get the concept. Btw, there is more variety to choose from the ala crate menu e.g. Thai salads, curries etc.

Overall, the package (which I booked through bookyogaretreats.com) suited me well because I wanted the freedom to choose which sessions I attend so that I can go off and explore the island on my own time.

Very important yoga classes that help to make a trip to your internal world, to know better yourself and, finally, to be a better person. Amazing nature, delicious , organic and healthy dishes(!!!) Friendly staff and respect for all! We spent a great time in Samahita Retreat together with my daughter

Very Friendly staff, meals were good (very healthy), and amazing place overall.

Everything

The entire experience exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect. I loved the silence in the morning, the yoga practice by the beach, the fact that we started the mornings with cycling, the combination of core and yoga is a beautiful idea. Everyone is free to choose their classes and make their own individual experience. Aromatherapy massage is amazing. All in all a coming within yourself experience while connecting with all the beauty of nature. I highly recommend the snorkeling and boat trip to the island as that is another piece of paradise. The walk to the temple gives you such a beautiful view from up top. Take everything in and allow!

Amazing teacher team, Gillian, Daniel, Ara, So, Atraiz... thank you very much. I was an absolute beginner in yoga, but you teachers were patient, gave answers to all my questions and made it very easy to learn the basics.

Doing yoga in the morning with beach view during sunrise and meeting a lot of interesting characters is a tempting combination. The food is vegan but really good, massages are great, rooms are clean and the classes are sometimes challenging, but never I really liked the combination of yoga, fitness and spinning.

I am Definitely coming back! Thanks again to the whole team.

The retreat was calm and peaceful. My accommodations were very nice. Food was healthy and good variety of different things. Beach along the retreat was very nice. Yoga instructors were very good. They had a little library to borrow books, which was nice. Planned activities (a walk to see temples).

What a beautiful retreat, everything was amazing! The yoga, fitness and spinning classes were great! I loved that every day the classes were taught by different instructors. The best part was being surrounded by like minded people and hanging out.

I loved the location - right on the beach. The room was calming and comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable. The food was mostly very good, although a few dishes were a bit tasteless.

The teachers were excellent and I liked having different teachers for each class to add variety - I’m afraid I don’t know their names so I can’t rate them individually.

The place was just the right mix of healthy and zen without being over the top for a newbie. For example the rule of silence until 10 am was great, but if it had extended all day that would have been too much.

I liked the way the instructors were able to cater to both the most agile and the least experienced in a group with the various options for the poses. They were always able to advise and encourage but not to push, which suited this older lady!

The layout and location are superb.

So many positives: teachers, therapists, location, facilities, food, all terrific. Everyone works towards you having the experience you want and need. But there’s a lovely, serene spirit that permeates Samahita. And when you relax into it, and get over the concept of spinning at a yoga retreat (by the way it works, although there’s no pressure to do anything), you’ll feel it. Learnt heaps. Loved it.

The peaceful quiet place. Nice people. Clean food.

The Infrared sauna is good. The massage service is superb

The food was amazing healthly flavourful and fresh. All was homemade and ingredients sourced locally. The yoga teacher were very knowledgeable and attentive.

-The yoga instructors including Daniel, Rebecca and Sarah were great, enjoyed going to their classes!

-The room was very spacious.

-The highlight of my stay was meeting a lot of very nice, friendly people from all over the world with different backgrounds.Thoroughly enjoyed mingling with them.

L ambiance et le bord de mer

Love the food, teachers and also love how the use all product that eco friendly

I liked the structure of the programme - the fact that it was a good mix of yoga and functional training which complemented my yoga practise. The programme was well-planned and wonderfully executed. I was able to deepen and strengthen my practise without fear of injury.

The instructors we’re very welcoming and warm. They were knowledgable, prodessional and attentive. The location is beautiful, just next to the beach and creates a wonderful surrounding. The facilities were over all expectations, both the accomodation, the shalas and the rest of the dining space and resting space.

My boyfriend and I just enjoyed a fantastic week of yoga, core, cycle. The classes were challenging (just what we were looking for), the food was healthy and delicious and the location was very conducive to relaxation and quiet. It was great to have the option in the morning of an instructor-led class or teacher-assisted self practice. We enjoyed the temple walk excursion as well as walks on the beach and in the surrounding neighborhood. We felt it was an excellent value for the money. Highly recommend and would go back!

The peace maintained throughout the resort, the beachside workout, the vegan buffet, friendly and helpful staff. The spa was good too.

Food was amazing and fresh.

Staff were helpful.

Day spa masseuses were exquisite.

Beautiful instructors and surrounds.

Breathwork classes were the greatest gift that I hope to take home with me.

The food was amazing! Every day during our stay we had something different. Healthy and tasty. Room accommodations were wonderful. We stayed in the new wing.

L'endroit est magnifique, l'équipe est adorable douce et bienveillante, les repas sont fins,frais et délicieux. J'ai vécu 10 jours dans une bulle. Au calme. Dans un cadre merveilleux.

1. Healthy, tasty and filling vegetarian food. All food was served as buffet. Breakfast started at 6.30am and brunch ran until 1pm. Fruit snack was at 3.30pm and dinner was from 6-8pm. I was never hungry and didn't have to buy extra food.

2. Great Yoga Cycle Programme. Having done my research, what I liked about the programme at Samahita was the balance between fitness, meditation and yoga. All the instructors were fabulous. It lived up to expectations.

3. Clean rooms and great bathroom. I loved the well sized bathroom. The rooms were very clean.

4. Great location. I loved how we were right in the south of the island. As a retreat I think it was good that it was located on the more remote side of the island. The facilities were so good that I didn't want to leave the site anyway.

5. Great spa. Relative to Thailand, the treatments were expensive. However the quality, ambiance and the professionalism of the treatments and therapists were excellent. If you purchase the wellness package then you get a daily treatment which is great value for money.
