Regular Free Weekly Events
Tuesday Movie under the Stars
Lay back and relax on the beach underneath the starry sky and enjoy a movie from our eclectic collection, every Tuesday night at 8:30pm. Movies are screened in the restaurant during wet weather!
Thursday Open Mic Night
From singing, guitar, poetry and comedy to raincoat fashion parades, dijeridoo and belly dancing; we’ve nearly seen it all at our very popular Open Mic night. It happens every Thursday night at the Sanctuary restaurant. Whether you are on stage or in the audience, it is always an entertaining evening.. our talented Thai staff often join in the fun!
The Gathering - 3pm every Sunday
Join us at the Tea Temple every Sunday at 3pm for the opportunity to meet our healers… learn about the natural therapies on offer, ask questions and participate in demonstrations. It is also the perfect chance to meet other guests and find out about upcoming workshops, events and classes! During the School of Life, workshop teachers will present talks and demonstrations at the Gathering, before their workshop begins on Monday.
Get outdoors!
Hiking
Either take on the challenge of the jungle walk to Had Rin town (approximately 2 hours) or perhaps explore the riverbed and the waterfalls as the trail meanders its way up the hillside. There are also walks to other bays further north on the east coast.
The viewpoint is a beautiful place that some people find on their first day here, yet others take years to discover! A short 15 minute walk to the top of the headlands reveals a stunning view up the coast and of neighbouring island Koh Samui. Getting there for sunrise is a pilgrimage well worth the effort.
Boat Trips
Traditional Thai long-tail boat trips can be arranged with any of the family boatmen. Cruise the east coast in a long-tail boat and enjoy waterfalls, stunning coral and deserted beaches.
Sea Kayaking
We offer sea kayaks for rent as an adventurous and healthy way to explore the beautiful east coast of Koh Phangan. Take a packed lunch, visit deserted beaches and practice your snorkelling!
Ang Thong Marine National Park
Located west of Koh Phangan, a speedboat day trip to the marine reserve can be organised for you. This is an amazing day out where you can snorkel in totally untouched coral gardens, picnic on empty beaches and explore the Emerald Lake.
