Albert Hudson ★★★★★ What an amazing place,The location was incredible, the people where so kind and hardworking all the staff really where great, I would come back in a heartbeat.Big thank you to the Sanctuary for everything you have done to make my stay as magical as it gets. :) Response from the owner Dear Albert,Thank you so much from all of us at The Sanctuary! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed yourself. We hope to welcome you back to 'our little paradise' soon. Debi Hollingworth ★★★★★ My partner brought me here as he had visited 14 years ago and it didn’t disappoint. We arrived by longboat straight onto the beach. The accommodation was great and adequate for our needs. The views were amazing but more than that the people were so accommodating. Special thanks for Tuna for sorting our accommodation needs and also to Nee for supporting us through our detox.We did a 7.5 day detox and stayed for a total of 18 days. The detox package was well supported and Nam seemed very knowledgeable. We met a great bunch of people also detoxing which was a great support. The yoga also included was excellent with Sophie and Chris.The food in the restaurant is delicious and fully supports post detox eating. William always had a welcoming smile and can do attitude.The 2 surrounding bays are also good with additional restaurants.I would highly recommend this place for either detox or yoga retreat or just to stay as it is idyllic Tyler Buckley ★★★★★ The Sanctuary is and always has been the best wellness centre on Koh Phangan. Excellent services, warm and friendly staff, great rooms for any budget, extensive food options for all dietary requirements, and a location second to none. Thanks for another wondrous stay ❤️ Response from the owner Your words light up our day!It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciate our wellness centre. We can't wait to welcome you back for more wonderful moments! Daniel Lessons ★★★★★ I would say this is one of the most special places I’ve ever visited. The setting is absolutely spectacular. The staff are amazing - so kind, friendly and personable, and just great to hang and chat with. Nan in the wellness centre is unbelievable - she’s kind, incredibly smart, and will answer any questions and help you reach any health goals. Nolan the GM is a legend - lovely guy that makes you feel right at home. Then there’s Cav - he will ensure you’re laughing and having a good time the whole time you’re here - total legend. Nina runs the gym, and it does the best workouts - I wish I had her as my personal trainer forever - she will make you work, but gives you so much kind and warm encouragement. Tash is a lovely Brit, who will have nice little chats and always make sure you’re having a good time, Tuna in the office is a legend, William and Sammy in restaurant are lovely, funny, cool people. The facilities are fantastic - steam room, infrared sauna, movement room, beautiful yoga spots, meditation, healers, massages, facials and more. Food is amazing as well. This is one special place. The only issue, is you might not want to ever leave, and it’s not uncommon for people to stay longer. If you come, you won’t regret it. It’s the best place I’ve ever found.

Response from the owner Dear Dale,Thank you so much for the five-star review. We hope to welcome you back to our little paradise again in the near future. Fabio Casto ★★★★★ During covid and lockdown I often thought about this place, knowing it was closed, and fear that it could close forever or going bankrupt.I’m very happy to see The Sanctuary now open, renew, reborn, even better than it was before. All the staff, the restaurant, bungalows, great food, great vibe, yoga and all that made this place a unique location in the last 30 years or so.Great news: Guy’s bar is now closed, no more party on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Perfect location to get away and very quiet. Secluded and peaceful, a great place to heal. Response from the owner Thank you so much for your glowing review. We loved having you here and excited to have you back in the new year for more group retreats. Wishing you continued serenity and growth until then. Sam Jost ★★★★★ Outstanding - Mein Lieblingshotel weltweit!- Grandioses vegeterisches Essen, Säfte und Limonaden.- Umfangreiches Angebot an conscious workshops.- einzigartige Bungalows die in die Natur integriert sind- ruhige Atmosphäre am Tag und Abend- kein Verkehr, kein massentourismus, fast keine Kinder*Nicht geeignet für heikle Menschen oder Menschen die sich vor Insekten ekeln. Man lebt mit der Natur im Einklang. Rosan Cruz ★★★★★ I had an absolutely amazing weeklong experience at The Sanctuary. I booked a 5.5-day detox program. I felt well taken cared of by the staff. They went above and beyond, especially on my fourth day when my energy levels dipped. The nutrition & lifestyle medicine practitioner, Nan, and the entire team were attentive and made sure I had everything I needed to feel revitalized.I particularly enjoyed the variety of spa treatments offered at The Sanctuary. The oil massage, salt scrub, and stomach massage were absolute bliss. The yoga sessions were a fantastic way to start each day.The colonics area at The Sanctuary was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and hygienic space. This aspect added to the overall positive experience, making the detox process smoother and more convenient.I also highly recommend exploring the different healing practitioners available: breath work workshop, and body work sessions, yin yoga.Overall, my 5.5-day detox at The Sanctuary was an exceptional self-care journey. I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention I received during my stay. Maybe next time I’ll do ten days.Note: go early so you can enjoy Sanctuary’s restaurant. Also try the restaurants nearby: vegan fare at WayNam beach, the red snapper at Bambu Hut, local fare at Love Lips. מיטל כהן גנוט ★★★★★ לא ישנתי בחוף הזה, אלא בחוף ליד אבל נראה מפנק, חלומי, אינטימי ורגוע.חוף פרטי שמגיעים איליו רק עם טקסי בואט. Response from the owner Thank you for your lovely message. Ron Zimardi ★★★★★ Vibe here plus being on KP is magical. Came back to Samui and packed everything up and moved to KP. Best food ever. Very friendly staff. Architecture is amazing Response from the owner Thanks Ron ! Jack Spicer ★★★★☆ Beautiful and breathtaking yoga retreat nuzzled on a remote beach on the island of Koh Phangan. It’s the perfect place to get away and really be in a remote part of nature in the jungle for whatever reason you may need on your journey of personal growth. The accommodation was clean and private, although be prepared to surrender some comforts of a modern hotel. The hike to your room might be a little bit long.Although the hotel is centered around its yoga offerings, it also boasts a restaurant, spa, shop, and coarse coral sand beach. The staff is ready to help for whatever assistance you may need. Just down to the next beach is another cliff top restaurant with a fantastic view of the ocean.Be aware that this is a difficult location to reach. The boat drivers that leave from Haad Rin will wait for a full boat. This is not your typical Uber ride, and you may have to wait or pay more in order to reach the sanctuary. The back road in is incredibly bumpy. Do not book this hotel if you are not prepared to make that journey.The prices felt high, although we did visit around the time of the full moon party, which the whole island revolves around. Keep that in mind when planning your travels. Response from the owner Dear Jack,Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We hope to see you again soon! Lily Tunbridge ★★★★★ A truly magical place:Firstly the Location WOW, the remote bay is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Haad Rin and the rest of the island, enmeshed in the jungle and at one with nature.The staff working here really do make you feel looked after, the kindest staff members I have ever encountered.The Sanctuary offers to all !With a caring and kind range of quality yoga teachers. Carrying out 3 core classes a day from vinyasa flow to yin yoga.To a life changing Detox centre assisted by a wonderful wellness specialist and a fabulous team who are very supportive of your detox journey.The spa has a fabulous range of treatments and feels extra beautiful as it is located in a tree house. The spa technicians are extremely talented and friendly.The sanctuary also has a healing centre called the tea temple. Different healers offer different methods, from acupuncture to astrology readings to meditation. All of whom are superb !The restaurant is also breathtaking as it’s located right by the ocean. A delicious varied menu followed by an exciting drinks menu from smoothies, juices and cocktails.All in all it was difficult to leave.You feel an overwhelming sense of calm and happiness being here ❤️ Response from the owner Dear Lily,Thank you so much for all your lovely comments!

Michael Gavin ★★★★★ Originally only planned on staying 6 nights.That blew out to 2 weeks and my only disappointment was I couldn’t stay longer.All the staff made me feel particularly welcome and relaxed.Food was fantastic and healthy.Enjoyed a great reiki session with Sophie L and a couple of great meditation sessions with Michael.As a novice when it came to yoga I was apprehensive but Sophie S made me feel welcome and at least capable of finishing a class.Her classes had a great atmosphere and really I can’t thank her enough for her guidance and patience.Last but definitely not least I must mention Lacrima.I was lucky enough to join her for multiple meditation sessions and I absolutely loved the experience.It rekindled my love of meditation and a mere thank you to her seems insufficient for something so special.Can’t recommend enough!!!!A special placeSpecial peopleMany thanks to all!!

Jane Fischer ★★★★★ The Sanctuary lives up to its name. There are no road vehicles (just boat taxis). We love the swimming at Haad Thien beach, the delicious and healthy food, detoxing with assistance of the expert staff at The Wellness Centre, massages and saunas at the Spa, practicing yoga and Tai Chi with excellent teachers and the walks in the jungles. We recently enjoyed our 4th visit to The Sanctuary. The staff at the resort’s reception expertly handled all our concerns and needs. We stayed 11 unforgettable nights in the Ocean View House. The house has a circular view facing the sunrise/moonrise and Koh Phanghan jungle. We look forward to more stays in this house. Response from the owner Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay at The Sanctuary. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

Each morning you climb to the top of a mountain to practice yoga at Buddha Hall. One morning, monkeys practiced right outside the hall with us! The team has tremendous love and respect for the ancient discipline of yoga. We experienced a puja and it was magnificent! Each day you can choose to swim in the ocean, eat incredible food, practice yoga, participate in meditation, cleanse your body, mind and soul. Sepe was a gifted masseuse! The combined pricing is extremely affordable comparative to any Western offerings. If you are able to get here, plan to take a certification and stay for a few months. It is breathtaking.

We're thrilled to hear that you found our place to be a little slice of paradise. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon! Jack Spicer ★★★★☆ Beautiful and breathtaking yoga retreat nuzzled on a remote beach on the island of Koh Phangan. It’s the perfect place to get away and really be in a remote part of nature in the jungle for whatever reason you may need on your journey of personal growth. The accommodation was clean and private, although be prepared to surrender some comforts of a modern hotel. The hike to your room might be a little bit long.Although the hotel is centered around its yoga offerings, it also boasts a restaurant, spa, shop, and coarse coral sand beach. The staff is ready to help for whatever assistance you may need. Just down to the next beach is another cliff top restaurant with a fantastic view of the ocean.Be aware that this is a difficult location to reach. The boat drivers that leave from Haad Rin will wait for a full boat. This is not your typical Uber ride, and you may have to wait or pay more in order to reach the sanctuary. The back road in is incredibly bumpy. Do not book this hotel if you are not prepared to make that journey.The prices felt high, although we did visit around the time of the full moon party, which the whole island revolves around. Keep that in mind when planning your travels. Response from the owner Dear Jack,Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We hope to see you again soon! giovanni marchi ★★★★★ Sactuary is a magic place where to explore your soul. I ve ejoyed a great Detox programme there and i met wonderful people. Thank you Sanctuary, see you again soon. shanon strickler ★★★★★ The best place to fully comprehend the beauty of the Thailand jungle. If you like waking up to monkeys sitting on the couch and lizards acting as pest control, this is the place for you. The surrounding wildlife draws you back to the true meaning of nature while the lovely staff at the Sanctuary tends to your every need. This place is the literal definition of heaven on earth. Best beach access, food selection, and spiritually enriching activities in Thailand. Response from the owner Sharon, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on google ! We sharing love our slice of ‘heaven on earth’🥰❤️ Jane Fischer ★★★★★ The Sanctuary lives up to its name. There are no road vehicles (just boat taxis). We love the swimming at Haad Thien beach, the delicious and healthy food, detoxing with assistance of the expert staff at The Wellness Centre, massages and saunas at the Spa, practicing yoga and Tai Chi with excellent teachers and the walks in the jungles. We recently enjoyed our 4th visit to The Sanctuary. The staff at the resort’s reception expertly handled all our concerns and needs. We stayed 11 unforgettable nights in the Ocean View House. The house has a circular view facing the sunrise/moonrise and Koh Phanghan jungle. We look forward to more stays in this house. Response from the owner Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay at The Sanctuary. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon.
