A beautiful and special place. I came to recharge and truly did. I stayed in two rooms while here and both were beautifully designed. I was originally going to stay in the Treehouse but it was too big for just one person - but nevertheless - it was wonderful. The food is all vegetarian or vegan - perfect! Freshly made - locally sourced produce.. what more could you ask for? You take a speedboat to the island and that makes the experience even more wonderful. The staff are amazing helpful - I filled my day with treatments and good healthy, nourishing food, under a natural and lovely sun. It is also very good value for money. I truly hope I get to return one day!!!
I came to the sanctuary for a yoga retreat facilitated by my beautiful friend from Australia.I feel so grateful to have been apart of it at the most magical location on the island.Honestly, there is nothing bad to say. The food, the staff, the location, the accommodation, the service. It was all 10/10.
This was my fifth time at The Sanctuary in 2.5 years. From the first time, I fell in love with the place, the people, the staff, the food, the atmosphere- everything was just what I wanted and I knew I would be back very soon. Every time is just perfect in every way.Thank you Nolan, Sam, Tuna, William and the whole staff for making me feel so welcomed and at home. Will be back again soon :)
We had an amazing time. This place is so quiet and peaceful and the staff is really friendly. Thank you for everything !
A big thanks to Nan, Bone, Ann and the wellness team. I have just returned home after a 10 day fast at the Sanctuary and feel great. A great choice for anyone looking for a kick start for a healthy reset.
A quiet haven, away from agendas, pollution, noise and distractions. The perfect getaway for friends, couples or solo travellers to unplug, focus on their well being take yoga classes, eat clean, attend meditation classes, holistic therapies, workshops, swim in the ocean... get spoilt by the wonderful staff. Get excellent massages and treatments, meet like minded people on a journey of self discovery, finding their purpose and slowing down. Eat, breathe and be grateful. Thank you all.Ps: the first time I stumbled upon the sanctuary was in 2008! I promised myself I'd be back one day! Only took me 16 years!
Stayed in dorm. Avoid Zorba dorm room if possoble. Mung bean curry and french toast favorite dishes at the restaurant.
It's a beautiful place, with great staff in the most wonderful natural environment. It's not cheap but absolutely worth it! I will be back shortly.
This was one of the best things I ever did in my life. For my body, for my soul, for feeling connected to myself and others.I took part in the 200 hour yoga teacher training offered by the Swara Yoga Academy in the Sanctuary with the best teachers ever - Randall and Freya. From the first moment they made clear: this yoga course is not about maximum performance, acrobatic tricks or competition. It‘s about experiencing yourself, feeling good, gathering more energy than you loose in your daily life.At the same time you can learn challenging yoga poses. They guide you there step by step.In our group we felt like a family and had lots of fun in class. Thank you so much also for this, dear Freya and Randall. I love your sense of humour!And last but not least: the beautiful blue sea, delicious breakfast every day on the beach, the loveliest staff you can imagine in the restaurants and reception and everywhere in the Sanctuary.Just simply a wonderful place to be.I miss you all.
I’ve participated in a retreat at the Sanctuary in Thailand led be Revi. Revital is a wonderful, highly experienced and gifted teacher with magical ability to sense and tailor her practice and teaching to the needs of each individual participant. I enjoyed very much her approach of combining the philosophy of many Eastern schools to achieve a perfect experience for mind, body and spirit. Yoga, Pilates, Dance and self-care techniques blended in a deeply personalised sessions makes the experience invaluable. Her guidance and special techniques related to the female body and needs were unique and an eye opener to me, which I have never experienced in any other Yoga or Pilates class. Revital went beyond the regular curriculum to let us connect with the beauty of the very special location of the retreat: the ocean, sunrises, hiking in the jungle, the full moon and healthy delicious local cuisine were all key ingredients of the experience. I am looking forward to many more retreats to come with Revital! Thank you 🙏
I’d like to sincerely thank William, Sam, Min Min and Tuna and the rest of the gang at The Sanctuary for a very lovely and relaxing stay.
This place is truly special, not just for its breathtaking nature and peaceful atmosphere, but for the incredible team that makes it feel like home. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. It's a wonderful spot to meet amazing people, practice yoga, take part in other lessons, or simply lay back and relax. The yoga sessions and other classes are led by exceptional teachers who bring both passion and expertise, adding immense value to the entire stay. Surrounded by stunning nature and a positive energy that lifts your spirit, this place offers a rare blend of tranquility and inspiration.A special thanks to Sue, Abel, William, Sam, Tuna, Mey, Abale, and the entire crew for making everything perfect, and to the amazing teachers Randel and Nina for sharing their wisdom and guidance.
I did my Yoga Teacher training with Randall & Freya in March of 20204. It was truly transformational & turning point in my life. A little over a year ago, my physical and mental health were at an all-time low. Yoga, and the incredible guidance provided throughout this program, have been instrumental in my remarkable transformation. I landed at the Sanctuary one year prior to deciding of doing the YTT & the environment, staff, yoga teachers, vibes & food truly helped me gain my health back.The emphasis on progress over perfection resonated deeply with me, creating a supportive and authentic learning environment. This focus allowed me to explore my practice without judgment, building strength and confidence both on and off the mat.I am incredibly grateful for the dedication of the teachers and the healing power of yoga itself. Randall is truly one of the best ad most authentic teachers you will find & his life long dedication to yoga demonstrates it. This program has 100% equipped me with the knowledge and tools to share this transformative practice with others.If you're seeking a truly transformative yoga teacher training experience, look no further.
השתמשתי בשרותי המסעדה והחוף.אווירה מושלמת.חוף פרטי, הגעה במונית סירה.
This is by far the most magical place I’ve ever been in my life. Truly beautiful. The environment is filled with love and kindness. And the beach is amazing. It’s a very unique place and the scenery, the people, the place it’s just like heaven on earth. I will definitely come back in the future.
very stylish, restaurant is great, many vegan options. the meditation class was amazing and took place in an amazing shala in the gungle
El mejor servicio que he visto en un complejo hotelero y restauración. El personal muy profesional, atento, servicial, simpático (Gracias, Mimi, Sam, Tuna) personal de detox.El paraiso! Gracias por esta magnífica experiencia
My favorite beach... Clearest water... nice waves..But the prices are "criminal"high.Money welcome!The bourgoise of alternative Mainstream and Esoterik. I feel uncomfortable if alternative people pay such high prices..2 simple plain eggs 100 baht without anything around is a really arrogant.The others not better...This has nothing to do with Thailand anymore! This is a bubble and the new coloniaslism of Western tourism on higher Level at the most beautyfull places in the world...But the people pay these, and Thai people are excluded .The owners sureley are positive 😂 friendly with such a private goldmine.
The detox and wellness program and activities at the Sanctuary are very professional and great value for money when compared to other wellness retreats. I left feeling fantastic, and wishing I could stay longer. Although not luxury accommodations, they are fairly described on the website and priced accordingly. The location is a bit hard to get to but beautiful. I learnt a lot, and was so well supported and cared for by the lovely staff there. I will definitely be back!
This place gives you the feeling of having found another home from the moment you set foot on the bay. You can feel that special people - staff and visitors together - shaped the Sanctuary and its surroundings over the last decades, with a special motivation: building a place to recharge, recover maybe, finding peace. The food is amazing, the staff, the trainers and yoga teachers. And also the people that come here, many since many years. It’s a community.I took part in a 200h yoga teacher training at the Swara Yoga Academy at the Sanctuary guided by Randall o’Leary, and can recommend these four weeks of intensive learning from my heart. Very accessible, a way to deeply reconnect to yourself, the body, mind and especially focusing on the breath. Even if you don’t count yourself as an advanced practitioner you can take part, you will be able to finish the training. Go try :)
A true slice of heaven. Amazing bungalows, close to a private beach, friendly and helpful staff, great food, close to hiking areas and also two other beaches. You can easily take a taxi boat to various places on the island.
My week at The Sanctuary was truly life changing. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the jungle and sea, I found peace in daily yoga sessions, enjoyed delicious and healthy meals, and connected with the most wonderful people. The attentive staff made my experience even more special, always ready to help and making sure I felt cared for at every moment. It's more than just a retreat.. it's a sanctuary where I rediscovered myself surrounded by nature's embrace and in the process, this place became my home away from home 🙏🏾❤️ Thank you all! And see you later.
I cannot recommend this place enough!! It's a hidden gem. The food was delicious, every meal was full of flavour. I wish we had longer to try everything on the menu. Shout out to Soe, Mimi, Abel, Sam and Tuna for making our experience a very memorable one! Staff are amazing. We will definitely be back!! From the Rainbow house.
My favorite place in all of Ko Phangan, maybe in the whole world.Amazing atmosphere, clean and pristine beach, clean jungle rooms, perfect staff and also the guests themselves, people with great personalities one by one.As someone who has a lot of complaints and criticisms, I have nothing bad to say about this place
I didn’t stay at the resort, but I visited their restaurant/bar.Great location in the Beach!Cool Vibe, Lovely Views, Refreshing Drinks & Exceptional Customer Service!
